DURING MY VARIOUS STAYS AROUND THE GLOBE I HAD TO ADAPT MYSELF TO THE LOCAL CUISINE, HERE ARE A FEW DISHES, DRINKS OR SNACKS I GOT ADDICTED TO.
ITALY
POCKET COFFEE IS ONE OF FERRERO’S – THE FAMOUS ITALIAN CONFECTIONERY MAKER – LATEST PRODUCTS; IT LOOKS LIKE A CHOCOLATE PRALINE FROM THE OUTSIDE….
BUT THE SURPRISE AS USUAL LIES ON THE INSIDE => IT IS FILLED WITH LIQUID EXPRESSO, HOW DELIGHTFUL !
RHUM & PEAR IS A GREAT COMBINATION OF TWO SHOTS. IF YOU FEEL INVINCIBLE TONIGH MAY I SUGGEST A METER, IT’S CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN AS THEY SAY. SO BOTTOMS UP GUYS. 1, 2, 3 GOOOOO!
THE CROSTATA IS AN ITALIAN JAM PIE, I REMEMBER MY OLD LANDLADY WOULD MAKE ONE APRICOT CROSTATA FOR ME ONCE IN A WHILE. GOOD OLD DAYS!
YOU THOUGH ITALIAN PEOPLE OFTEN EAT SPAGHETTI ALLA BOLOGNESE, WELL YOU WERE WRONG MY FRIEND! ACTUALLY THE TRADITIONAL DISH FROM BOLOGNA IS PREPARED WITH TAGLIATELLE, PASS IT ON!
WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOUR RISOTTO IS AL DENTE, SHAVE THE TRUFFLE OVER, ADD OIL, CHEESE, CHIVES, BUTER AND CREAM. ADD SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE. SERVE IMMEDIATELY.
