My guy calls Piemontese farmers ‘Italian rednecks’. And he should know, he’s half Piemontese.
They’re the kind of rednecks who drink Barolo and Barbaresco with their bollito. Right after they’ve killed the wild boar, and yes, it is fresh and just delicious.
And they make the most delightful version of Salade Niçoise And I should know, I’ve enjoyed luncheon with Italian rednecks in Piemonte.
