TIME'S UP

Ciausculo (as I hinted yesterday) is a pork dish garnished with watercress and cherries. Never had either but the second sounds ok. Seems like the best idea would be for you and me to PM each other when we have a Quiz question.
Many thanks boys

Well Trotters, you have definately won the stab in the dark prize! Your baked pasta dish is only a partial answer. It is a lasagne of about 12 pasta layers with a very rich filling containing loads of giblets. It was first baked for an Austrian General Wincis Grezzi (or something similar) and became a favourite for him. At local festas it is usually far more simple and less offaly.Ciausculo or ciauscolo or ciabuscolo is nothing to do with cherries! It is a fresh pork sausage the size of a salami but not dried as much so it remains soft and pink. It is eaten raw. There is also a liver (fegato) version which is very rich and dark. The best examples can be found in a tiny shop at Stazione Monte San Martino on the road from Amandola to Servigliano. So Mr C, my dosh'll be in the pot tomorrow.Over and out
