The Stun Ray Trick

Last weekend was pretty miserable in the line of soggy with a side of frigid and would have been perfect to stay at home, tucked in bed with a book, a pot of tea and the usual feline complement.
Alas, this wasn’t to be.
However, if you have to surrender domestic bliss, you have to do it in style and what better excuse for venturing out in the cold and wet than a chance to gape at Proserpina’s thigh followed by culinary delights at my favourite restaurant?
None.
Trust me on this.

The event was organised by Tavole Romane, a previously anonymous food tasting organism I had been following from some time now and which finally showed its face that day. Two faces, in fact, those of Silvia and Gabriele.
The exceptional visit we were invited to join was a guided tour of Galleria Borghese – featuring most heart bracingly the famous thigh of Proserpina – followed by culinary bondage in the guise of a set menu degustation at Metamorfosi.
How could I ever resist such an offer?
You’re right. I didn’t.

So last Saturday, I roped in the Love and my favourite mother in law in tow and offed to Villa Borghese.
Tavole Romane had organised one visit in Italian and one in English and the two groups proceeded to move in en block to the Galleria.

( Now it is really a shame that the Galleria Borghese enforces a strict no photo policy... )

A well spent day and a bunch of well spent us too.
Many thanks to Silvia and Gabriele of Tavole Romane for a great event!
