Try this; goose breast, pine nuts, sultanas, onion, home made mayonnaise and some other secret stuff. In a panino. With a couple of glasses of wine. You have entered the magical world of Mr Schiavoni, the greatest panino maker alive. He has a daily selection of amazing fillings, and is a living Modenese legend and institution. Come to Modena and try it. Today he was handing around some wild strawberries with his balsmic vinegar drizzled over them. That may sound odd, but the balsamic vinegar is so sweet and thick that it compliments the fragolini perfectly. I had ice cream with balsamic vinegar once. It takes some getting used to, but is good all the same. Oh, and we're kidnapping Signore Schiavoni soon. Either that or Caterina is going to propose to him.

I'm off to Bordeaux in a couple of days, so I'll try and keep this all going, but it might get more irregular. On the 4th April Beautiful Lunar Landscape will be playing on the local radio, and then on the 8th we've got the semi final of the "tremplin". So there's a lot of work to be done when I get there, and please all keep your fingers crossed for us.
