VALENTINA HOT SAUCE

From

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO

Valentina has become my favorite Hot Sauce of the past 3 years or so .. I picked it up at a .99 Cent Store one day, a 12 oz. bottle is just $1.29, average price of Tabasco is about $3.99 for a 5 oz. bottle .. It would cost me about $9 for the same amount of Tabasco or more than 7 times more expensive .. Don't get me wrong, I do love Tabasco and like its taste once and a while, it's definitely distinctive and a good deal hotter, but now by most preferred Hot Sauce by far is VALENTINA from Mexico .. It's not too hot, which for my personal taste I like ..  And the spices they use has a real nice flavor. And yes, Tabasco and some of the other brands are too dam expensive.

Before I started up with VALENEtINA I was using CRYSTAL HOT SAUCE from Louisiana for a while .. I like Hot Sauce from Louisiana and as we all know Tabasco can be a bit expensive as compare to Crystal and Valentina and some others, Crytal is way cheaper than Tabasco, but it is also a lot less hot and not as florvorful.  I did notice that in New Orleans Crytal is pretty popular and I saw it on many a restaurant table sometimes along with Tabasco and other bottles. I don't use Crystal that much any more since I discovered my fave, Valentina ... Sometimes I will have in the house; Tabasco, Valentina, and Crystal, and will mostley use Valentina, and Tabasco and Crystal here-and-there ...  

My favorite is on Scramble Eggs with buttered Peas on the side for Breakfast or a lite lunch .. Sometimes when I make FRied Eggs I like to douse on a bit of "Maggi Seasoning" with Valentina as well. These make for some super tasty fried eggs. Try em!

GABAGOOL

TONY SOPRANOS GABAGOOL SANDWICH

 

 

 

 

1. Gabagool

This is an addition to the previous definition, which is half right. "Gabagool" is slang for "capicola." It is not a mispronunciation, but is instead in Napolitan dialect, which is what the Sopranos and many Italian-Americans use.The rule in this dialect is to chop off ending vowels and to voice unvoiced consonants.Ricotta-"rigot"

Manicotti-"Manigought2. gabagool= Capicola Ham. "My wife sends me here to shop because they got good gabagool." 3. Gabagool  

The Sicilian pronunciation for the spicy deli ham "Capicola". "Do you want provologne on your gobagool sandwich?"4. Gabagool 

The americanized version of the Italian word "Capicola" made popular by Tony Soprano and other ignorant 2nd & 3rd generation Italo-Americans who have forgotten how to speak italian properly. Capicola is a spicy deli meat similar to ham or salami.

My SALAME PIZZA at Da MARINO , NAPOLI

This PIZZA was Amazing ! One of the Best in all of Napoli. I went here for lunch.

I had a delicious Insalata Frutta di Mare (Seafood Salad) and a plate of amazing SPAGHETTI VONGOLE with a small carafe of the local Falaghnina white wine.

As I was eating my lunch and observing the lively scene of Neapolitan Families having a Sunday Meal together, I spotted the Pizzaiolo making some incrediable Pizza .. They looked so good that I couldn't resist .. So after already eating my antipasto and pasta, I order a Salame Pizza (Pizza Margherita with Salami) .. It came out and was absolutely wonderful.

Take note, that this restorante / pizzeria Da Marino is by far and without question the single best restorante that I've come across in Naples .. The food, service and ambiance is superb and just can't be beat.

So if you're looking for the best meal possible when in Napoli, Da Marino is the place. It's right around the block from the Excelsior Hotel, so for an easy way to find it, would be to make your way to the Excelsior, go inside, ask someone for direction, and they tell you, it's just a couple blocks from the hotel. Enjoy.

Best Eats on Capri

SALUMERIA CAPPRI

Salumeria e Rosticceria

aka ITALIAN DELLI

I've got to say, Salumeria Capri Rosticceria has some of the best food in all of Capri .. I've eaten at a number of restaurants on Capri and the food they make at this little Salumeria is as good as any, and better than many, "I Kid You Not," it's that good. I got food from here every day (5 days) I was on Capri on this last trip, and loved everything I got here. The first day I picked up an Arancini (just to hold me over to dinner) and a bottle of water. The Arancini was awesome, so the next day when I was planning on going swimming at the Faraglioni I stopped off here to get another great Arancino. When I got there, I saw some tasty looking Melanzane Parmigiano (Eggplant Parm) and asked Mamma about it. She said she made it, so I asked for a portion along with my Rice Ball. I also picked up a bottle of water and a 1/2 bottle of Aglianco al Benevento (some local wine) to complete my boxed lunch for the beach. I paid then made my way on the 25 minute walk down to the Fragalioni that passed gorgeous homes and hotels on the Via Tagara before heading down the pathway to Da Luigi and the beach at The Fraglioni (with spectacular views along the way). I had a great time at the beach; swimming and enjoying my tasty boxed lunch from Salumeria Capri .. By my this day there I was treated like family. This was a great find that I recommend highly. Don't miss it!

Great Homemade RICE BALLS EGGPLANT PARMIGIANO, CROQUETTAS and more..

Beach Da LUIGI at The Famous FARAGLIONI Rocks on CAPRI

This is where I go swimming at least 1 day on each trip to  CAPRI ...

It's a bit expensive at 25 Euros (about $27 US) as compare to staying on the

beach for free at MARINA PICOLA or MARINA GRAND and other beaches on Capri,

but I like to treat myself to the incredible beauty of this spot each time I visit the 

beautiful ISLE of CAPRI ...

This was my Tasty LUCNH from SALUMERIA CAPRI

that I ate at the BEACH at FARAGLIONI ...

MAMMA'S EGGPLANT PARMIGIANO, ARANCINI (Rice Ball),

Italian Mineral Water, and a nice 1/2 bottle of AGLIANICO di BENEVENTTO,

a local wine from East of NAPOLI .. (cost about $12)

I have to say that this was without question one of the Best Most Enjoyable Lunches

I've ever had in my entire life .. What could be better but to be on the

Isle of Capri, at one of the most beautiful beach spots in the entire World at the

famed Faraglioni Rocks of Capri ..

                    My Caise Lounge at Da Luigi, at Faraglioni CAPRI .. 25 EUROS                                       and worth every Penny ..

Yes that was one of the most wonderful days and best lunches I've ever had.

A DAY I Shall Never Forget ... Basta !
