I am literally chewing on a big-ass slab of raw meat right now.
For my Xmas present my brother bought me a 2.5 pound slab of prosciutto for me to gnaw on. At Molinari’s they called in the veteran butchers to estimate how much 2 pounds was, because you can’t mess something like that up. Since you usually slice it with a machine, the butt-ends are harder to sell. 2 pound is like a brick-sized block of raw meat. Part of the deal was I had to have photos of me gnawing on the thing, so I took care of that right away… When prosciutto is uncut, the sinews are so chewy you can chew on them forever. I’m been spitting them out… Diane says I can use this to rationalize that it is better for me, because I am eating less fat! What am I going to do with this? At least it won’t spoil!One thought on “Raw Meat!”

Yo! a SLAB?!
We brought back a kg of _sliced_ prosciutto di parma from Italy — but it was…sliced.
I wonder if you can go to a butcher and ask a butcher to slice your prosciutto slab? I’m sure if you are going to buy some meat anyway, he might indulge?
A slab’s mighty difficult to eat.
