Will someone tell me why this concept hasn’t caught on in the rest of the world?
You walk through a huge selection of well cooked foods, mix and match what you want and pay for the total weight of your choices.
You get exactly what you want, in the quantity you want it and priced to accomodate any portion size.
It’s genius I tell you.
A great cup of coffee is a wonderful thing.
It perks you up in dreary mornings.
It transports you away from the tedium of a working day.
It facilitates the flow of easy conversation between good friends.
It also tastes pretty damn good.
Being the coffee nut that I am, I make it a point to find the best cuppas everywhere I go.
In Rome, I find that cuppa in Sant’ Eustachio il Cafe, a delightfully ancient cafe which has been in operation since the 1930′s.
Despite not being much of an ice cream person, I find myself eating a lot of gelato when I’m in Florence. It would be a lot snappier to use the cliche ‘When in Rome’ if I was actually in Rome but Florence was where I started getting into the entire Italian way of life.
Of course, eating good gelato is just one aspect of swinging the Italian vibe. You also shouldn’t be too concerned about anything, have a fair amount of swagger and generally carry the attitude of a weasel with insomnia.
Have you noticed that everyone and his gastronomically-inclined mum has a food blog? Every other restaurant is being invaded by DSLR’s and the fact that you actually know what DSLR means only demonstrates the large scale perversion of this shutter-bugging. Odds are, you probably even own a food blog, ya swine.
