best meal of the summer

living in italy for three months has allowed me to eat some fantastic food. the best meal i ate here, well actually in my whole life (no exaggeration here), was this past friday.

for apertivo (aka warm-up):
margarita pizza, to which i added boscorelli (cured beef)

primi:
eggplant parmesan - though the eggplant was grilled, and it was served out of a deep pan in which there were 4+ layers of deliciousness.

secondi:
porco cotto - but this was nothing like an cooked pork i have ever ever ever had. it was baked in oil/ butter, rosemary, sage, and garlic. i swear this was the best meat i have ever tasted. this cooked pork laughs at bacon, and cries for the way my grandmother cooks her disgusting holiday ham. americans have fucked up pork. seriously.

dolci:
panne cotto topped with carmel and another with mixed berries. blew my mind.

add in the fact we were drinking some incredible brew, and that i was in great company... unbeatable.
