Mr Loverman, review: Lennie James dazzles in a rarely told story of illicit late-life love

Many TV dramas have a good opening episode and then go downhill. Mr Loverman (BBC One) is the opposite. I didn’t really get on with it in the beginning. It’s based on a charming novel by Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo, and at first it screams “adapted from a book”. In novels, authors need to tell us a character’s innermost thoughts. This a...

Two had needles in their arms; Bruce, a few years later, was found on a motel room floor, next to a duffel bag. Pacino, bookish and smoking by nine, was no leader of the pack:...

Italian Street Food!! 🥪 🇮🇹 World’s Most Famous Sandwich - Florence, Italy!!

🇮🇹 Best Italian Food in Milan: https://youtu.be/De0IIm3XXMw 👕 T-shirts: https://store.migrationology.com/ 🌶 Ghost Chili: https://amzn.to/3PNTvNQ FLORENCE, ITALY - Today we’re going on an ultimate Italian food tour in Florence, Italy. We’ll eat some of the most legendary street food, iconic dishes, and then end with a truly authentic and rare Florentine meal for dinner. Get ready to eat your way through Florence! Friends in the video: Edoardo Celadon (@MostOfItaly https://www.mostofitaly.com/) - Edoardo can arrange you the best and most authentic food experiences throughout Italy! Jeffrey Merrihue: https://www.instagram.com/xtremefoodies_/ Hamid Sepidnam: https://www.instagram.com/mr.taster/ Here’s all the Italian food we ate in Florence: All’Antico Vinaio, Florence, Italy (https://maps.app.goo.gl/DYuKWMcZYo2a9ih78) - We’re starting off this Italian street food tour with what is easily one of the world’s most famous sandwiches from All’Antico Vinaio. Their bread is immaculate, right out of the oven. I tried three different sandwiches, all of which were outstanding: Sandwich 1: Favolosa - Sbriciolona salami, cream of pecorino cheese, artichokes, spicy eggplants Sandwich 2: La Inferno - Roast suckling pig, spicy cream, spicy eggplant, rocket Sandwich 3: La Paradiso - Mortadella, stracciatella cheese, pistachios Tripperia Pollini Lampredotto - You can visit Florence without trying their beloved lampredetto, a sandwich made with the cow’s 4th stomach (abomasum). Traditionally it’s just served with salt and pepper, but with some herb oil and chili oil it really bumps up the flavor. Vivoli Gelato - Continuing with this Italian food tour with had a Gran Crema Caffè Vivoli (Affogato) - Cream gelato with coffee, at one of the original and historical gelato shops - it was delicious! Tripe sandwich: Da' Vinattieri - Edoardo next brought us into an alley to eat Trippa alla Fiorentina - Florence style tripe sandwich, which is slightly different from the lampredetto we had already eaten earlier. La Sorbettiera - After trying the original and old style gelato affogato, we then needed to try a modern gelato spot. Cibrèo Ristorante, Florence, Italy (https://maps.app.goo.gl/riMyoyB2x3RbrS5EA) - Finally, along with all the street food, we decided to sit down for a massive higher end dinner to highlight some of the true and nearly forgotten Italian dishes of Florence. We tried the massive Antipasto, Collo di pollo ripieno - stuffed chicken neck, Tagliolini cacio e burro - pasta with cheese and butter, Roastbeef del Cibrèo Caffè - roast beef with butter sauce, and finally Cibrèo - chicken and rooster organs in egg and lemon sauce! What a meal, highly recommended and thank you again for Edoardo for arranging it. Thank you again to Edoardo Celadon (@MostOfItaly https://www.mostofitaly.com/) for arranging this incredible day of food in Florence! He can arrange authentic Italian food tours throughout Italy.
