Interesting and enthusiastic write up ! However, having lived in Istria for the last eight years I would comment on quote The same was true of veal piccata bedecked with sensual oyster mushrooms and a load of white-corn kernels, with slim slices of speck (the Austrian version of prosciutto, common to Italy’s northeast border, e.g., Trieste, and the formerly Italian territory of Istria). unquote Speck is definitely not the same as prosciutto, known locally here as prsut. Prosciutto and prsut are lean and from the hindquarters. Speck is more fatty and from the flank. Istria was only occupied by Italy for twenty years between the two world wars, as spoils for the victors, Italy having fought on the allied side in WWI and Istria having been previously part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It had never been part of Mazzini's modern Italy, although it had been part of the Venetian Empire before 1797. HTH Peter— September 24, 2009 5:36 a.m.
