Radio 4 is currently broadcasting a whole programme about Cacio E Pepe
Ciao fellow fraus! Long-time grunker, first-time poster, and what a grunk it’s been. I’ll admit I had to skip a few threads to keep up, but GOOD LORD.
I used to be an absent minded follower of our delicate little urchin, but over the past year noticed more and more inconsistencies in the pov-cosplay. I confess though, it’s was the massacre of some dishes close to my heart that finally lead to my deliverance, specifically the slopabomination presented as Cacio e Pepe.
Fraus, I was fortunate enough to visit family in Italy this summer, and thought it would be amusing to show some of the villages nonnas this crime against the cucina.
To say it backfired would be putting it mildly; I think my passport may now be marked. 3 older ladies burst out laughing thinking it was a joke, until I explained this was from the professional kitchen of the Saviour of the Poors. One of these venerable women choked on her drink, while the other 2 crossed themselves and immediately sought out the local priest, such was their distress.
