An interesting comparison, to be sure. I'll have the coffee and the apple strudel too.
ReplyDeleteApple tart. two words I love. :)
ReplyDeleteMerisi, I would gladly have pulled up another chair to your cafe table and also ordered a melange and strudel.
ReplyDeleteWhere have those smokers taken themselves? Do that gather from time to time just outside the cafe door...or perhaps just a bit further along the road?
Hoping that they will not desert the cafe.

Hurrah for smoke-free! I spent so much of my life being annoyed by having to breathe cigarette smoke in public places and being miserable that I rejoice in the new laws.
ReplyDeleteApple streudel and coffee. Hmm, I can smell the aroma floating through my computer. Wonderful, Merisi.
ReplyDeleteSimona,
ReplyDeletethere are enough reasons to be worried, sitting on a powder keg is not one I'd have thought of before. ;-)
Charles Gramlich,
it was a delicious one! :-)
Francis,
Sunday morning a week ago I met a friend there. The cafe' was bustling, inside and also on the large terrace outside. Alas, not a single smoker to see, not even at the outside tables! It was really strange.
Vicki Lane,
ReplyDeleteI felt such a huge relief when I moved from Rome to the States! Smoke gives me migraines that last far longer than a dinner at a smoke filled restaurant. It seems unbelievable nowadays, but I remember Sunday mornings at the movies in Rome, films for children accompanied by a parent, mainly fathers, and there was smoke everywhere. I am so proud of the Italians, that they respect the non-smoking laws.
Barbara Martin,
the air pregnant with baked apples and cinnamon wafting from Hawelka's kitchen, I simply could not resist. ;-)
love shooting other's leftovers..
