We're headed to Turin this weekend, well a long weekend - Thursday - Monday!- for the bi-annual Slow Food Fest, as I like to call it, otherwise known as the Salone del Gusto. We went four years ago and it was absolutely amazing . Imagine a huge trade show with groumet products as a theme. There are small artisanal food producers from all over Europe, with an obvious focus on Italy, and a huge "enoteca" with great wines from all over the world. You can also participate in all kinds of seminars and taste workshops, but since I didn't sign up in time, we're just going to stock up on some delicious food products. Last time the Italians were all laughing at us as we walked out loaded with all sorts of bags and boxes of goodies. I guess for them these things are more readily available, so they found it amusing that we bought so much!
I'll tell you all about it when we get back! Ciao ragazzi!
