Oh, my!

I'm off to Bologna and Lucca in Italy for four days on Friday. I'll be up to my eyeballs in pizza, Bolognese ragu and the best ice cream in the world. Foodie heaven. I'll send you some photos.

If you’re seeing Bologna for the first time then you won’t be disappointed. I’m fortunate enough to almost call it as my second home (due to work), and ragu is up there on my list of favourite nosh.

Two favourite restaurants for you to look up:
Ristorante Rodrigo (the pricier of the two)
Vicolo Colombina

Cheers, Coops. We've been to Bologna once or twice before, went to the amazing medieval dissection lecture theatre in the University last time (oldest university in Europe). We have a favorite restaurant which we want to visit again, Il Veliero, and we've been recommended another in the centre by friends, Osteria dell'Orsa, a rough and ready studenty place with communal tables and benches, their ragu is supposed to be the dog's bollucks (no jokes, please).

I have grabbed a late dinner from Il Veliero as it’s two mins away from Royal Carlton Hotel.

Will have a look at dell ‘Orsa in November, always happy to take a recommendation. Had a look on Google, looks right up my street, as does the tortellini brodo. Thank you.

If I don’t have much time then I use the one in the photo, and are usually inclined to add a shot of brandy and some whole peppercorns to it. Quick, easy and very good in less than five minutes. Note, there’s a mild version but avoid this as it’s… mild.

On the other hand, if I’ve got the time then this is the go to recipe.

Peppercorn sauce

This simple peppercorn sauce is packed with flavour and is a must-have when serving up steak. Red wine, double cream and stock make a rich, flavoursome condiment

Where will I find it (not a Lidl expert by any means, is it by sachets or jars)?

White Pepper goes on my steak and chips along with a decent dollop of Dijon mustard, washed down with Yellow tails Merlot or Malbec.

Sachets, in the fridge alongside the steak.

Mrs and Eldest like the pepper sauce, I love White pepper, but not fused on pepper sauce, I can take of leave Black pepper, more taste and strength with White pepper, IMO.

Right’o, cheers for that. This explains why I haven’t seen it. Shall report back soon.
