Herpes Or Pilonial Cyst?



The torpedo Como
sturgeon except, you know what is the biggest fish that swims in inland waters in Europe? If you are not aware, I say us, is the catfish (Silurus glanis), up to 3 meters long, equipped with distinctive wattles.
If we talk about here, the shrewd reader will think, there must be a torpedo of culinary uses. And if many people, inspired by current entries, Pescioni believe that this is not edible, we have preferred to see for themselves. And the surprise we had to Swirl , restaurant Mandello Lario (province of Lecco, via Provinciale 165 loc. Olcio, tel. 0341732546, closes on Sunday evening and Monday, accepts all credit cards, the Reservations are strongly recommended) , Favor treated in strict family by spouses Fasoli. While the head is in the room to take care of the service and wines (often aided by his son Richard, called Curly), it is the lady in the kitchen, without any intrusion, to prepare for no more than 25-30 guests one of the finest Lake Como experiments in an area far from stingy .
Sitting in one of two beautiful rooms, choose a wine with a remarkable paper and light meals and inviting, the result of the review of local cuisine lakeside.
First, there is a menu of the lake at 50 € (prepared for the whole table), which includes spiral of catfish in sweet and sour (here it is, the light balls!), Noodles with char, black olives and tomatoes, white wine to whitefish, pike and lentils with coriander, a dessert choice and coffee. Or if you are at least two and amuse you with a single dish, friendly, there is padelada of the lake, the first book, a sort of interpretation of Manzoni's paella Valenciana, lake fish and rice provided pilaff yellow.
If you prefer the other, there is a la carte menu, almost exclusively fish. You can start with the salad of smoked eel and spicy blue cheese (tasty and substantial, increasingly intriguing with a drop of that oil that the owner draws from his olive trees here in Olcio), or the marinated trout with chives, or even with the bowl of fish sauce, red pepper.
Among the former, he amazed us missultàa the simple goodness of spaghetti, that is, with sauce or missoltino missultin, the agony of the lake put out to dry ( mis sut ul tin): a modern and traditional, full of charm. Noteworthy too is the soup Como, or the buckwheat pancakes and whitefish with cream of broccoli.
as the main course, our torpedo Here comes again, brought in pieces on a bed of cabbage and mustard: very good, with a great white from Alto Adige. If you prefer, you can taste but also very typical perch golden thyme, char with saffron, or if carnivores with a vengeance, the lamb chops with herbs. Sweets excellent, headed by closing clamps 300. You'll spend
between 40 and 45 €, with happiness.
