Boccalone's Tasty Salted Pig Parts


Salame Pepato and Orange Fennel Salame

Possibly our number one addiction, and a large part of the reason that our quality of life will drastically decrease if we ever have the misfortune of moving away from San Francisco. Boccalone is located in the Ferry Building, and thus visiting it offers added pleasure of stopping the nearby Llama Lady's stand in order to lavish  pets on the overpriced and ineffably soft collection of stuffed animals. Whether sliced thin and layered neatly on brown paper, in a sandwich form with a juniper soda, or packed into one decadent sausage, the salame is briny, fragrant, and dotted with creamy fat -- an unhealth-conscious carnivore's dream. One day we will work up the courage to try one of lard-infused salted caramels that sit in a jar next to the cash register. And cough up the money for a fluffy mini llama figurine.
