The Menu: Wilkie’s Organic Chocolate
The Menu is a great man for a spot of culinary travelling, experiencing the world from his own kitchen. When the wherewithal for a plane ticket is in short supply, a ticket for the palate is easily procured and one of The Menu’s favourite gastronomic destinations is Italy. And when The Menu is stocking up on supplies necessary for the cooking of fine Italian fare, most especially a decent ‘00’ flour for the production of his legendary fresh sage butter ravioli, he pays a courtesy call to former Neapolitan-turned-Corkonian Pasquale De Vivo in his Boot Specialities Emporium. Alongside the courtesy ‘defibrillator’ otherwise known as espresso given to every single customer, there is a quite astonishing range of Italian goodies, including the best dried pasta in the city at quite possibly the keenest price in the country. Viva Pasquale!
