What else needs to be brung?

Ass Paragus.

nothing to my knowledge, except maybe a tolerance for the messy state the lounge room is in. Oh, and some sort of quarantine-style clothing cos I'm sick...

P Ass ta

I'll wear a plastic bag over my head to protect myself from germs.

You need any cold and flu remedies? Honeys and lemon?

with p ass atta

I hate people who say ''p ass ta'', matt. Well, not hate, but for some reason it annoys me. My father always says it, argh!

It's ''p arse ta''.

sorry my m arse ta

That's better.

nah - I have honey and lemon and brandy (and when superboyfriend is around he makes it into yummy anti-cold juice).

I also have mass-produced honey tablets made by some dude called vick.

Right on. Might take this to PM instead of wrecking the prosciutto goodness!

I think you're talking about prosciutto crudo, as in the really salty dried out stuff that costs a lot.

Prosciutto just means ham.

jamon is the shit.
So damn expensive, but a good treat now and then...

My supermarket sells jamon for $80-ish a kilo. Sometimes if I like you I'll ''accidentally'' give you that instead of the $30 Australian-made prosciutto crudo.

Dead pig. Is there anything it can't do?

what you want is the spanish stuff made of black pigs fed on acorns.

only a cuppla hunje a kilo.

''BACON CURES CANCER''
That's the headline we can only dream of, isn't it?

Black hoofed Iberian pigs. Mmmmmm. WHY YOU SO TASTY???

prosciutto is the king, it's a meat that can be both sweet and savoury.

provocative prosciutto!

The thinner it is the better.

like those rich home-made salamis, i just can't really get into the pro.

and i LOVE my pig products.

i am hitting the wall, i need prosciutto to keep on keeping on

pancetta is also gold in pig format.

''Dead pig. Is there anything it can't do?''

no.

in a perfect example of apocryphal irony, etymologists will one day prove that the pork muslims and jews both so rashly eschew will actually be remarkably close to the True Name Of God.

hence the Italian expression 'Porco Dio!'.

QED.

my sister and i like to refer to prosciutto as 'prostituto' and giggle.

hehe i got a chuckle out of that.

we had prosciutto-wrapped backstraps last night and i ate mine early while they were just the right amount of crunchy and bloody... yum

crunchy and bloody? there is 'nothing' crunchy or bloody about prosciutto, or at least there shouldnt be. hahahaha nicko thats great heh very funny indeed. they had a whole program on t.v the other day on how to tell the difference between 'real' proscuitto and proscuitto made out side of italia, it went for HOURS, this salty ham is serious stuff
