OK, we've just had a couple of bowls each of this and it's wonderful. I made it with frozen broad beans, as those were the only frozen fresh beans I could get my hands on, but now I want to try it with various tinned and dried beans (of which I have a wide selection.) I used a bit of ham stock in the water (I boiled a ham last week), and drizzled with a little truffle oil to finish. Definitely one we'll make again and again.

Happy New Year, Sinù!

I agree with you and those who find the idea of an entrance fee to be distasteful at best. Irresponsible tourism *IS* a problem, and the depopulation of the central sestiere *IS* depressing, but it's a mistake to conflate the two. As you, know there are many complex reasons why families chose to relocate to Mestre and other Terra Ferma communities.

Even if all day-trippers vanished forever, that would not restore the glory days of the Republic.

On a more positive note, your Christmas feast sounds absolutely DELICIOUS !!!😋
