So you go to the market (which we did in Venice,
because we had an apartment with a great kitchen)
and buy fresh fish (I ask them to fillet it)
|
or chicken (I ask them to take the head off --!!) |
and maybe zucchini blossoms (fabulous fried in a light batter, then sprinkled with just a tiny bit of sugar). |
Wash it all down with Prosecco and follow
it up with fresh fruit—perfection!
Wise choice, doing without the head. Wise choice.
ReplyDeleteuselaine -- LOL! A visit to an Italian butcher is almost enough to turn you into a vegetarian on the spot. The meat is just so . . . recognizable. (I do believe that's Little Bunny FooFoo there next to the chickens.)
ReplyDeleteI've never had zucchini blossoms before. I will have to try it the next time I see it on the menu.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are a foodie's dream.
Hungarian butchers gleefully put whole pig's heads out for sale. And people buy them. To eat.
ReplyDeleteNote to self: Stay out of Hungarian butcher shops!
