And then there's the food

One day the in-laws invited us out to lunch at La Truna, an agriturismo in the mountains. An agriturismo is a family-run farm offering stays or meals, where the emphasis is on local produce, often from the farm itself. There isn't a menu as such and you don't get to choose what you want as they just bring it out. There tend to be lots of courses allowing you to sample a good variety of traditional foods.

It was a lovely day but slightly hazy when we went there.

The food. Simplest if I show you the photos. Bother, they're back to front. Never mind.

Dessert: rich chocolate cake and a sort of bakewell tart.

Cheese course.

Main course: pork and baked apples. 

Pasta course: most people had either tomato or mushroom sauce. I had a bit of both.

Cheese wrapped in ham and baked in paper, see below.

Polenta in a cheese sauce.

Vitello tonnato, veal with a tuna mayonnaise type sauce.

Delicious (rich) food in a lovely location. The restaurant was in what was presumably a converted storage cellar (although not below ground).

The in-laws being served.

After the meal we wandered around the farm meeting pigs and seeing deer - which was lovely until Husband pointed out the pig we had eaten would have been one of these.
