Carnivals’ delight
“I don’t eat meat, I’m not a carnival.”

When I got over the flu Chus and I had lunch at Cantinetta on Pasong Tamo Extension. We started with an arugula salad then headed straight to the costolette di maiale alla griglia. Meaning porkchop. We split a two-inch-thick slab of porkchop. Good meat doesn’t need fussy preparation and artsy sauces—you stick it in the fire, and that’s it. Do you suppose that one reason we enjoy cholesterol so much is because health experts are always going on about how we shouldn’t? Mmm porkchop.
