Long Lunch Revisited

Back in June, along with our friends Jenny & Kevin and Sue & Noel, we had a Buon Viaggio long lunch ( see post 18 June 2014). We each bought two courses to the lunch, recipes from the countries we were visiting in the coming months.

Now we are all back home and so we got together to talk about our wonderful experiences, and to try some more cooking and wines from our travel destinations. 

Today's meal was more of a tasting table with food from Germany, Spain and Italy.

Crostini with porcini mushroom & white truffle creme, and sangria.

Goulash soup

Battered eggplant with honey

Tortilla de patate with jamon

 Bucatini alla sarde

Torta della Nonna

I was so busy enjoying the Apple Strudel that I forgot to take a photo.

We finished off with coffee and Baci chocolates.

Wines from all three countries - Chianti Classico, Trockenbeerenauslese & 

Osborne Santa Maria Cream Sherry.

After the pre-trip long lunch we all went off with the brief to bring back some interesting dishes for us to share on our return. We fulfilled that brief and what a delicious day we had.
