This blog is a platform to discover culture through cookery, not for politics or discourse. My belief, however that budget airlines have turned the planet into a toilet, is a conviction I have to vent somewhere.
Do you remember the time before rob-our-air and Sleazy Jet? The time when weather was somewhat more certain, and tsunami's, hurricanes and freak storms somewhat less likely? Is it pure co-incidence that climate change has accelerated since the births of these monsters? Not only this, I have read in today's Stampa that because of them, travel culture has changed, we no longer travel for travelling sake, but to get somewhere. What outrage. Think about the great novels, albums and films, the road movies and romantism of boat and train travel, now secconded to the dustbin of History. R.I.P Kerouac.

Slow food is good food
There's a movement called the Slow Food movement. Most places desperately need it, we all rush about like headless chickens, lost in the labyrinths of the big cities. Luckily certain corners of the world have been left out of the rat race... in places like sicily you might just get something delicious that isn't about to run off you plate, race around your insides and splurt out your rectum into the fast running drains, down the sewers and into the nearest watercourse.
Cheap flights is part of the same indigestive system.
Viva sicilia! Viva cucina lenta!
