Ohna came home on Saturday B-))

She had been enjoying some rather fine food in Milan and brought some of it back with her, including a huge wedge of top quality parmeggiano and a bottle of Amarone which was absolutely delicious (for connoisseurs it was a 1999 Villa Borghetti). Apparently, this was the wine which complemented Hannibal Lecter's meal of census taker with fava beans. I remembered it as being a 'fine chianti' but apparently it was a 'big amarone'. Maybe the book is different from the film, or maybe I'm remembering the French and Saunders version rather than Anthony Hopkins. Anyway, it was very good, even if we didn't have any fava beans or anything.
