Antipasto


We treated ourselves Sat to an amazing antipasto spread. We didn't eat all of this but we sure tried. It was just delicious. For ours we did some bruschetta, salomi, pepperoni, three kinds of cheese, grapes, pickles, artichoke hearts, and some wine.

Antipasto (plural antipasti), means "before the meal" and is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Traditional antipasto includes cured meats, olives, roasted garlic, pepperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses (such as provolone or mozzarella) and peperone (marinated small green bell peppers, not to be confused with pepperoni). The antipasto is usually topped off with olive oil. -Wikipedia
Although it's suppose to act as a first course, with just the two of us, this was the main course. This would be a great romantic picnic with some wine. It was truly a delicious treat!
