Its time to make a real fennel and orange stuffed porchetta, cure some bacon, make wild boar, porcini and negru de dragasani sausages and a really good pate full of red wine…which we seem to have plenty of! The only bad news is that we must wait until Sunday to eat our charcuterie!

Some pate we made earlier, some soup and our special “Placinta Dobrogeana” with lots of cheese and greens…but not so much there isn’t room for dinner
