Italian Tablecloth Phtos

A guide for us foodies

I foodies are of particular persons. You excited for good food, are enhanced in a flat photograph, they are happy when they find a place where good food, travel miles and are to try and find a local product or someone like them who share their same passions.

So are a bit like the fans of a football team, for their colors are willing to do anything.

and guidance that is was presented yesterday at the City of Taste of the Red Lobster seems tailor made just for them, the lovers "not superficial" good food and drink.

It 's a guide if you want unusual, built on the basis of the "straight" authoritative foodblogger , as well as by the relevant working group of the Gambero Rosso.

The guide not only addresses of restaurants, but also the description of places where you buy street food quality, bakeries, pubs, shops typical of food, as well as to cut pizza, sandwich bars, meeting rooms appetizer (good ones and not just fashion, etc.).

Finally

addresses of places are tasty, sometimes a price content that contrasts with the high quality of food offered. It 's what I try when I find intriguing premises, where you can eat well without recourse to large restaurants and best-known names.

I feel as though this is a guide " talent scout" to local unpublished, which express in various ways culinary excellence. Without this mean that in this guide there are no local already famous and widely known.

In the preface of the guide states that the "foodie-type" is men, aged between 25 and 54 years and single (or which is headed by couples without children). Now that I consider myself a foodie that has the features you've read above, it is also perfectly in the profile of gender, age and marital status of the perfect food lover ... Better than that ...

read an interesting guide, I realize that in greedy addresses listed there are some that I discovered only modestly, as the excellent sandwiches 'Ino Florence ol'enoteca Grapes and shape, not far from my office. But

also known that there are places in Rome reported that still do not know that already and I can not wait to experiment, even with its foodblogger of which were present at the launch of the guide ( Stefano, Daniela , Sandra Fooders and, in addition to efficient girls team of the Red Lobster).

A place that I would soon see, for example, is the Boulangerie St. Bartholomew's, which description intrigues me a lot.
.

Last but not least, the buffet offered at the presentation. Of course the food was definitely up to the task. I've tasted the inventions of the genius who brought Moreno Cedroni the main specialties of his local Anika (particularly fantastic Tapas of 'sausage fish "and" Simmenthal fish "in the photo above).

The tapas fish Moreno signed Cedroni

I also tasted the fried foods and ancient (and mythical) focacceria San Francisco (including bread c'a meuza) and an excellent raw and cooked meat of cattle breed Limousine.

How to give up the street food of Ancient Focacceria San Francesco?

Although I arrived late and I could not taste the sweets of Corrado Assenza (Caffè Sicilia, Noto), I must say that the event was really nice and I urge all you to consult this guide to help you and (of course) will guide you in your culinary and Gastronaut raids throughout the boot.

36, Quai des Orfèvres

Image taken from the site http://store.corriere.it

"From the window could see an arm of the Seine, the Place Saint-Michel, a barge-washing, all in a shadow blue , dotted part by the lights of the gas lamps that were lit " (from" Peter the Latvian "by George Simenon)

In the novels of Georges Simenon in which the protagonist is the police's Inspector Maigret based on the number 36, Quai des Orfèvres, on the Seine, Ile de la Cité in Paris.

It 's the place where they work Maigret and his team and the commissioner's office has a nice river view, a mythical cast iron stove, a port pipe and a bottle of cognac is always ready for special occasions or delicate interrogation.

In the waiting room of the office of the Commissioner, as stated in many novels, alternate characters more different "from old friends, the poor devils, by police informers, to any person who, for various reasons, ask for an interview. "

During the long hours devoted to conducting interrogations Maigret in these places, usually a boy's Brasserie Dauphine Port Commissioner's office a tray of beer (probably Simenon loved ones Belgium) and sandwiches.

La Brasserie is a restaurant in Dauphine Place Dauphine, just behind the Quai des Orfèvres. It is cited in many stories and it appears from the first novel ( Peter the Latvian ). This is usually the Commissioner brasserie meals or snacks, alone or accompanied by some labs.

The restaurant is actually a place that does not exist in that area because there is a Brasserie Dauphine. However, nearby is the Café Restaurant Aux Trois Marches , where Simenon often went.

today then I propose a simple recipe for a sandwich (in addition to ham and cheese) that the delicious tasting Commissioner (sandwiches among other things mentioned and described in the book "Trap Maigret").

Sandwich Commissioner Maigret:

Ingredients:

2 slices of sliced \u200b\u200bbread

a chicken leg

melted butter

Dijon mustard (Maille possibly )

Mix butter and mustard and spread the mixture on a slice of bread. Chicken fillet with care previously passed in the butter (in a pan) and place on slice of bread. Perform the same operations on the slice. Combine the two slices left for 10 minutes before tasting. A truly original sandwich for the Italians with a taste of the chicken well balanced with the stronger flavor of mustard. I think this sandwich goes well with a nice ice cold lager.
