Lunch in the mountains, 1200 meters of goodness! [Ita/Eng]

in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

During my holidays I did so many small trips around, a very nice place close to where I live is the abetone, literally the big spruce, you can imagine why. A mountain town famous for its ski slopes, cool weather and mountain huts where to drink and enjoy delicacies.


During this visit I dined at a lovely shelter named: Ciustè. I have enjoyed a Tuscan appetizer, with cold cuts, hams, cheeses, honey and local rolls, round and soft. Then I ate another typical dish, polenta! A simple dish made of corn flour, water, salt. It is flavored usually meat of boar or deer or cheeses, gorgonzola and pecorino, like the one I took. I finished the lunch with a cranberry grappa, typical product of the area, a good 1200 meters trip!



Durante le mie ferie ho fatto tanti piccoli viaggi nei dintorni, un posto molto bello vicino a dove vivo è l' abetone, letteralmente il grande abete, potete immaginare perchè. Una città in montagna celebre per le sue piste da sci, il clima fresco e i suoi rifugi di montagna dove bere e mangiare prelibatezze. 

Durante questa visita ho pranzato ad un grazioso rifugio di nome : Ciustè. Ho gustato un antipasto toscano, con salumi, prosciutti, formaggi, miele e dei panini tipici del luogo, tondi e morbidi. Poi ho mangiato un altro piatto tipico, la polenta! Un piatto semplice fatto di farina di mais, acqua, sale. Condita da carne di solito di cinghiale o cervo o da formaggi , gorgonzola e pecorino, come quella che ho preso io. Ho terminato il pranzo con una grappa al mirtillo, prodotto tipico della zona, una verà bontà a 1200 metri!

Oh that Polenta makes my mouth water :)
I hardly eat any meat but like what you said with cheeses and gorgonzola that could taste yummy :)
Later today I will look into Polenta since I have never made it.
I bet there will be lots of recipes on the net just got to find a cheese one :)
Being a Dutchie I LOVE cheese :)

I hope there are not to many calories in Polenta haha

Have a great day !

Yes you must try it, it not so difficoult to made and if you cook it with a tasty cheese it's better, i like also polenta without anything but it is less tasty than with cheese or meat! =)
