One of the hottest new restaurants in town is becoming well known for its charcuterie plate. The last time I was there I ended up with the plate in the photo. I loved every bit of it, but my friend was a bit squeamish about the white proscuitto on the left. It looked too fatty and she refused to eat it. Her loss was definitely my gain, and I was able to enjoy all of the porky goodness. What do you think, would you have eaten it?

Prosciutto and Sorpressata mmmm
1Yum, you know I would have fought you to the death for it!
2That looks sooooo good!
3It's delicious.
4No meat for you! I think there would be fork marks in your hand. There certainly would be if my girlfriend were across the table from me rather than you.
5Shoney,
I was thinking nail gun, but a fork works too!
6.....i feel stupid...what the heck is that?
7i know what Prosciutto is, but what is the other stuff in the pic????
i loves me some italian deli meats!! i'd be a vegetarian if not for salami. and bacon.
prosciutto e melone FTW!!!
8Now that's what I'M talkin' 'bout!
9Heck yeah, I would've fought you for it.
10Most definitely!
11Ew, even before I was a vegetarian I wouldn't have eaten it.
12I have a hard time w/ meats as is...I like proscuitto, but have never had it presented in such a way.
13Let's order two!
14chief,
Fork YES!
15Give me a glass of Lambrusco and I'm ready to go! oooh that sounds so good right now
16i love prosciutto. and hey, as long as it tastes good, i'm good. i don't really care how it lookslike
17I usually love charcuterie, I got extra fond of it living in the UK where this amazing Italian deli in Edinburgh tempted me into trying some new things.
I am a bit funny about "meat fat", not for the fat aspect but just the texture, I am one of those that use it for cooking but will cut it off a steak, and like bacon to be crispy, etc. So I guess it would come down to taste/texture for me.
I will eat all your nummy peppercorn salami while I think about it though!
18mmmmm yum!!!
19I SO want to eat that whole thign right now!!!
that is most definitely not prosciutto, but we'd have to fight to death to eat it.
20I'm italian, and I was born in the land of prosciutto and salame, but I've never seen that white thing before: to me, it seems more a kind of pancetta, fatfatfat bacon. I already love it!
i wouldn't be likely to eat off this. granted i'm a veggie, so i woudln't eat it anyway ...but it just doesn't look appetizing to me.
21I'm with ilanac on this. I'm not a veggie but this just looks disgusting. Maybe its because most of these are pork products.
22Coming from a girl who just ate proscuitto e melone for breakfast, the plate looks delish....but that first cut looks kinda ill. Other than that, prepare to fight!
23Heck yes! And I would've gone for that prosciutto first--I would love to have some that fatty!
24i usually love prosciuto, but the slices in this picture dont look all that appetizing to me! i am with your friend here
i would have gobbled everything else though...
25I'm not big into cold cuts...most of them are too fatty and salty for my tastes. I'm more of a cheese platter gal myself.
26I don't eat pork anymore, but when I did I would have eaten this, and at least tried the meat on the left.
27"White prosciutto"- isn't that just lardo?
28Salty, savory, thinly sliced lardo...yum
29*just* lardo?
30JUST?!? bah.
OK, I admit it! I am semi-unrepentant carnivore but that platter might make me think twice...probably right after I finished all those glorious cold cuts off! LOL
31no, im not into the meaty stuff
32This is not "white prosciutto"! This is lard. It's totally different. By the way i will not eat it. I am a vegetarian.
33I'm not a big eater so that really doesn't appeal to me.
34I'd try it. I've never had it so I'd have to see if I liked it. It looks good though.
35Well I don't eat meat so no I wouldn't but even if I did eat meat that would not be included. When I ate meat the only thing I liked was chicken lol
36I would have arm-wrestled you for the pleasure of licking the plank!
37I think it looks gross...I'd probably be all set.
38it's lardo! just fat "baked" I think it's really gross even if the Italians loves it...
39I would have tried it after a couple glasses of wine.
40No, i hate dead meat
41Absolutely he// yes! I can't get enough of those italian meats. Little fresh mozerella, some bread and wine and that's one heck of a meal!
42yes! in fact i had that...it is bar bambino right?
43yes! in fact i had that...it is bar bambino right?
44Swedeybebe took the words right outta my mouth again. I'd die for salami, but that fatty stuff grosses me out totally. I hate any kind of fat, skin, bones except chicarones. Other than that white gunk, I'd order two.
45never...only if my gold was to be obese
46Is that all there was to it? Seems to be missing the contrasting flavors ~ cheese, cocktail onions, artichoke hearts for example.
