This is meat. These packages are made from the pigs at TLC (Tastes Like Chicken) Ranch.
There is also sauerkraut. Made by Justin Severino...all of this meat comes from the pigs, but Justin does his magic with them. (He wears the silliest pointy hat.)
Sweet Italian sausage, breakfast sausage with maple and ginger and molasses, lamb chorizo, beer sausage, and a little of the salami that he's been aging for the past six months.
It's all going to Michael Ruhlman in Napa. He can give it to whomever he likes, and I hope that includes Thomas Keller.
And here are some of the newest members of the pig clan out at the ranch. They look like "Babe: A Pig in the City" if Cyndi Lauper was the make-up artist.
And now to get packed: road trip to the north! I'm going to a farm dinner with Olde English Babydoll Southdown sheep, cashmere goats, Araucana chickens, and Maremma dogs—the kind they have at TLC Ranch.
