Killing a Pig
Longaniza, morcilla and chorizo -sausage, black pudding and salami-these are the results of two days of long, hard work by a kitchen full of helping hands, mostly female. The first day is dedicated to the making of tortetas, a type of heavily spiced blood pancake and black pudding, and the second day to the sausage making. My impression on seeing this line up is of the small fortune it would cost to buy all this from a shop. In contrast buying an entire pig, if you're local and have the culinary know how, is relatively good value as long as you are prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into some hard work. My mouth waters at the thought of these tasty home made salamis and hams.
