Insalate tropicale
Again with Americano! So many lunch meetings here...but at least it was our Protagonist's turn to sample the Salsiccia saltata that had perked his olfactory nerve the last time. It turned out to be very generous, more like a dinner portion, which justified its higher price than the other lunch offerings. The sausage was flat rather than in a casing, and had curled up on the edges from cooking rather like bacon (except much larger!) It was wonderfully spiced and accompanied by sauteed mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. The only disappointment was when our Protagonist would spear what he thought was a mushroom cap, only to discover it was actually a slice of potato! As heavy as this dish was, the potatoes could have been forgone altogether to make room for more mushrooms, instead. The sauce was good enough to require two pieces of bread for supping in order to not leave any behind. The dining companion had the salad with hearts of palm and avocado, but our Protagonist requires more protein to fulfill the definition of lunch. Perhaps the salad will find its way into a dinner selection the next time he (inevitably) returns. Our Protagonist left feeling very full, but high marks were given to the dish, nonetheless; it seems to be a point of consistency at the restaurant, so it is definitely recommended.
