Yesterday I was at the street market in my Ortigia and I ate a wonderful caponata When it was served at my table that marvellous vision reminded me the description given by Andea Camilleri in one of the episodes of his popular Inspector: " The moment he opened the refrigerator, he saw it. Caponata! Fragrant, colourful, abundant, it filled an entire soup dish, enough for at least four people. It had been months since Adelina, his housekeeper, last made it for him. The bread, in its plastic bag, was fresh, bought this morning. The notes of the triumphal march of Aida came spontaneously, naturally, to his lips. Humming, he opened the French windows after turning the light one the veranda. Yes, it was a cool night, but still warm enough to eat outside. He set the little table, brought the dish, the wine, and the bread outside, and sat down " (Excursion to Tindari, Andrea Camilleri) There were three Dutch tourists reading carefully the menu close to me
Thanks for the update, Lucia. For a minute I couldn't tell which of those 3 bald guys was Montalbano. I hope they put those new ones on DVD with English subtitles soon! Because I finished all his old ones, I had to resort to watching THE YOUNG MONTALBANO. Not at all the same thing!!! (: Ciao and let me know if you get out my way.
RispondiEliminaciao jann
RispondiEliminahai ragione.....but I had eyes only for HIm so I could easily recognise Zingaretti in the picture...
Didn't you like the YOUNG MONTALBANO? it was quite good I think..but using more Sicilian dialect than the older!
Un abbraccio
