A Last Supper I Can Get Behind
In this week's Eat for Victory in the Village Voice, Jonathan Gold outlines in mouthwatering detail his last meal, which features a whole prosciutto roasted and rubbed with spices at Hostaria Costachiara in Tuscany.
It has me thinking about hopping the next cheap flight to Florence, which probably won't be until September.
Here's the whole menu:
Antipasti: Roasted eggplants, beautiful peppers, zucchini, little fish in pesto, fresh pecorino, cured anchovies
Slices of the whole roasted prosciutto ($6 surcharge)
Homemade pappardelle with wild boar
Fiorentina-style steaks, grilled in a fireplace, bloody inside and charred on the outside.
Torta della nonna, custard-filled tart with pine nuts.
