Shaggy ink cap. A type of fungus which is edible when young. The cap overhangs so that, rather than the more common round cap, the shaggy ink cap has an elongated ovoid shape. It has shaggy scales which, when young, are white but which become darker with age. As it ages it becomes quite unpleasant to eat and eventually dissolves into a puddle of black liquid, giving it its English name.
Pork salami from Umbria made with finely ground lean pork and chunks of pork fat with garlic, smoked and aged for up to five months.

A dish from Rome of the offal (US: organ meat) of a lamb, including the intestines, lungs and lights and heart, braised in white wine with artichokes.
