A typical Tuscany dinner, a photo from Livorno, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

As promised, today I show you a typical dinner with the specialties of Tuscan cuisine.
-Appetizer of local cold cuts and cheeses with croutons with liver cream
-Tagliatelle with butter and truffle
-Wild boar with polenta
-Cantucci (Tuscany's biscuits) and Holy Wine.
Obviously there are also many fish specialties, such as the Livorno soup called "cacciucco", but I preferred to stick with the dishes that are offered in the hinterland, home of vineyards and olive trees.

Come promesso, oggi vi mostro una tipica cena con le specialità della cucina toscana.
-Antipasto di salumi e formaggi locali con crostini con crema di fegatini
-Tagliatelle al burro e tartufo
-Cinghiale con polenta
-Cantucci e Vino Santo.
Ovviamente ci sono anche tante specialità di pesce, come la zuppa livornese chiamata "cacciucco", ma ho preferito restare coi piatti che vengono offerti nell'entroterra patria di vigne e ulivi.

Ciao Luciano,

Peccato che l'Italia sia così lontana, altrimenti sarei lì il prossimo fine settimana a provare queste delizie che mi fanno venire l'acquolina in bocca (hehe ..). E io, che già amavo la Toscana per i paesaggi e la bella musica di Andrea Bocelli, ora sono attratto da questa cucina vistosa.

Congratulazioni

Ricardo

Ciao Luciano, collage molto appetitoso.la Toscana è zeppa di opere d'arte e di buone trattorie due ottimi motivi per visitarla, cui si aggiunge un terzo che a te non interessa ma a me molto, la presenza di grandi vini. Dettagli e inquadrature perfetti per far venire l'acquolina in bocca, grazie, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hello Luciano,
I would more than gladly eat all of this, except that by the time I had finished the wild boar with polenta I would say no thank you to the suggestion of cantucci and sweet wine. ;-) But everything looks delicious and I am sure it was, just like the photos are very nicely taken.
Best regards,
Gert

Luciano, excellent collage giving a glimpse of some specialities made with the local produce of Tuscany. I would try the wild boar but all dishes look yummy. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

emka (152102) 2020-10-20 3:31

Hello Luciano, Is Tuscany kitchen very different of what you offer in Cuggiono? I remember delicious pancetta and the pecorino cheese. What I see here doesn't look especially inviting. Antipasti yes, but liver cream? Polenta? I would have tagliatelle with truffle.
Nice collage

Best regards Malgo

Hello Luciano,

Excellent four pictures, all with food, but I am no specialist if cook.
Also structural and composition make your picture nice to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Ciao Luciano,
I prefer Naples then with the Pizza as their specialty :)
Great series of photos. They certainly look very interesting and colorful.
I am usually very careful with tasting local cuisine as it may cause some stomach problems and disturb the sightseeing...
Very well presented!

Ciao Luciano,

You're making me hungry again! I know from experience that Italy has some of the best food in Europe. Good sharpness and soft lighting in all 4. Tfs!

ktanska (40035) 2020-10-20 9:28

luciano

everything looks nice and interesting to eat for me. I usually am afraid to ask for such meals abroad because I don't have an idea what they are and some kind of food I don't like to eat. ---here image and description looks very nice for me. should be a nice food.

take care

PaulVDV (54777) 2020-10-20 9:32

Hello Luciano,
A beautiful collage of four pictures in which the dishes come across as very appetizing in shape, colour and ingredients.
In Italy I've always eaten very well. So no reason for me to worry about the local cuisine in Tuscany.
Excellent presentation!
Best regards, Paul

Royaldevon (75284) 2020-10-20 10:12

Ha! Ha! Luciano, I scrutinised these plates of food carefully, remembering some of the tasty meals that we enjoyed in Italy and was so inspired ... I immediately set off to make our evening meal! (Not such a variety, sadly, but consisting of chicken and tomatoes and mushrooms and garlic, ... shall I go on!!!)

Pictures of food have that effect and this is a fine montage of different, Italian food courses. It's just missing the wine!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

worldcitizen (14266) 2020-10-20 11:53

Ciao Luciano,
Mi piace molto il cibo italiano. Out of these choices, I would prefer the pasta, with a nice dessert afterwards. :-) This is a nice and mouthwatering group of photos. Take care!

Hello Luciani,

Its almost 1 am, I still have to work on an article, and you made me hungry. As a punishment I crack a joke on making me a hungry Hungarian! By the way, when I some day can visit your country again, is it possible to have these dishes in your bar? :)

Best Wishes,
Gy.

PiotrF (52330) 2020-10-20 16:34

ikeharel (105841) 2020-10-21 1:52

Added the missing "g', Luciano, Grazie.
I see this picture before lunch - and it already made me hungry...
I think I would enjoy those 4 diashes, maybe skip the liver-cream though.
Nicely combined meal in four pictures.
Buona giornata,
Ike

Hi Luciano
Nice simple record shot - if rather calorific - images; the colours, textures and details are lovely. Well done
Regards

clic (23760) 2020-10-22 11:32

Ciao Luciano
Too bad I just had lunch; so I will have to put aside these appetizing dishes and save them for dinner!
Emana un odore soave!
Thanks for the idea; I showed to my wife.
Ciao
