It has been a while since I have posted. Sorry, but I was on a trip to the South of Italy navigating some of the most complex Italian menus. Now imagine a menu with eight times as many pages of wine as food. Then somewhere within the sea of wine pages lurks a food page. Once you get past the overwhelmed feeling, navigating the waters is a bit tricky. First you have to know a thing or two about wine. Slowly, but surely I have been learning. Second you should try and match wine and food. This of course is complicated by the difficulty in translating Italian food dishes. Some of the translations are things like voracious octopus, pork to the irons, penne mad, or fish to the crazy water. Once you have managed to figure out this menu you have to try and remember what you ordered for both primi and secondi. I heavily recommend the stuffed squid.
