Yes, it's March already ... and it's really quite a month for various reasons, but February is over "at large", the farewell to the carnival and the beginning Lent. Too trivial as an excuse for a mega eaten meat, right ????... Ok, I admit: it's an excuse! Last weekend we went in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the home of good wine (sopprattutto white) and also the generous portions. I have always naively thought that huge portions could be found mostly in the country kitchen or the south, well, the restaurant on Sunday was in the north-east, was typical local cuisine and the portions were from ... murder!
We started with an appetizer, in the sense that it was a number, a mixed cold cuts with pickles and cheese, but big enough to divide it in 9!
The arrival of the "first" has sapped all: sweet herbs, crepes with mushrooms, meat ravioli, all in industrial quantities, and then came the "second" all-heavy side dishes: my mother-in-law ordered a little knot of calf and when it arrived we all burst out laughing: 700 grams of meat! .. And if he had ordered a cost?? Would have resulted in 2 kg of meat?? Of course all the dishes were the same proportions, exaggerated. I ordered the ribs, Angello, then you know how small and tasty, but do not know that I brought them tasty and huge! ... In other words: water, wine, coffee and a couple of desserts and the bill was € 25 a head! The restaurant is called "Osteria by Bepi Meo" in San Canzian d'Isonzo (GO) and if you are in the area really recommend it!
