Marcel had warned me: if you go back to work with us, you must prepare the Lampredotto. I step back and explain the background.
Two years ago I told Marcel (the head of the study ed) the existence of a typical dish of Florence, called Lampredotto, who had aroused his curiosity rare example of Dutch lover of good food, and ' pushed to do more to get the cow's stomach. Now, as in Holland cow entrails are thrown away, to buy a copy of that stomach, more precisely fourth, you need to convince a farmer to save one during slaughter, and especially if you explain what the hell he wants to do.
promises must be kept, and here he told me that Marcel on my arrival in Holland have found a breeder stock, and that soon we will make a dinner of Lampredotto. Come the first cold (Executioner), Marcel this week let me know that on Friday we would go to the farm to collect the precious organ vaccine, so a good hour yesterday afternoon, under a beautiful snowfall we went to the farm in question, armed with all Good intentions need. I must say the trip gave me the chance to see a piece of Holland that I still had not been able to appreciate or family farmers rests on a Friday night clinging to bottles of Heineken bottles as infants. During our visit we had the right to re-explain reason for such interest in a cow's stomach, with arguments in my opinion not very understood, as evidenced by the farmer's face on the brink of embarrassment when we said "we'll try it sooner or later. " I bet the bike as he said, was thinking to himself "but that would eat the shit that troiaio, then says that Italians cook well ...".
Alas, the answer to our request of the farmer was unfortunately negative because, as we wanted to illustrate in detail, for retrieve the fourth stomach must be skilled enough to catch the fly while the innards of the cow falls into a special hole in the exhaust. During the explanation I thank God that he was fasting.
fact is that he has promised to put it aside for next week, forcing us to postpone the famous dinner. Stay tuned.
