In the collective means to be a vegetarian eat salad and tomatoes and tomato salad as an alternative ......
Well, people like me who has the good fortune to participate in events like the Festival of seitan Pozzolatico (June 6, 2010) can understand how wrong this "urban legend".
Why you ask. Simple: in a festival like this one immediately realizes there are many edible things in nature without having to resort to animal protein foods and "soaked" preservatives, dyes, etc.. And I can guarantee you one thing: until you try this type of cuisine you are not truly realize the variety of things you can eat. And not only variety and quantity, but quality! The kitchen offers an excellent appetizer of the feast "of land and sea "made with slices of seitan, seaweed and tofu that I and my wife we \u200b\u200bsplit. I have" wasted "then a delicious caponata made with seitan seitan, in fact, black olives, eggplant, peppers, onions, carrots, zucchini, celery, sage and rosemary, while my wife is dedicated to tofu to Sorrento, which is fried tofu with garlic, and then capers, tomatoes, Russian boiled potatoes, boiled beans and soy mayonnaise .. ... What to say: Everything is really great and I would spend more than decent. An appetizer, two courses (abundant) and a bottle of wine: 25 €.
Finally we left to take by the throat and the sweet Silvia Luigi's Restaurant "La Source" Montespertoli: a vegan strawberry tiramisu and a chocolate tart vegan. Looking back now it is your mouth watering ... And to think that I'm not even a fan of sweets! The restaurant can be found here: http://www.ristorantelafonte.it
defects of this festival? Yes, it's got a flaw: it lasts only one day. And if I recall the amount of people there-from all over Italy! - I think that if it lasted at least an entire weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) would be even more successful.
See you next year!
(Let's hope it arrives soon !!!!)
