That caffè doppio

Notice the Italian croissant cornetto

Venetian Dreaming
We are in an Italianate coffee bar,
so we might as well have some snack cicheti:
Bacaeà Mantecà (Venetian for creamed stockfish)
on warm toast not only looks good,
it also tastes delicious here!
Bon appetito! :-)


Bacaeà Mantecà
(Bacalà Mantecato in Italian)
"creamed dried cod.
The bacalà is soaked in water, boiled,
and then vigorously pounded or beaten with olive oil
added drop by drop until the mixture becomes very soft,
almost whipped and foamy;
it also contains garlic, pepper and parsley"

Quoted from Sally Spector's beautifully illustrated
"Venice & Food"
Arsenale Editrice, 1998
ISBN 88 7743 173 3

Thus reinvigorated,
I went back to
shop for the week's
vegetables and fruits
at the farmers' market!
Flowers, too.
