Meats – Processed

Chorizo

• A Spanish air-cured sausage.
• Usually made from coarsely ground pork and seasoned with garlic and chilli’s.

Lap Cheung – Chinese Sausage

• Come in many varieties.

Pancetta

• Usually cut from the belly of the pork.

Prosciutto

• Adds a layer of salty bacon to dishes.
