Mortadella and the Pescatarian Diet
Mortadella is a large Italian sausage or luncheon meat made of finely hashed or ground pork, which includes at least 15% small cubes of pork fat, primarily the hard fat from the neck of the pig. It is seasoned with spices such as black pepper and myrtle berries, and sometimes contains pistachios. Originating from Bologna, Italy, mortadella has a rich, mild, and slightly spicy flavor. It is a staple in Italian cuisine and is often used in sandwiches, antipasto platters, and as a pizza topping.
