delicious pearoast.

A few friends and I will be going on a culinary tour/city-break to Bologna, Parma, and Modena. Anyone know of any gems in those locations?

oh wow...keep us posted...

I was in Bologna/Modena/Parma last year :) but didn't eat in Parma

Bologna: Alpappagallo &

All Osteria Bottega

& Restaurant Diana & La Sorbetteria Castiglione

Modena: Osteria Francesscana & Ristorante Zelmira & La Bicicletta - Caffè & Salumi & Gelateria K2

La Sorbetteria Castiglione - is the best Ice Cream ever

And Osteria Francesscana was bloody awesome

As creepy and voyeuristic as it sounds, I have noticed that you and I have similar tastes in a few things across several threads on here. You're the Meermin fan, right? Many thanks for the recommendations...

Yeah that's me. No worries you can watch from behind the two-way mirror anytime you like.

Theres also Osteria Francesscana's other restaurant in Modena which is really good and cheap.

The market in Modena is really worth a visit, one of the nicest I've been to, wake up early and grab some brilliant grub

My favourite way to pass the time..

Will try Francesscana's sister restaurant and report back. Is the Modena market a similar vibe to La Boqueria? In the sense of having food spots amongst market stalls, rather than the throng of mouth breathers that make it so busy.

It's much nicer vibe than La Boqueria, Modena seems a pretty affluent/chilled area. Theres a few cake shops but don't remember any cafes or anything - they have mozzarella balls the size of melons but pillowy soft.

The sister restaurant have a buffet which is seriously good - all you can eat

One thing I miss right now from Colombia, is the exquiste food. especially Cazuela de Mariscos a seafood stew with Lobster from Cartagena.

problems posting pics, i'll try later

did a nice pork in cider stew last week along the lines of this recipe

i have the other half of the pork shoulder fried off with inion on the stove .... what does anyone suggest for the rest of the ingredients

a nice stew would be perfect but any other ideas ?

I've heard your wife likes pork in cider.

Sorry - I can't help doing that joke. Sorry of your wife is dead or a Muslim.

Has anybody tried Smokin Aces BBQ on Chapel Market? Excellent food. I had the Boss Hog for lunch. Pork shoulder, belly and cheek with coleslaw and pickles. Easy to feel ripped off with street food in London but this was a lot of meat for £4.50. He's a bit tucked out of the way but worth going to find.

chadders, it's his mum, not his wife, get it right...

Short rib, rubbed with mustard powder, paprik and sumac, roasted for 12 hours over red wine and chipotle.

With truffle mash, cavolo nero and fennel seeds, and a sauce from the red wine reduced with chocolate.
