Ed Rooney Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 I find it rare to have an opportunity like that, Bill. And I use 24mm to do a lot of my tabletop pics. I do shoot a lot of alfresco stuff. And snapping away in supermarkets is surprisingly worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Snapping in stores can definitely pay off. This one from Montreal licensed (not for a great sum, though). In Quebec, maple syrup is almost a separate food group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Didn’t take any pictures of the peach cobbler. While it was fresh out of the oven and still bubbling, I filled two bowls and dashed over with them to share with my daughter. She lives about 3 miles from me. I looked, and I already had shots of a previous peach cobbler. So what...I’m lazy today. Maybe just tired. Or....maybe I forgot in my haste to eat it! 😏 Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyrsis Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Sicilian speciality, gelato in a brioche, and yes I did eat all of it! Worthwhile taking a picture as it sold for $153 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Just curious, Mark -- did they do Parmesan on your pasta in Bologna? And did you eat any of their horse meat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you eat any of their horse meat? I'm sure it was offered but I don't think I used any- certainly not for the pic. It was very well flavoured as-is. Horse? No, couldn't stretch to that and it seems pretty rare these days. A friend had some last time we went to Treviso, but only really as a garnish, a few reddish strands. I do recall a "carne di cavallo" stall in Padua market though, but that was back in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) On my street in Rome, in Trastevere (the Via Benedetta), there was a cavallo butcher in 1965. Before we figured out the sign's meaning, we wondered why the beef had so little fat in it. Here's some pasta with nothing on it.

We don't qualify the term. There is an unfortunate modern tendency for some brewers to call perry "pear cider" but it isn't cider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Cider? Then what -- brightly colored, triple-sweet cocktails with umbrellas in the glass? I'll have another pint of your best bitter, please. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
