Strutto Siciliano

I know this seems completely uninteresting, but I learned a new [Sicilian](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_language) word today, and it’s a good one: ***saìmi***. It means lard, which in Italian is *strutto*, or *sugna*.

Most of the Italian I’ve spoken over the years has been with Sicilian people, and sometimes we’ve spoken Sicilian, and sometimes Italian with a lot of Sicilian vocabulary, idioms and accent. I never had the occasion, however, to say lard, but now I can.
