MarcoA’s Fridge
This is a Fridge from: Italy |

This Fridge is from Bologna, Italy.
Hi! I’m MarcoA, from Bologna, Italy. And that’s my fridge. Actually is not so full, but I’m quite satisfied of it :) In photo n 1 you can see an overview: The Heinekein barrel is obviously the KING OF THE FRIDGE: I took out a shelf to keep it chilled. From the top left, you can notice a piece of Faggiola, a tipical cheese from our zone, a pack of bacon to be always ready for some Spaghetti alla Carbonara and two jar of ragù. On the lower shelf, a pack of tortelloni, a jar of mini peppers filled with tuna, some ham and in the bag, a great piece of Parmigiano Reggiano (ready to be grated on the overmentioned carbonara). In the king’s shelf, a pack of ground meat for the next ragù and, in the two mugs, some zucchini cooked with onion and parsley. Behind the barrell, a bottle of tomato sauce. In the lower shelf, a blue pack of feta over some mozzarelle di bufala and a jar of greek olives. In the covered dish, some peas cooked with bacon, onion and butter. In the drawers? a pumpkin on the left side and some vegetable on the left :) On the fridge door, from top left a small bottle of Probiotic yoghurt, some yeast for my bread machine. Then some ketchup, mayo and mustard. A case of eggs and, in the lowest part, a pack of coffee (err… very cheap, but I must finish it before opening a better one) and two bottles of white wine: a bottle of “Pagadebit” and a bottle of Verduzzo. Last one, a quasi finished bottle of coke. I think this evening I will eat some zucchini :)

Thank you, Marco, not only for the pics but for describing the food in the fridge. That’s the most interesting part. I’m Canadian and I’m fascinated by what Italians might have in their fridges. I always think Italians eat so much better than the average North American and seeing what you have, and reading the descriptions, I think that’s a pretty good assumption.
I wonder what the Faggiola’s like. We were disappointed recently with a wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano we got especially for a pasta dish we were making because it tasted so bland. Really, REALLY bland. We couldn’t understand it. Very strange. Maybe something went wrong during the manufacture.
Your descriptions of your food is making me hungry now. I’m especially intrigued by the mini peppers stuffed with tuna. We don’t have that over here. But I used to stuff green bell peppers with tuna, onion, garlic, black pepper and mayonnaise and eat it like an apple for lunch. Yum! I’m also going to borrow your idea and make peas with bacon, onion and butter. That sounds delicious!
Love from Canada!
From,
