The Palio opened up, I believe, on Sunday night, at least according to all my sources. Not that they run the Palio here in Argentina, though there are certainly enough horses and races around, but to the best of my knowledge it continues in its traditional location of Siena, Italy. On the other hand, given my love of Italian food, it made a perfect choice for a dinner theme when a group of my regular readers who are spending a term in school here wanted to come for dinner. In fact, as I found out later, apparently they follow my scribblings sufficiently that their weekly group dinner over the last few months has tended to head them towards one of my recommendations each week. Gratifying and a bit scary, I feel like I’m warping young minds… but then, it’s only food, right?
