Just got back from Italy, with 5 day wine tour in Tuscany and Umbria regions in Apennine Mountains. Was surprised that the main meat item at restaurants was Wild Boar Meat. It was served on pasta, as steaks, chops, sausage, and burgers. The wineries said their main pest was the wild boar. Had not realized that this meat item was so prevalent outside of the US.

Europe has retained more support for traditonal regional food production, where low volume production of ingredients by local farmers is consumed locally to a much greater extent than USA. The trade off is generally higher costs but the regional variation is astounding.
As such there is no such thing as a uniform "Italian" or "French" food in the way that non-locals perceive it because even foods with the same name are produced significantly differently in the different regions, which is why a lot of foodies like travelling around Italy or France, sampling the variety.
I think Puglia might be the latest trendy region in Italy. McDonalads opened a restaurant in one town but had to close after a year or so because the locals wouldn't eat there!

Between the Americans that don't believe a good American girl would dope and use all sorts of mental gymnastics to explain away her positive test to those who straight up justify doping ("but the Africans do it so she has to too") you just know she's gonna get a lot of donations. It's actually a bit off-putting that this website is even promoting her GoFundMe.

I will be sending at least $50 to her GoFundMe in December!
I just tweeted her my full support, and urged people to support her!
Call me a fool if you will, but remember---
The fool on the hill sees the sun going down , and the eyes in his head sees the world spinning round!

Well, that is a potential interpretation, but I will leave it up to those on the board who make such decisions. Frankly, I see it as noteworthy, and will leave it up to anyone who wants to to support or ignore it. Pretty simple decision, honestly.
