Banana and Peanut Butter Sandwiches

This is a classic high energy snack which is loved my British children and athletes. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.

• Spread some peanut butter on one side of two slices of bread.
• Slice a banana into 3/4-inch slices and place them closely together on one of the slices.
• Put the other slice of bread on top.
• Enjoy.

There are different variations of this sandwich,  one of the most popular is to leave out the peanut butter and to simply use butter and honey. Yum Yum

Ice Cream Float

Speaking to a friend the other day, it came to my attention that Trieste has no tradition in Ice Cream Floats.  I simply couldn’t believe that none of my friends, or their children, had ever tasted this gastronomical joy. I am now on a mission to rectify this cultural deficit.

This is the basic recipe:

1. Put a scoop of ice cream into a tall glass.
2. Slowly pour in a fizzy drink of your choice, e.g. Cola, or lemonade.
3. Add a straw and a long spoon.
4. Enjoy!
