Chocdoc Revelling in Rimini

[Kerry Beal]

Been doing a little advertising before this trip 

 

 

 

 

Tonight @Alleguede and I head out to Rimini, Italy (birthplace of Fellini) for Sigep - a huge pastry, gelato, coffee and a bit of chocolate trade show.

 

Rimini also happens to be the home of the parents of @Alleguede’s girlfriend and this will be his first meeting with them - so he’s a bit anxious.

 

There is a traditional flatbread from the area that I am hoping Bianca’s nonna  will teach me.

 

Looking forward to the foods of the area and sharing them with you.

You don’t have a blimp?

There was a Francesca di Rimini whose name has stayed with me since my "History of Renaissance Europe" class some 40-plus years ago. I wish I could remember why.

He has 30 kg of baking in his bag.

So we are in the posh Signature Lounge. @Alleguede supplies their gelato and croissants.

My jet lag program requires 3 cups of coffee in short order. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They brought me a 4th but I knew better!

Me too - but jet lag program precludes it tonight!

Thanks for posting.

Enjoying it.

 

[Kerry Beal]

This is @Alleguede’s gelato - the sticky toffee pud left something to be desired

 

 

 

 

 

[Kerry Beal]

What I won’t be eating tonight - wonder if they could add the cheese to my breakfast tray 

 

 

[heidih]

Most planes are cold - just snag the cheese now

[Kerry Beal]

That would require staying awake - does not fit with my jet lag program!

Francesca da Rimini is a piece of music among the "favorites" digitized on my computer.  The historical Francesca came to a bad end.  Dante meets up with her in the second circle of hell, reserved for the lustful.  Alas she was not there for eating chocolate.

 

[Kerry Beal]

Breakfast on the plane - they remembered the cheese!

I gave up The Blimp years ago.

 

is this an actual trip ,

 

or a front to get into the various AirCanada Lounge's?

 

just checking.

 

How long in Rimini ?

my apologies .

 

looking forward to some GoodEats in Italy.

 

and thank you for the Menu(s)

[Kerry Beal]

This is a chocolate business trip. I week in Rimini then a little over an hour to get back to Bologna.

[rotuts]
