Turmeric Coward

A weird sidebar on the menu of a pretty lousy Italian chain restaurant in Japan, Saizeria. Turmeric, huh? Just how popular is the "equivalent of cubic zirconium for saffron" in Italian cooking anyway? I reckon they must have had paella on the menu or something. The best paella I ever had was in San Sebastian, at a seedy tapas bar where the barmaid ignored us and had an uncommonly hairy back. The worst fried sausage and peppers I ever had was at Saizeria. I want to know how they can so expertly fuck up a dish that even Tony Soprano can make. Posted by J@keitai at January 14, 2004 12:50 PM | TrackBack
