It's usually eaten as a small course between your antipasti and your main and it's a tiny amount and entirely optional. It's only us daft cunts that pile it up on a plate and eat it as the whole meal. I'm sure you're right. What's your favourite Italian dish?

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Googled antipasti and a typical example is cured meats, olives and cheese. Basically not even a dish, just a shit throw in. I'm sure if they did cook them though they'd through the 70s spice rack at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19750 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Arrabiata (for your spice needs) Ribollita Arrancini Caprese Panzanella Caponata Rissotto Puttanesca Pizza etc etc Italian cuisine is one of the greatest. Basil, olive oil, garlic, some of the finest cheeses, breads and desserts. Not to mention their coffee and red wine. What’s not to like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13991 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Anything with veal is grand by me too. A decent saltimbocca, ossobuco with gremolata, bring it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shit value for what it delivers. Starchy and tasteless Fair to say if I'd seen you moaning about the price of pasta I'd have been less inclined to take your "miserly Scots" dig on the chin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) I didn't till I googled that list. You can probably make the lot with one basket of the same ingredients.
