RIP Antonio Carluccio

[Insidious Von]

The man who started it all has passed away, Nigella Lawson is wearing black.

Chef Antonio Carluccio arrived in London in the early 70's and slowly went about changing people's attitude towards food. He was most recently seen in the BBC food show Two Greedy Italians. He was 80.

unlike Robert Irvine who only claimed to have cooked for the Queen, Don Chef Carluccio did so many times. He cooked perhaps the simplest dish for her, agli/olio.

In Rome they do this with dried whole red pepper, olive oil and garlic. No water.

Von ( Il Gambero )

Are you day dreaming of bygone days when you were a busboy at Luigi's restaurant when you could sniff the empty Ardbeg bottles when you take away the dishes and have all the bread sticks you wanted?

BTW - Concetta, the busty waitress that worked at Luigi's. You know, the one that gave you a hard on under your apron. ..........................She is now an old lady wearing black clothes all the time with saggy tits and a mustache.

Correct, you need some pasta water or else the oil will congeal and turn the dish into a gloppy mess. Romans don't use cheese either, they will put a few anchovy fillets into the oil as it heats up. Once they are melted then you add the garlic.

Take Out Cat, never worked for Luigi's but I did work for Mister Tony's Pizza before it became Ital Pizza. And only the first generation Concettas wear black and pluck their upper lip hairs.
