Chef E: now that could just be the lead off for a whole ‘nother post, lol

Spudsy is that like ‘blood sausage’ and tators, or ‘vlood bangers and mash’, or ‘vleesy vlators vlagratin’, oh I could go on…

a little heads up I am making the ‘real’ St Paddy’s day parade dish now with some Irish cheese I got hold of, sorry it just did not work out for me!

Okay word verification is ‘gouda’ now how creepy is that Vludsy, oh ha ah ah ah ah ah ah ha! *evil laughing from New Jersey*

Tangled Noodle: Oh you should have been there, would have been delighted to have you help out! And I love the sound of those mangoey heirloom tomatoes – roll on summer…

Katrina: …they didn’t let us throw any pizzas about, we just had to eat them :D As for the tomatoes, everyone likes the idea of a fabulous mediterranean tomato and who, on the marketing side of things, is going to admit to the fact that, really, you can’t necessarily have that all year ’round

hehe, it looks like quite a few of us blogging types have been invited to taste the above-named pizzas;)(I’ve just posted my impressions – the little dolcetti at the end of the meal impressed me a great deal more than all the pizza-throwing activities – I appreciate the concept.)

totally agree about your tomato-bashing comments – Mediterranean these days means red, bright and juicy all year round, never mind the fact that the Mediterrane(a?:) itself is not seeing sun 365 days of the year. talking of neat packaging and commodification of food…

What a feast, but however did you survive? I should have been there to help . . . On occasion, I’ve come across a decent tomato or two at the grocery store in the dead of winter – rare gems indeed. But for the most part, I’ll make use of tinned tomatoes during these snowy months and wait impatiently and expectantly for our homegrown ‘fruits of the vine’. We’ve grown heirlooms that tasted almost like mangoes (well, at least to me).

Speaking of snowy, most of it is melting by way of rainy, dreary weather, so the sight of this minestrone soup is warming!

5 Star Foodie: thanks – it was very comforting indeed :)

Lynda: ooh, yes, a bit of homemade pesto on top would be a lovely way to finish off the minestrone – it’s so nice to be able to experience even a little bit of summer’s bounty when it’s still wintry out

Jenni: Yeah, I didn’t think I’d get too much sympathy on that one! And you are, of course, quite right about Italy and its slow foodiness – something obviously got a little bit lost in translation.

Sophie: I could go for either pizza or minestrone right now myself :)

The pizzas look so tasty & lovely,….mjam mjam mjam!

Your minestron is something that I would like to eat right now,….:.)

Soup sounds DEElightful, DS!

I wish I could say I feel sorry for you about your Italian gorging fest, but I think jealous would be more the word;)

I find it a little odd that they were pushing a dish w/fresh tomatoes, too. Especially because Italy, home of the slow food movement, is all about eating local and seasonally. I’m with you on that one, lady!

The pizzas looked delicious. You take great photos.
I love minestrone soup. It’s definately a winter favourite. I like to finish the soup off with some home-made pesto, made in the summer from our abundant basil and then frozen in ice cube trays.Yum!
