This was their 2nd week at this Farmer's Market. I bought a package of the crepinettes. WOW! They are set up on the south side of the market, near Roli Roti. Philip Mon Jul 18 17:53:59 -0700 2005 0 Philip 1 177569 YES !!! You are correct sir. Run or walk or do whatever you need to do and go get yourself some Crepinettes. They're a wonderful pork or duck sausage with very cool ingredients. Sometimes figs, toasted nuts, olives ... toasted onions even! They're in patty form wrapped in caul fat, a webbing. This webbing encases the sausage patty and when grilled or pan fried bastes the little darlings. They're like little meat clouds, I can't get enough of them. I love crepinettes. Do a search over at Meathenge and you'll surely come up with plenty of photographs featuring these little dudes.

I've tried virtually everything Fatted Calf dudes trucked to Berkeley market and crepinettes were the best from the entire menu. I wasn't crazy about their 'softer' sausage - names escape me but anything that has a consistency of mortadella/bologna and is white, I would try last.

The Crepinettes and the special roasts are tops with me. Taylor did a Niman pork loin (bone in) Porchetta style maybe 3 weeks ago, daaaaang it was good. I smoked it for 3 hours with mesquite and hickory. I attempted several times to duplicate his application of spices, nope. I couldn't get close.
