A local sausage producer cuts home-made 'kulen', a spicy pork sausage covered in mould, are hung out to dry at a smoke-room on a farm in Kutjevo, eastern Croatia February 6, 2006. Say Croatia and most people will think of glorious unspoiled beaches. Some might remember the bloody independence war of the 1990s. Few will think: "Ah, the sausages!"But the country does boast great sausages, cheeses and wines, some found nowhere else in the world. Its Agriculture Ministry wants to register and protect them before enterprising producers abroad hear about them and try to copy them. Picture taken February 6, 2006.
