Just arrived in Tournai..

Looks like Germany is on the cards WESTY66

I've tried lots of French cheeses, some nice, some disgusting and barely edible.
Of them all, I've never found anything I prefer to a nice tangy crumbly Cheshire Cheese

Never had a problem with Italian pizzas though

 

[Lenny HB]

Can't even get a decent pizza in Italy.

Pizza in Italy is the best you can get, & pretty good in France & Spain, in the UK they are Americanised with thick horrible bases.

Great pics again, Tam.

As a matter of interest, what Sat Nav system are you using?

One of the best ever pizzas I had was from a mobile pizza oven in Broadway near CMC site. Lovely thin crust and tasty plentiful filling. Agree Spain good for pizza and I always go for thin crust so you can taste the topping. Worst one was a restaurant in Lake Como shame cos lots of other good things on the menu.

you've nailed it with that comment

I do like Italian food but whenever we eat in a Italian restaurant every fork full tastes exactly the same

As Noel Coward said in the Italian Job, I hope you like spaghetti they eat it 3 times a day in Italian prisons

Noooo nice crispy base but I do like lots of topping, very fattening though.

There's more to Italian cooking than pizza and pasta, although depending on who you believe there are between 300 and 1000 recognisable pasta shapes and between 250 to 400 different sauces but Italian cooking also gave us cioppino, porchetta, osso buco, risotto, frico, cacciatora, minestrone soup, Parma ham, parmigiana and of course gelato and tiramisu so not all bad

 

[Phill D]

Love Italian food and their wines are some of the very best.
They are the biggest wine producers in the world.

I had one of those Chinese satnavs and once it was setup right it's was always good.
Problem was that there were a lot of parameters you could set and some of them seemed to conflict. Do a factory reset then just put in the dimensions.

You're making it wrong

You need to try a better restaurant!

Never made it

It's one of those foods nearly every country makes it better than the one that invented it

We've had fantastic Pizza in Greece for years and cracking pasta something good the Italians left behind and stayed good.
But you right about Greek food it is Fab......

It works fine In most countries but doesn't like France

And it has a problem on south coast of England but think that's the w/e thing

Tam can I ask who you're using for breakdown cover please?

And we are 67th just behind those well known wine producers Mongolia and Thailand.

Yeah but probably quite high on the wine drinkers chart so that kinda makes up for it.

Afternoon naps ...

5th on total Litres but 22nd on consumption per person.

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

I guess living on the south coast and seeing so many vineyards appear in the last decade or 2 I expected us to be a larger producer, but I guess it's not the same all over the country.
