Can somebody explain what's going on in the Netherlands lately, and why the Dutch farmers seem to have suddenly become French-like in their activism?

More & more white sharks spotted in Canadian waters

Global warming and an increase in seal population due to less hunting, possibly.  I'm seeing lots of reports like these that great white sharks are catched not too far from Nova Scotia.  Maybe it's a net positive, people will go cage diving in Nova Scotia instead of the Bahamas? ;)

I bought a salami from a random store in an Italian village and it's the best fucking thing I have tasted in the world. Every day I see it becoming shorter and shorter and I already dread the day I'll run out. It is *that* good.

Best salami is Hungarian salami. Its inexplicable that Brits only eat Spanish chorizzo which is... adequate at best.

Didn't we discuss at our covid party (languish meet) that Spanish cuisine is vile*? :whistle:

Well, true, German salamis on offer there (also in Sainsburys to a limited extent) are decent enough but still at best on the average level of quality I am accustomed to in Hungary.

Do you keep the label? Or is it homemade stuff?

So, here's the tragedy. I gave half of it to my mom, and that was the half with the label. She's thrown it away  :lol:  :(  - it definitely was locally made, though, don't think it will be found outside the area (this was a village near Reggio Emilia).

But my aunt regularly shops at the place I bought it (she showed it to me). I'll ask her to bring me one next time she comes to Spain.

Ask your aunt to send you a care package with all of the shop's cold cuts variety in the mail.  :lol:
