Since coming back to Sydney from Italy I have been trying to source out so many products like, proper imported mozarella di bufala and nduja. I have finally found it and tomorrow will be having a fantastic meal with all of the above....just how to enjoy the nduja is the question....with pasta or just with some bread. I am thinking the latter and to make an array of different crostini's. <strong><em>Yea! Congratso n your stash! I agree with you on the crostini idea. I think your guests can taste the fire that is nduja a little better this way!</em></strong> .-= Trish´s last blog ..<a href="http://forque.com.au/2009/09/04/brother-baba-budan/" rel="nofollow">Brother Baba Budan</a> =-.

We actually have one in the fridge that was a gift from a friend, but it's too hot even for P...which means I don't have a shot. We much prefer the spreads with eggplant, mushrooms, etc., mixed in with sun-dried tomatoes like the Bomba from Soverato. YUM!   <strong><em>I am so surprised P doesn't eat nduja.
