Slow Food?

When we visited Tuscany a couple of years ago, I stumbled across the following sign (I think in San Gimignano);



At the time, I thought the term, 'Slow Food' was just one of those lost in translation moments.

However, it would appear that may not have been the case...

Slow Food International | good, clean and fair food

We didn't stop as we were charging through, but I partly wished we had now.

Ever heard of it - the movement that is, not the restaurant.

No, but it sounds good to me

What a brilliant idea. To catch a phrase like that

Remember reading about it in a mag a few years ago, it's been going for ages in Italy and every now and again somebody tried to get it up and running over here as a kind of anti Micky D's thing. Am all for it, food should be enjoyed at leisure.

They have a new group forming in Bedford HW - I may have to join

I've subscribed to Taste Italia for a few years - they are big supporters of the Slow Food Movement. It was started in direct response to McDonalds opening by the Piazza di Spagna!

I attended a Slow Food tasting session at the Glasgow Good Food show a couple of years ago - it was excellent, thought-provoking, and tasty!

Yes, they've been around for a long time. One good reason to live here
