Antipasti - and eating in the heat

We're not as impressed with Italian food as many people seem to be (seriously, pizza and pasta are mostly ... dough?), but there are some things they do really well. Things like olives, tomatoes and air-dried ham taste amazing here, and all these goodies are suitable for eating as 'antipasti'.

What is antipasti?

Antipasti are those little snacks that are often served before dinner in Italy. Antipasti can consist of all sorts of cold items such as cured meats, cheeses, seafood, breads, mixtures and small salads, olive, fresh and pickled vegetables, etc.

Don't want to cook in the heat ...

And then there's the issue of eating in the heat... We don't lose our appetite, but eating hot food is hard - not to mention that law hot food in a boiling hot motorhome!

For a while we tried starting with a small light antipasti at 18:00 and then cooking dinner at 20:30 (when it is hopefully a bit cooler). But that didn't really work. After the antipasti we weren't hungry enough - and it hardly cools down!!!!

Now we eat a reinforced antipasti in the evenings - a sort of crossover between Italian antipasti and Swedish smörgåsbord. It works for now!
