So far as I'm concerned, that is its best use!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806660109196835114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-78763432010618575572012-11-19T10:13:15.920-05:002012-11-19T10:13:15.920-05:00What can I say?

You are f...What can I say? Move to greener Spars? <br /><br />You are fun: Italian regional meals via Australian recipes with ingredients that are so exotic, you'd have to live in Vienna to be able to procure them all within walking distance. Oopsie, what did I just say???<br /><br />Seriously, would it be too much to expect that an Australian celebrity chef would explain to his Australian disciples that the cavolo a cavolo nero is? Food snobism, Mr. Granger?<br /><br />Anyhow, having some sort of Italian roots, I know what orecchiette are (I have even seen not so young anymore signoras sitting in the shadow of their Trulli houses in Alberobello and forming tiny balls of semolina dura pasta into little ears, with their thumbs). And living near a "little Spar that can", I know they carry orecchiette straight from Italy (Spar is an Austrian, family-owned grocery chain, that also has grocery stores in bella Italia, called Despar down south). As to cavolo nero, you can probably find it within walking distance of your apartment, either at Naschmarkt, the new Merkur Deluxe at Hoher Markt or Billa Corso at Neuer Markt.<br /><br />Bon appetit,<br />MerisiMerisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-6063782011931040372012-11-19T09:39:43.946-05:002012-11-19T09:39:43.946-05:00I have been doing some Oriental soups lately and e...I have been doing some Oriental soups lately and eXploring Vietnamese cuisine at their restaurants.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.com
