Re: The Comfort Zone. Favourite food, drinks, where to buy, and recipes.

I like most of the Vitasnella range - in fact they do fig like biccies too, which I'd forgotten, but with orange or prune!! They are very tasty though! They are a good brand alternative to the...

There is another brand of Fig biscuits available here....I think they are in the Pennymarket if you have one down there? Also for a Garabaldi like biscuit try Vitasnella crackers (their name!) with...

I can remember friends cooking us a risotto getting on for 17 or more years ago now, their parents had very kindly brought them some risotto rice back from a trip over here. None of us had had...

Re: The Comfort Zone. Favourite food, drinks, where to buy, and recipes.

Must admit I don't make risotto with it, I just prefer it to other long grain rice. Do you prefer it with long to short grain then?? You could also look out for Japanese rice which is closer to...

Re: The Comfort Zone. Favourite food, drinks, where to buy, and recipes.

Re: The Comfort Zone. Favourite food, drinks, where to buy, and recipes.

If you go to their main website you can do a search by store for the different offers - it's how I knew what to look for when I got there! Even within Florence the offers can vary from store to store...

Re: The Comfort Zone. Favourite food, drinks, where to buy, and recipes.

Nope, no Esselunga down south I'm afraid! Mainly Tuscany and Lombardy with a few in other Northern areas.

They are doing a bogof at the moment, I got two packets of Jordans on it! You can also get...

Re: The Comfort Zone. Favourite food, drinks, where to buy, and recipes.

Try some different brands of unsalted crackers here, a few are similar - mulino and pavesi are probably the best bets for unsalted.

I have to say, considering the alleged North/South split in Italy where politics are concerned I find this all topsy-turvy!! Surely there should be nothing like this North of Florence but available...
