Last meal in Italy (this trip)

Asti, June 5, 2010—

WE WANTED TYPICALLY Piemontese food for our last meal before heading for Paris, so at midday we stopped in Asti, with Dominique and Chuck, for lunch. Bagna cauda on the menu! True, it's the wrong season: but then it wasn't a main course, only an appetizer, served as a sauce over red and yellow pepperoni. Delicious. Afterward, agnelotti — the Piemontese equivalent of ravioli, with a Bolognese-type filling; and afterward the classic Piemontese bonet, a sort of chocolate-hazelnut pudding-cake, with very nice whipped cream on the side.
