To Linda's today for a north-south lunch in more ways than one. First of all the company: Linda from the south of England, her family from the south of Italy, friends from Modena in the north of Italy [a town in which I spent a happy time in the 1980s] and me from South Wales.
Chiara is always thinking up pretty antipasto ideas and today's creation was so simple yet so elegant:
Then we had good old roast beef with Yorkshire puddings,
salad afterwards in the Italian way
and apple crumble!
There was nothing British about the conversation - all about regional food - or the length of the lunch, though. I left there replete at 5.30 pm.

MMMmmm....Looks like a nice mix! What's in that English pudding, though?
It all looks so lovely :-)
Sounds delicious Welshcakes
I wonder what the roast beef and Yorkshire puds taste like in Sicily. And do the Italians like them?
Hi, Peter. Apples,butter, flour, maybe a little oatmeal. A good mix! It was, Cherie and Jams. Hi, Ellee. Yes, Italians like them, though they find the tradition of roasting the whole joint strange.
Yum, an attractive delicious lunch and running into dinner almost, except this is Italy and southern Italy as well, so dinner would be more like 11pm.
