Cote a la’ Caramel
At Townsend pork is a mainstay, and the kitchen is stocked with many types of hams, bacon, and sausages. Most of the pig not utilized by the cooks for charcuterie is saved and eaten whole on the BBQ in the summer. This particular dish is found in the farms annual Guy Fawkes celebration.
