Funnily enough I inhabit a UK pipe smokers forum...great bunch of guys, from a lorry driver to an Edinburgh based Professor of medicine. There's a ''what are you quaffing'' thread where the professor and quantity surveyor battle it out and 'brag' about their choice of wine. I take the piss by posting about my daily supping of BB vino tinto..199 peos for a Magnum sized bottle!! I admit to loving it. 👍

One thing I noticed was, their choice of wine, if red, is usually always French. However the other day the quantity surveyor was having this Malbec. I'd never heard of it.

Nice label , I suspect its an export only job.

Who wouldn’t appreciate a handmade pizza for dinner?!

Yummy! LOVE raclette. Lucky you!

Don't believe I've ever experienced such a thing.

Ooh, it is wonderful. Melted gruyère on potatoes. Pickles on the side. Sizzling meats.

A great evening, sitting around and leisurely munching slow food.

I remember my sister back in the 60/70's had a fascination for making fondue. Put me off it for years to be honest.

Different from fondue, which is a soupy mixture of melted cheeses thinned with wine, into which chunks of bread are dunked.

Indeed.

The cheese they do here on the parrilla to me is also disgusting. I do't like that stringy rubbery cheese.

Quote from Splinter

Provoleta? Love the stuff.

Yeah that's it....it might be the overpowering taste of the herbs that it comes with.

I agree with Splinter that provoleta is delicious. Even better with ham and tomato. I always wish they were more generous with the herbs, though.

Just not my thing....I want the beef!!

I love the provolones done on the Parilla , on its own, or with the added bits n pieces as described by Rice .

I also love the dishes that allow you to serve you the provolone in individual portions - That you have to dig out of the dish with a small cocktail stick

Yes! The provolera! Our very good friends in BsAs gave us one, which we use very often. (Thank you Carlos and Ambra!)
