How much food can Italians eat - 100g of smoked salmon each + mayonnaise dressed salad as a starter
My inlaws are from an Italian family, near Rome. My BIL´s father would invite us for lunch, many years ago.
Antipasto. Soup. Salad. Pasta. Fish course. Meat course. Sweet.
Wéd be eating for 3 hours.
And then Dino would walk out with chocolates and grappa.
And to answer your question - plenty!

Re: I hate to mention Christmas, but?
It was a rhetorical question - I’ve been to Italy several times, and in Sicily in particular I was regularly served 5 course, each of which was of the size I’d serve as one of 2 courses in England, each enough for a light lunch
But I really don’t think I could force down 100g of smoked salmon as a starter, it’s so rich.

I do think it’s a bit of an overload , I love smoked salmon but like you said Sue , it’s very rich and think loses its appeal if you eat too much of it

My personal dilemma, is it too early to download Elf Bowling?

Re: I hate to mention Christmas, but?
What a load of oinkers!
I could maybe eat 100g smoked salmon as the main protein in a meal but the point was that Locatelli served it, with mayo, as a starter to duck and 3 other courses

Re: I hate to mention Christmas, but?
I´m with Sue here. I´m no oinker
25-30 gms is probably more than enough as a starter; it´s a deliciously oily fish, but if you´ve got 2 or 3 or even 4 courses to follow...

Bottled my Bullace & Blackberry Gin yesterday, discarded the Bullace but mixed the Gin infused Blackberry's with Apples to make a pie. should be interesting.

Christmas may be postponed. Long delays on imports at the docks. Especially Felixstowe.

Mind you the port have employed Failing Grayling as an advisor, so things will probably improve. He might know a man who can rent him a new port. It will probably be somewhere like Stafford!!

Re: I hate to mention Christmas, but?
For some reason that reminds me of the episode of 'The Good Life' where everything for Margot's Christmas depended on the Harrods van turning up in time - and it didn't. Perhaps we'll be making crackers from newspaper and loo roll ends, drinking rhubarb plonk and having a jolly good time anyway .

Re: I hate to mention Christmas, but?
Blimey, talk about excessive food handling! As a guest, I'd be happy with a photo of that charcuterie chalet.
Going to the other extreme, here are 50 vegan appetizers to browse through. It's a pain having to open almost all sites to get details and then zooming down for the ingredients/recipe bit Some good ideas though:

Re: I hate to mention Christmas, but?
Some of those look really good - I very much like the idea of cauliflower florets treated like chicken wings
Even if not vegan, it’s handy to have a dairy free repertoire, and you don’t always want meat before a main such as a roast
