Parma
... cheese on top- wow! The pasta was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing! The filling was delicious and packed full of flavour. We really enjoyed this dish and were feeling quite full at this point but we still had our main course to come! We decided to get the guinea fowl baked in clay which was the dish we saw cooked on Masterchef. They marinate the guinea fowl and then wrap it in baking paper and cover it in clay from the river bed on their property and ...

So I also did not know that this dinner would be a proper 3-course dinner with the whole family. There were only ten total in our ...
Parma, qui dit fromage et jambon, dit bonne ville?
... en plus il n'y a pas de quoi s'occuper à Parme à part la bouffe.
19h30, heure de l'apéro (qui ne prend pas d'apéro en Italie se voue à mourir de faim avant le dîner qui est aux environs de 21h). Une fois apéro terminée, je me suis baladé pour un nouveau repas du soir... la mort... une bouteille de vin rouge de la région... du jambon de parme et un risotto au fromage de parme...
