The Spotted Trotter http://thespottedtrotter.com A Boutique Charcuterie in Atlanta Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:20:32 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Menu for the Week of February 20, 2012 http://thespottedtrotter.com/menu/menu-for-the-week-of-february-20-2012/ http://thespottedtrotter.com/menu/menu-for-the-week-of-february-20-2012/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:20:32 +0000 Chef Ouzts http://thespottedtrotter.com/?p=584 So, we find ourselves without anything catchy to talk about this week, so instead, we thought we’d take the opportunity to tell you what we’ve been working on and what’s been going into the curing cave:  culatello, wet-cured bresaola, hot coppa, dry-cured lomo, kimchi salami, and saucisson a l’ail.  Additionally, the head cheese we were unable to make last week is on the menu this week as promised, along with a new fresh sausage (Boudin Blanc) and a brand new crepinette (Burgundy Beef with Cippolini Onions and Hedgehog Mushrooms)!   Stay hungry!

Additionally, the Red “GET SOME” Pig T-Shirts are back in stock.  Red?  Get Some?  Valentine’s Day?  No thanks necessary for planning your special outfit or making the perfect gift for the big day….
