Big Joe sur Paris

17/09/2024: A very good experience in this Italian establishment on rue Mouffetard. The premises are full of Italian products, whether bottles of wine, pasta, sauces of all kinds, cheeses or even cold meats, all of which serves as decoration in order to immerse us in the Italian universe. The staff is quite pleasant and efficient, listening to our requests. When it comes to products, everything we tried was pretty good, whether it was the Gorgonzola lasagna, the little octopus or the prawns with dill. The Arancini are, however, a little dry. The prices are a little high because everything is good but there is nothing exceptional either. Still worth testing from time to time.

27/07/2024: I went to pick up some provolone at the beginning of July and was able to chat with one of the sellers, who was very nice, about my future attempt at a croquetas recipe. In the end I didn't do too badly. For those who are interested, I cooked the spinach in the pan and mixed it while still hot with the grated provolone, I formed balls which I put in the freezer then I rolled them in egg and breadcrumbs before frying.
