Photo Update and a Terrible Food Oversight from Milano

Dear Readers,

Check this URL site out and see if what we have uploaded works one album is England (Siobhan's Library 2011) and the other is Siobhan's Library 2001 Highlights from Florence. Chad or PETA, has it worked? We will add highlights from each region if it has worked.


Whilst in Florence fellow piglets, we had read about this amazing food store called Pecks, which we tracked down and went in. Established in the 1883, this food store has been supplying Florentines with the very best Italy has to offer. It makes DJ's look like a Macca's. There are more than 3,200 of parmigiano reggiano cheese just for starters. Other treasures include an exquisite array of chocolates, pralines, pastries and freshly made gelatos, seafood, caviar, pates, a butcher, fruit and veg,truffle products, olive oils and balsamic vinegars.

Clearly the many staff on hand are used to the overwhelming reaction that tourists have when first entering and seeing this Aladdin's cave of food stuffs. They also have a basement full of the best Italian wine on offer. If you find yourself in Milan, you have to visit here for the sheer beauty of the selection of food. The presentation is stunning and the staff delightful. Pecks- doesn't sound very Italian, but is a foody experience to behold.


This place is just heaven. Bon appetito
