  Day 4 - A Little Tongue and Lots of Lasagna (Ivrea)
Day 4, Tuesday 24 April 2007 - When you are the guest of honor at a dinner with ten "Friends of the Via Francigena" you can't say no to their beef tongue drenched in the parsley-garlic-olive oil sauce even though as a kid you put tongue on the level of brain, intestines and all those other odd parts of the cow you knew they ate in the old country, but you swore never touch.

Then again, they can't say no when you ask for the fourth portion of lasagna.

The dinner went late, there was also bagna cauda and other Piedmontese specialities, wine, two cakes, lots of photos, more wine and a few speeches.

Writing after all that became a bit problematic and so it is that I'm late posting. More is on the way..
