[Italian]

“Ragamuffin.” As the name suggests this is a type of rustic salame, from Basilicata, made from pork offcuts, including head and entrails, highly seasoned with garlic and chilli and shredded fennel. The meat is cut with a knife rather than minced. It may be served either grilled or poached with vegetables and served on slices of toast. This salame is now quite sought-after.
