Chestnut Festival_Zocca(Modena)_Italy 11Ott.09

noreply@blogger.com (Funky Town) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:47:00 +0000

Dear friends, I want to tell the trip made with the Funky Friends, laughing at the country of Zocca, province of Modena_Italy. Over the hill and surrounded by chestnut trees, we decided to go to gather chestnuts in the woods that surround it.

After collecting several pounds of chestnuts, we went to the restaurant ....

1_"Gramigna"
with sausage.(This yellow color, it means that many eggs were used for the production
of this hand-made pasta

2_Yellow polenta
garnished with mushrooms and wild boar

3_Mushrooms

And finally in the center of Zocca, we visited the festival that took place

You can see the processing of milk for the production of real parmesan cheese....

And some volunteers in cooking chestnuts....

Could not fail to conclude this day in joy, these volunteers very happy to cook chestnuts.
