Wine & Swine: Take a culinary journey around the world with contrasting spices and classic cuisines using just one pig.

Salt Kitchen & Tasting Bar is offering a “bilingual,” four-course menu with wine pairings for its September Wine & Swine dinner on Sept. 25.

You will taste the contrast between France and Italy, starting with a platter of “fromage de tete,” or head cheese, along with rillette, prosciutto and soppresata.

Next, taste a bit of Japan and Mexico with Takoyaki (grilled octopus), trotter (pig’s foot) and pork cheek huaraches, followed by a third course juxtaposing Spain and South America with lengua estofado (braised tongue) in an almond-tomato romesco.

The fourth course pairs the U.S. and Germany with good, old corn dogs and a smoked tater salad, along with bratwurst and sauerkraut.

Dessert is cold brewed coffee and Irish whiskey with bacon and swiss-swine truffles.

Wines to be announced.

Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. at Salt, 3605 Waialae Ave. Cost is $65. Reservations required at 744-7567.
