So I have restarted the SYB initiative and with new vigour and aspirations. And I realised that I have spoken so much more about the peripherals than about the most important thing about this venture, which is the coffee.
So far the best coffee I have had was in Trapani in Sicily. In fact some of the best food I have had in life was in Italy. But getting back to the coffee, I think it was called caffe crema ( I am not 100% sure about this), and it was a sort of a thick cold creamy heavenly concoction of coffee, cream and ice.
Part of my plan now is to recreate the taste, that texture and that absolutely orgasmic experience. I have found a few recipes online, and I want to try it at home if possible.
Apart from coffee there is another thing that the Italians taught me. That is simplicity of ingredients and supporting local produce. In Britain as well the trend these days is to support the local farmers and growers. It helps the food business, it helps the local farmers and increases the appreciation for them. It is a complete win win situation, and yet I see quite the opposite trend in some other parts of the world.
Someone recently reminded me that I need to think globally and act locally. And that is exactly what I am going to do.
Sell Coffee, not your soul
