Right now, having just partaken of a plate of spaghetti, I am drinking a bottle of Chianti Superiore 2005 from the region of Poggio al Cassone. I am somewhat relieved that it isn't from the Poggio Al Capone which might have called its pedigree into question.

I just made a a damn fine plate of pasta myself. I think the Chianti helped.Originally Posted by Brian Bean

I am eating a side salad, which is enough for me, and drinking a 2007 bottle of French red wine from Corbieres. Bottled at the Chateau de Caraguilhes, the wine is organic and therefore doesn't contain sulphur as would normally be the case. The Chateau dates from 1525 and originally formed part of a Cistercian Abbey.

I have just eaten some Thai noodles with tofu as my main meal of the day
and am now drinking a bottle of French red wine bottled by Pasquiers and dated 2008. The grapes are Grenache Noir from the Pays D'OC region. I am also eating a packet of Salt and Vinegar French fries but they will be complimented with a packet of Cheese and Onion crisps and a packet of Roasted and Salted Cashew nuts.

Tea...
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
I am at this moment eating a mixture of roasted cashew nuts and Japanese Rice Crackers to go with the bottle of Chianti that started out as accompaniment to spaghetti on toast topped with melted cheese. The label on the bottle reads: Le Selci, Chianti, Vendemmia 2006 Italia.
The legend at the bottom of the label reads: NON DISPEDERE IL VETRO NELL'AMBIENTE. As if I would.
And to think I once described this thread as trivia.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
Good to see you are not one to be ruled by his prejudices, Brian!

Potato dumplings.
Just came back from an amazing 5 course tasting menu that included a beet salad, pork belly, halibut with caviar sauce, cod and a decadent chocolate granache and sweet potato sorbet paired with a Monte Fariesi white wine.
Can't eat this way all the time but you have to splurge once every five years or so. One of those meals you'll remember for a long time to come.
