Some insights on the typical Tuscan dishes that we have proposed:

THE BLACK CROUTONS

   

 

 

 

 

There is no genuine typical Tuscan dinner, without liver crostini, otherwise called black crostini, Crostini Neri or Tuscan crostini. They are called in many ways, but the concept does not   change: if done well, they are really delicious. Today we find them in all restaurants and they are also an appetizer for family Sundays, for important dinners and for large parties; but where do they come from?

The "ancestors of crostini" are the so-called "mense", large disks of bread used before 1400. The bread used was hard (it was prepared only two or three times a month), it was     first roasted and then soaked in broth: it is in this period that the crouton no longer became waste food, but was also appreciated by lords, dukes and counts, from the 15th century onwards. And it is precisely on the tables of the nobles that the culinary tradition of appetizers was born, which soon spread to other European courts.

In the history of crostini we can see the perfect symbiosis between poor peasant and bourgeois cuisine embellished with spices, aromas and wines: a way to consume bread,  the   primary resource of less well-to-do families, and waste (offal) of chickens, while trying to "hide" their flavor with smells (onion, celery, carrot, sage, rosemary ...), fats (oil and / or  butter), capers, anchovies and wine.
And a good glass of red wine is the best match with this delicious dish! Cheers!

THE PICI

Pici are a typical fresh Tuscan pasta, similar to spaghetti but thicker. Simply prepared with flour, water, oil (in some variations) and salt, they represent the “poor” dish, typical of rural life. What enriches this pasta are sauces, to which it fits perfectly.

The origin of the pici seems to be Etruscan. A first testimony can be found in the Tomb of the Leopards of Tarquinia, in which a paste resembling pici appears.

The area therefore seems to be on the border between Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio and in these three regions in fact the same preparation takes different names such as the "lombrichelli Viterbesi"; the "pisciarelli", the "torcolacci", the "filarelli", the "lilleri laziali"; the “ceriole”, the Umbrian “stringoli” and the Perugian “stringozzi”.

As for the name, there are various theories. There are those who trace it back to the figure of Marco Gavio Apicius (25 BC 37 AD), one of the most important gastronomes of the Roman era, some instead claim it derives from the locality of San Felice in Picis, a town in the area of ​​Castelnuovo, of the diocese of Arezzo. Still others believe that their name derives from the white fir reserve of Piancastagnaio in the province of Siena which has a long, narrow and white shape (like that of the Pici) and is called Pigelleto. But perhaps the truth lies in the gesture that is made with the palm of the hand to make the dough take the shape of the picio, which in the Tuscan culinary jargon is the verb "appiciare".
