	...the pig's meat was rare so it should be enough for the all year. We made from it hams, salamis, sausages, the rigatino and all the other stuff. Then we ate it slice by slice with a lot of bread, usually at breakfast, before going to the fields..

	If you like the sliced salami and you are curious of try them you can choose this beautiful basket. There is inside of it all the better things made here with the pork meat: the ham, the salame, the rigatino, so called for its fat and lean lines, and the finocchiona, like the salame, but with fennelin place of the pepper giving to it a very special flavour.

	Sometimes I quarrel with my wife so that she goes on strike and refuses to cook; but it's better, you know, 'cause I have a good reason to get a new salami, a special one from which we get good feeling back, so far it is tasty, and, at the end of the dinner, we are in peace again.

	The name comes from fennel, which is put into the mincemeat. It is eaten often for breakfast or for an afternoon snack: at the first cut it makes such a smell that one would like to try it also if you aren't hungry. But you need to eat it as we used to, little by little, 'cause you cannot joke with pork�

	Here we call ham "our" (nostrale) or "tuscan" because it is so tasty that doesn't need presentations in our homes. To slice it I use a thin sharp knife, which I keep closed into a velvet box as a Sir ham requires it.

	The rigatino would be flat and matured bacon: we call it also dry meat and it's really special! Before we used to eat it a lot for breakfast: a slice of rigatino, an onion, two slices of bread and a glass of wine. After that one would have gone to the fieldwork happier. 'Till now, early in the morning I go to the vegetable gardens and sometimes I have a nice piece of rigatino, at breakfast.

	Capocollo has many names, but it is always the same: filza, pilza, coppa, lonza and who knows how many other names are used in different places. It is eaten in every season and occasion: nowadays is fashion to eat it as an appetiser and in summertime 'cause it doesn't made you thirsty, like the ham. We say as a motto: take out the thirst by ham to indicate when you make an effort for a purpose and you obtain just the opposite result.

Everyone knows the Palio, the horses' race for the 2 July and the 16 of August in Piazza del Campo in Siena, but only if you are just from Siena, from inside the town you can understand the meaning of the Palio. For people living outside the town, like me, this race is just a beautiful festivity, for the senesi, instead, the Palio is a matter of life and death, or at least of happyness or desperation. These beautiful cups represent the seventeen contradas, and if you give own contrada's cup to a contradaiolo, a person belonging to that contrada, you can offer also poison to him and he will drink it anyway and be sure he will find him delicious!

panforte fichi e noci

This panforte is made with figs and walnuts, which are ingredients very easy to find here, so someone can think it is poorer than panforte made with almonds and candied citrus fruits. But if you try it you will change idea.
