It's a cannellono. I'm surprised none of the foodie pedants have picked you up on that.Dunckel wrote: ↑4 years agoHere's the page where I posted yesterdays grub, at least over there they appreciate the food and won't make commrnts about slate service.

Re: Posh Nosh
How did I manage to make it to this stage of middle class life without even having heard of pink salt cooking? I feel I'm missing out on an essential experience.The Real Ravenhurst wrote: ↑4 years agoYour mini-tartare has reminded me have one of those pink salt slabs, and every time I see it in the kitchen I consider starting a thread about Your Most Useless Middle-Class Kitchen Purchase.

Re: Posh Nosh
That was my reaction, too. I sadly feel it is time to hand over my middle class badge.
You can keep yours, because you know the singular of cannelloni. Interesting, I never heard an Italian complain about "I'm off to Lygon Street to get a gelati".

We investigated but decided that the stupid price was too stupid. We do have a slow cooker, which is simply a more versatile sous vide.The Real Ravenhurst wrote: ↑4 years agoYou'll be telling us next that you're not set up for sous-vide chez W.

That's it! Hand over you middle class badge!
That's not the correct excuse, the correct excuse is that you are too concerned about environmental plastics to choose a method of cooking that requires single use plastic.
I google "middle class badge". Do you think this what it would look like?

We came to the same conclusion when we considered getting a sous vide cooker. We also have a pressure cooker which is excellent as well.

Re: Posh Nosh
So The Real Ravenshurst hyphenates sous vide, Regulator italicises it, but Iris does neither. What does that reveal about middle classness?

Re: Posh Nosh
TRR should not have hyphenated it, because it wasn't an adjective, and now feels crushed. Iris is so middle class he doesn't need to prove it? Or something like that...

Mixed cured meat plus a crostino of radicchio and cheese plus squacquerone (very soft very young cream cheese) with gnocchi fritti (fried dough) and piadine (a rich flatbread leavened with baking powder)
Strozzapreti with light sausage, tomato and fried aubergine
Steak, grilled and served with rocket, flakes of parmesan and balsamic
Crema catalana (sic) with nougat and raspberry
Two spritzes - one Aperol, one Campari
A bottle of Romagnola Sangiovese
Two bottles of water
Coffees and amari
Served in between a 6th century church with a 16th century facade, its baptistry (still with Arian heresy mosaic decoration) and the wall of its bishop's palace.
All for €101 for two.
And if you ask me very nicely I'll tell you some of the other highlights, foodie and otherwise.

Solo in Italiano.
Though frankly it could have been any restaurant in the last fortnight - the food has been excellent. Pizzas are a bit stodgy, and ironically the mortadella in its home of Bologna was the least interesting.
Ferrara had probably the standout dish - a steamed pumpkin pudding dressed with a parmesan cream and balsamic in the style of a dessert dressed with creme anglaise and chocolate sauce. At home a clever chef would have served it twice on a menu at over a tenner a pop. We got it (once) for about a fiver.
