Quale è il panino più buono in assoluto? Dovessi fare un indagine sicuramente ognuno di noi avrebbe una risposta diversa. Personalmente non mi attira più il sandwich di pane bianco morbido con il burro di arachidi e la marmellata che mangiavamo da piccoli (che orrore!); opterei piuttosto per un buon ‘francesino’ fresco con speck e gorgonzola dolce che cola da tutte le parti. L’altro giorno Zacky ha preparato il tavolo per il pranzo mettendo ogni ben di dio dalla mozzarella al prosciutto tutto quello che trovava nel frigo compreso diverse cose che proprio non c’entravano per nulla con il pranzo. Mi aveva perfino fatto aprire una scatola di tonno che lui adora e quando finalmente mi sono seduta al tavolo lui stava già divorando con gusto il suo panino con i semi di zucca. L’ho tenuto d’occhio un attimo per vedere dove cadeva il tonno e inizialmente mi sono meravigliata a vedere che non stava facendo il solito pasticcio. “Aha! … non hai messo niente!”, l’ho accusato. Invece mi ha aperto il panino trionfante per farmi vedere che l’aveva riempito sì; con un bel blocco di … pane nero! (pane multi cereale scuro) E questo sicuramente per lui è il massimo che la cucina italiana possa offrire.

The ultimate sandwich
What is the ultimate sandwich? I am sure if I were to run a survey everyone would have a different answer. Personally I no longer have even the slightest craving for the peanut butter and jam sandwiches on Wonder Bread that we used to eat as kids (yuck!), but a nice speck and gorgonzola cheese on fresh crusty French bread… now that I could get worked up about! The other day Zacky prepared the table for lunch putting out all kinds of stuff from mozzarella to prosciutto, everything he could find in the fridge including a number of things that had nothing to do with lunch. He even had me open a tin of tuna that he adores and when I finally managed to sit down at the table, he was already devouring his pumpkin seed bun. I kept an eye on him for a moment to see where the tuna was going to fall and was initially very surprised to see that he wasn’t making the usual mess. “Aha” I accused him “you haven’t put anything in that!”. Instead, he opened the bun triumphantly to show me that he had put something in; a big lump of … ’black’ bread! (dark multi-grain bread) For Zacky this is surely the absolute maximum that Italian cuisine has to offer.
