Pancetta works a treat in the old boll. Another nice twist is to roast the garlic and onions prior to cooking and cut them coarse as fuck. Also nice to use a nice amount of oregano along with fresh basil. Most Bolognese, imao, doesn't contain enough oregano, although too much will completely kill the dish. Chilli as well. Oh and have 2 or 3 meats. Nice.  I learned the other day what the biggest and most obvious reason is for Spaghetti Bolognese clearly not being an Italian dish. Did you know it's because an Italian rarely eats meat with Spaghetti, because Spaghetti is shit for holding the meat. Italians will often only eat a Bolognese style sauce with Fusili, Penne or another pasta capable of holding the sauce. Wasn't that the best thing you've ever heard?  |

Yeah I saw a programme about someone going to Bologna to find out what a traditional bolognese consisted of. It was quite a boring programme, but I did learn they don't use minced meat and they serve it with tagliatelle.

Last time I was in France, I brought back a bad ass string of smoked garlic...something like this. [url width=136 height=169]http://www.frenchflavour.co.uk/jams%20and%20marmalades/smoked%20garlic%2010%20heads.jpg[/url] It's the dogs bollocks alright....it lasts for a good while...and hung in the kitchen, keeps vampires at bay. I was a bit downcast when I used the last of it, you can get it here, but requires a bit of effort and is pricey. |

That is superb. Everything is better 'smoked' isn't it? |

That garlicis the bollocks. They sell it at the French market they have in town. Roast that and eat it on it's own, it's well nice... The women don't like you much afterwards though. |

Michael...
If you mean in the (looks for old doobie smilie...it's not there is it) sense, then, yes.
If you mean in the purely culinery sense, then, no.
Maybe your inverted commas suggests, some things listed as "smoked" probably are just injected with flavours...such as bacon, haddock and some kippers.
Proper smoked kippers from somewhere like Craster are ace...was up there camping, a while back....whack them on the barbie...magic.
Of course the kippers aren't caught by local fishermen anymore but imported from Norway, but the smoking bit is proper.
