13/09 - 17/09 Friuli Doc: a celebration of the wonder that is food and wine

The greatest food festival that could possibly exist happens annually in our favourite Italian city where our favourite Italian lives. Our luck could not have been better. Three nights of wild eating and drinking made us feel so wonderfully Italian. An entire region of Italy had come to Udine's city centre. We regrettably do not have a single photo of these packed nights where every street was full of Italians partying it hard and celebrating the wonder that is Italian food but we can try our best to recollect the craziness. Friday night With an early evening temperature of 19 degrees we set out into the night wearing our heaviest coats and scarves. Hitting our favourite bar 'Glass', Pia was reunited with her group of Italian homies as we downed white wine like water. The food adventures came soon enough when everybody sat down outside some market stalls with a plate of frico or a bowl of gnocchi. We of course tried both, with a beer on the side. It felt like we met every single young resident of Udine that night and with a later trip to Glass followed by some sausages and polenta it was a never ending evening of great Italian socialising. Saturday Although Friuli Doc shone brightest at night, the streets were packed with stalls of knick knacks, jewellery and of course free taste tests during the day. We found Baman, and would later stumble across Piderman to complete the dynamic duo.

We stuffed ourselves with cheese, bread, honey and pancetta from stalls across the city, hopping from freebie to freebie until we had practically consumed a full meal. Of course a food festival is always accompanied by alcohol, and we washed it down with fruity spirits. Saturday night We went on a quest. A quest for the most delectable plum filled gnocchi from Pia's exchange two years earlier. Initially we failed miserably, getting completely lost and after about an hour settling on some more juicy sausages. Wine and drunk dancing at Glass of course followed before Frannie saved us, pointing us in the direction of the gnocchi. We power walked our little legs across the centre and although our tummies were probably not prepared for more food, we made room. No regrets. The most glorious, mouth-watering giant gnocchi of our lives. Making our way back to the bar we sneaky drank half a bottle of red wine that had been left on our table. We partied with more amazing Italians, had one guy say that the 'hide yo kids hide yo wife' guy was 'the best nigga on the Internet' (please excuse the language but we thought it was hilarious coming from a random Italian. Alongside Frannie who said to a Margaret thatcher lover 'the bitch is dead), got free beer and then passed a packed bar dancing way too enthusiastically to the national anthem. The people of Udine are proud and loud. Sunday A lazy day with the rain falling outside and our naps lasting into the evening and frannie cooked us pasta.. We love you girl but for an Italian we don't know how you struggled so much. Sunday night The final night of Friuli Doc :( We began with wine but then made a discovery which would change our existence, Porter beer. The creamiest dark beer we have ever tasted. Sorry Guinness, but you have nothing on this. After sipping wine beside a castle with YMCA blasting in the background we decided to find food, as any sane person at Friuli Doc would do (even though take-out pizza had already been consumed back home). What we found was so much better than expected. A free beer and a whole free chicken. Tomato sauce and mustard included!

September: it's a busy month! 

Schools reopening their doors with much relief of most parents, cooler air and temperatures are helping the grape pickers working in the vineyards (and not only them), the occasional rain helps the dried lawns regaining their natural green colour. It is also a very busy month for the enogastronomers living or travelling across the North East Italy.

Let's see what's on.
