I had the most incredible meal last week in Tucson...a place called Torino's in Oro Valley...at the bottom of the menu was an entree..called Stinco Basciolle (not sure of the second word)...but in essence...it was a roasted pork shank in an almost hunter sauce..with tons of mushrooms...ok..definitely not Road food...but it was wonderful...presentation was cool...served in a shallow bowl with the shank standing vertically...tons of meat left to gnaw on next day...for me...and the bone for the dog....I had no idea what to expect when I ordered it...did it purely on the name...still has me laughing...my folks too...gotta love the stinc....
