MAKE A MOCK MATCH

Hungarian sausage and Olive Oil complement each other as much as Prince Charles and nipple clamps. Sure, it might happen, but it would just look really distasteful! Just like Hungarian Sausage and Olive Oil.

Prince Charles is a fiend for the nipple clamps. Who isn't, really.

Seriously, I have a friend who moved here from Budapest when he was 5 years old. His parents stayed in Hungary, but his Uncle's family (with whom he lived here in the US) are old school Hungarian. I haven't seen him in a few years, but he was good in the kitchen and used to cook me Hungarian sausage with different pastas; always used Extra Virgin Olive Oil and various spices.

I though it was a delicious mix, but I probably don't have a sophisticated pallet. If it smells good and tastes right, I'm pretty easily satisfied.

Boerewors. A huge South African fresh sausage with quite a bit of Cloves as seasoning. You chuck it on the BBQ or Brai, as they call it in SA, and again, awesome for the morning after.

This one sounds great. This would make perfect Mock party-in-the-desert fare, I think.

Did you ever try real Spanish Ham? Jamon Iberico? One that mentions Bellota (Acorns) and Pata Negra? Forget about Sausages, a slice of that, and you'll cream your panties!

I did have ham in Spain; not sure if I ever tried Bellota or Pata Negra types. I really enjoyed the pork dishes that I had there. I did not cream my panties, but I'm not surprised that you did. You tramp!

P.s. I'm a big paella fan too; actually prefer mixed rice dishes to pasta dishes. But, gotta say that I've had a couple of really bad paella dishes before (not in Spain though). I think it's easy to get them wrong, but when they're just right...
