If someone says to you 'I'll make Panzanella (Tuscan Bread Salad) for dinner tomorrow, is it wrong

[Berni]

that my first instinct is to think 'Oh, well. Best have something decent for lunch, then'? :-(

It's stale bread and vegetables, ffs! That's not a meal.

"better stop off at the quack for a statins prescription"

[devongunner]

to establish the veracity of my opinion. AS for Tuscan food its boring. Spanish and French far superior

[Berni]

I'm not actually sure what a neep is, tbh. Is it some scotch creature?

This is for the final night of our final holiday of 2013, so prepared to push the boat out for something special. Need not be fancy-schmansy michelin fare though. Just *good*. Thank you in advance.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I assume this is satire?

[devongunner]

with that Tapas place near Clapham Common and you will see where I am coming from. I did use the phrase most so agree there are some reasonable dishes but overall it doesn't cut it for me

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Also available in Rome, oddly.

[Snin]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

So I am afraid I shan't take the risk of helping you again.

Karma, that is.

Where the sauce just finely coats the pasta, where you can taste the fresh tomato and basil, where the meat is an accessory not the main event not like the crap you get in restaurants here

bit like Chicken Tikka Masala is from England.

Plus we drink coffees at the wrong times of the day.

And there is no such thing as Pepperoni (the meat) in Italy either.

[Monty91]

:thumbup:

[Berni]

And you're also right about the cappucino thing. Although in my opinion, there's never a right time to drink a coffee covered in milk spunk.

[Snin]

[devongunner]

bit like Chinese food

[Pat Vegas]

I am sure it's just a trick to see if I remember the names of them.

I just say oh whatever you choose.

[Berni]

make out. There is no definitive ragu bolognese.

[Ashberto]

The Italians can make the rules about pasta if they like, but not about bloody coffee. :nono:

I can eat and drink whatever I want providing I exercise it off. If I couch potato it for a couple of months I will put on weight.
