Pork Aspic

eat, salty, season, winter, music, OST

Food Notes

Local shops are sometimes like Ali Baba’s magic cave, hiding delightful treasures of the Greek gastronomy, and I feel there like Aladdin! Let me show you another exciting discovery! Aspic/meat jelly (pikhti in Greek), made with pork head meat, carrots, peas, garlic, and spice.

Music Pairing

Alan Menken, Suite from “Aladdin”.

Music Bites

Alan Menken (born in 1949) is one of the greatest film composers of our era and the second most prolific Oscar winner in the music categories. He has written extremely successful soundtracks for numerous Walt Disney animated films (“The Little Mermaid”, “The Beauty and the Beast”, “Aladdin” etc.). His achievements are quite impressive: eight Academy Awards, eleven Grammy Awards, seven Golden Globe Awards, and a Tony Award!
