Actually, I would say the opposite, it should be quite firm and you'd need a knife to cut it.<br /><br />I will tell you where in London to get the REAL thing. 17 years in the UK and it's the only one is worth really spending money for (trust me, I come from Campania)Pasta Biteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033201496923113765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-28067201090136497102010-09-13T16:26:09.514+00:002010-09-13T16:26:09.514+00:00I tried this on your recommendation and have to sa...I tried this on your recommendation and have to say thanks - just as described this was excellent food at very reasonable prices. I spent the difference on wine and did very well with some Kerner (an old friend from the days when the Greyhound on Battersea High St was worth visiting) and an excellent Brunello di Montalcino, which was heavenly even at £55.<br />Worth considering is that they won't take tips so wine is 12.5% less than anywhere else. They also took great care of it, decanting into very good decanters without being asked to. Would definitely go back.<br />Thanks<br />AlexAlex Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-34999751309340666572010-08-19T12:11:29.748+00:002010-08-19T12:11:29.748+00:00Bang on - a little bit of price creep since openin...Bang on - a little bit of price creep since opening, but still on the cheap side of yummy.
