Question for Franko

[milanbenes]

Hi Franko,

our normal banter aside, I'd like your opinion on something,

can you tell me, in Italy, is barilla a good brand/quality or is it rubbish ?

Thanks,

Milan.

It's not the best but it's fairly good. For me it's one of the best but not everybody agrees with that. It used to be the Roma team sponsor in the 80s so I might also get emotional for that.

No food supplier is nasty in Italy, they wouldn't be able to survive the local market. Sacla' was famous for olives when I was a kid... I still remember the jingle... olive cosi' olive sacla' lalala

However, this italian food is too expensive for you... I suggest you stick to baked beans in the can.

Francko, I'd start charging consultancy fees. It's begining to look like Milan is trying to write a cookery book.

[milanbenes]

there's nothing wrong with good baked beans, cooked with a little butter and ground pepper and fried onions, delivered onto lightly toasted bread with parmesan grated on top

yum

so, Sacla gets the Franko seal of approval - thanks


what about Bertolli, they do very nice pesto's

I've always wondered, in Italy, which is the best Bertolli or Sacla, because, for me the Bertolli pestos are nicer than the Sacla ones, but having said that these small jars of Sacla brusceta tomato sauce are amazing just made a glorious sandwich,

fresh bread containing carrot and sun dried tomatoes

bertolli olive oil margerine on one slice

sacla brusceta tomato sauce on a slice, put a good amount on

grated chedder on the 'buttered slice'

put some ham on

put some rucola on

grind some pepper on

put the two pieces together

and wack them into the breville until the cheese is melting

yum


anyway, back to business,what about Bertolli and which is best Bertolli or Sacla ?

Thanks,

Milan.
