*happy sigh* Another lunch in Milan

Fabulous. Two hours to eat, but fabulous.

* Fresh bread
* Pickled onions (really, trust me, you have no idea how good these are!)
* Dried ham, like a prosccutto (sp?)
* Genoa salami
* Lardo - basically a very fatty shaved ham
* Fresh olives
* Bruschetta with sliced tomato and fresh basil
* Bruschetta with melted cheese
* Pastry with melted cheese and shaved ham
* Meatballs
* Hand-made tortellini with spinach and cheese, drizzled with olive oil and cheese
* Small hand-made spinach pasta in a cream-tomato-basil sauce
* Pork, gnocchi, and beans in a butter-tomato sauce
* Chestnut ice cream with hot chocolate sauce
* Tiny vanilla merangues (sp?)

It's almost six thirty, and none of us are hungry yet.....
