For the November Charcutepalooza I attempted the Noix de Jambon, and despite an error in technique, it was delicious. I also made Pork Belly Lardo, tasty as well.

Chicken Galantine and Duck Roulade were such great temptations, I made both. Aside from the duck, most of the ingredients were local, including the morels. Although time-consuming, I would do it again for both the flavor and unique presentation.

Excited about a new Charcutepalooza challenge, I made a Pâté en Croute: pork pâté surrounding a lightly seared wild boar loin, wrapped in pastry, and baked. It became my failure. Wanting success, I turned to an English Pork Pie, and it worked.
