You can’t get swine flu from salami
A few months ago I shot some photos for Boccalone, a delicious cured pork and sausage place in the Ferry Building here in San Francisco. I finally checked out the website and saw that some pictures were up. They want everyone to know they make awesome sandwiches as well as meat products to take home. Tatiana and her crew were so friendly and welcoming, even though I took the place over with all the picture taking. Alas, I am a vegetarian but they made me a wicked grilled cheese on my way out.
I know everyone is concerned about swine flu but it is a misnomer, you can’t get swine flu from eating pork. A recent article in The New York Times, includes some thoughts on how the epidemic might effect the pork industry. My advice fight back by eating a Muffuletta sandwich at Boccalone.
