word of the day: tonnato

The word of the day is tonnato:

a sauce made from tuna traditionally served with cold sliced veal (epicurious.com)
"Days with Fernald, a friend of hers told me, start with bacon and end in chicken liver.  Her idea of road food is a ziplock full of leftover tonnato made with raw farm eggs and Belcampo top round: a second-tier cut, because the financial model and the corporate ethos depend on using every last bit, and a cow is not made up of filet mignon."
