I see we have a Restaurant Review procedure - but could we have all the reviews as their own topic so it's quick and easy to see what's been recommended.  Currently on a search I have to wade through all the other food stuff.  Or am I doing someth

Just to add to teh above update, all the information is now available on http://camp59survivors.wordpress.com/2010/05/ That will take you straight to "L'Informatore on the Davison rescue" and after reading the first part, if you click on "Read the rest of this entry" you'll (surprise surprise) get to read the rest. And some further inside info - as a result of this publicity a fluent English speaking  grand-nephew of Giovanni Bellazzi had contacted John - and informs him that Giovanni's siter is still alive at 103!  I've wrned him that he is going to be doing a lot of eating during his August reunion!

...your thread has been hijacked, though maybe everyone's ramblings will help consolidate your thoughts.   Anyway - Yummmm - I'm doing that chicken thing (presumably Flemish - or is it Walloon - can't remember which are the non-French speakers) and I'm DEFINITELY trying "tagliatelle allo Marmite" Really interesting to hear an Italian view with a nod to Britishness.  Any more cross-cultural musings Raggio??

I couldn't find anything on the UK news about this - only a comment on my Facebook from Italians incensed - presumably by the wasted time, effort and money. Or maybe that some jobs for the boys are now under threat!
