I've been thinking that we must live in a period of history with record high literacy and banal correspondence the likes of which historians would salivate over for any other period of time before the widespread adoption of public education. We also have the ability to purposefully maintain these messages. Are there efforts to do so since focusing record keeping became more prevalent and trustworthy in the 90s and early 2000s? Can you donate your phone and it's message contents to some digital preservation society specifically for this purpose?
I potentially have an opportunity to start an in-house charcuterie program at one of my favorite brewpubs. I have a lot of experience in curing meats and fermenting in general, but I want to really expand my knowledge of the craft from both an artisan and scientific standpoint.
What are your favorite charcuterie books/blogs/etc? I've already got Ruhlman's book and On Food and Cooking by McGee, though the latter doesn't touch on the subject as much as I would like and the former seems to be controversial.
I truly value any insight you might be able to provide.
