If you can make it to Cochon 555 in New York on January 23rd, you ought to be able to try Mangalitsa in various forms.
Mosefund will have a pig in the fight. Bill Telepan - a chef of Magyar origin - will be preparing it. I hope he wins one for the team - although, Mangalitsa fans know Mangalitsa tastes the best anyway, regardless of what the judges and crowds think.*
My distributor, DeBragga and Spitler will be there. I suspect that George Faison himself will be there, sampling out Mangalitsa ham from Johnston County Hams. They will also have lardo (and hopefully pancetta and guanciale) from Salumeria Biellese.
* I've gotten used to Mangalitsa producers losing Cochon 555. The event isn't a meat-science experiment. To some extent it is a popularity contest; the guy with the most friends in the room has a big edge over the other competitors.
