Going Whole Hog in Seattle


Seattle welcomed the IACP convention by truly going Whole Hog!

Pikes Market's mascot Rachel, show's Seattle's passion for Pork.



We began our stay with a sit down lunch and tour of Salumi, Armandino Batali's restaurant and shop.
one of the more Nose to tail dishes, Ear Salad! was fabulous, better than the one I tried from Fergus book, the secret was sauteing, not frying!



Nathan Fong and Don Genova from Vancouver with Armandino.




We got a private tour of the ageing rooms after lunch.


Our presentation on Artisan Pork was well received as we sent off our listener's to hug their butcher's and embrace the pig, Nose to Tail with Fergus Henderson.

Kate's lovely slide show on the silent ceremony of the slaughter was moving, while my market shots brought hunger..and the request for a calender of the Men of the Market.

Stay tuned for updates!
