      Though Italian is the official language, my friend tells me it is much more common to hear German spoken in casual conversation. Similarly, the cuisine is much more influenced by German cuisine than Italian. My suspicion is that the sausage in question is seasoned much more in the German style than Cajun. I used to teach a university course in culture and gastronomy and I have to tell you that the list of ingredients you call the Cajun Trinity is by no means unique. You can find the same (cont'd

      Thanks Sam, I figured the cuisines would be a lot different. The Jota I made has Armenian roots. I've noticed the Trinity in one form or another is used in most cuisines and is usually fresh veggies that are sauteed. I found it interesting that in Friuli they preserve it like a dried sausage and I want to try to make it. I think between the video and adapted recipes from the region that I can get the proportions right although I'm sure every family's was different so it doesn't matter too much.

          Thanks, Stuey! Guess I'll have to throw a few gamberetti on the barbie for you! Funny thing about this place is that almost all the fish and seafood are frozen before being sold at retail. It ruins the texture bo a lot of the product. Fortunately, we live only an hour and a half from the sea, we can usually find a fisherman with a fresh catch. It's such a shame because much of the Mediterranean is very clean and theseafood is incredible. You haven't lived until you've steamed clams in seawater.

          Thanks Skip! I love fishing in Minnesota! I just smoked a beautiful trout I caught here two days ago. Dry brined it and cold smoked it with applewood.

          Thanks Soonerpop! Isn't it dangerous to be "Sooner" anything in Texas? You're a brave man!

          cohenkin I am for a fact. It’s amazing, but there are Texans everywhere down here. I guess I’m lucky that I’m such a nice guy, raconteur, teller-of-tales, soldier-of-fortune, and all-around good guy so I can stay one step ahead of ‘em.

        Welcome....from Long Island here. My wife and I spent a few nights in Bra on our honeymoon a few years ago. Loved the area and can't wait to go back. Aspiring to have your retirement!

          Hi Pobeque! We spent our first weekend after moving here in Bra. In the middle of September every two years, they have a huge festival devoted to cheeses from all over the world. At the 2019 festival, the gold medal winner was a cheese from the Rogue Valley in Oregon. Sadly, due to the pandemic, this year's festival has been cancelled. Retirement here is great. You'll love it!

          That sounds like fun....we were there late October - early November and were able to attend the truffle festival in Alba. Had so many good meals/wines those few days....

        #30
        There is nowhere like Alba from mid=October to New Year in terms of cuisine. If you are VERY fortunate and you live here, you might even have some friends who are restauranteurs who will hook you up with truffles for home use. If you are very, VERY lucky, you may even make a friend who owns truffle dogs who will give you a call when he comes home from the hunt with truffles that were in the ground an hour or two before. Pure unoptanium unless you are here.
