Last night I attended the second San Lorenzo dinner in London.
This time the focus was on cheese, of which we tasted a very impressive selection, paired with different types of honey and the usual generous quaff of piedmont wine (oh, Barbera, my love! :) but also Nebbiolo, Gavi to end with a sweet Moscato).
So that is much all I’ll say about the food: it’s just awesome and you should try to get the chance to taste it, the sooner the better.
One interesting thing I noticed during the evening, is that the people around the table took on a curious yin-yang configuration: the “anglo-saxons” on one side, with our Italian host Sara in the middle, and the continental/latins on the other end, with a cheerful london foodblogger in the middle. Two separate conversations, two different rythms, the same unifying context and texture.
P.S.: Chris has some very nice pictures of the food, together with a more thorough description of the menu.
Hi Riccardo, always a pleasure to meet you!!!
I enjoyed being in the middle of so many anglosaxons for a change! :-)
Go cheese!!! ;-)
Thanks to Sara for such a fabulous evening, and despite what could have been a fixed anglo divide with the champagne, prosecco etc flowing everyone was bought together , not least as those anchovies in peppers needed passing up and down the table!
great blog! Looking forward to the different ‘rhythums and unifying context and texture’ next time.
