What did you cook in the end?
I guess steak and mash, I had deep fried risotto balls with hollandaise sauce and spinach last night which was incredible.

that sounds incredible
I had steak and mash, but the steak was marinated in soy and fish sauce with garlic and ginger, and the mash had soy sauce and spring onions in it.
and with caramlised 5 spice leeks.

Do I win a prize?
i was at a restaurant, but i've made them at home before, really easy, make a nice sticky risotto, form balls, dunk in whisked egg, breadcrumbs, fry.

Risotto balls deep fried in breadcrumbs, done

no, because I mentioned that I would probably eat that
and I detailed it in another post last night.

mmm. I don't deep fry stuff at home though. never seems worth the oil.

In Rome they call them 'suppli' I believe
They have a little ball of mozzarella in the middle and are classic street food, like those gorgeous deep fried courgette flowers.

I really, really want to go back to Rome this spring, to glug wine al fresco sat at the foot of a fountain in Trastevere.

NB this time I do not wish to take so many drugs that I develop vertigo, for the first time, at the top of the dome of St Peter's, though. That was horrendous.

The chances of this happening seem slim

The drugs I mean not the whole trip.

Last time I went I had 'contacts', this time I wouldn't...
