Puntarelle
Puntarelle or cicoria di catalogna or cicoria asparago is a variant of chicory. The heads are characterized by an elongated shape (about 40–50 cm), light green stems and dandelion shaped leaves. Puntarelle shoots have a pleasantly bitter taste.
Applications
Puntarelle are picked when they are young and tender and may be eaten raw or cooked. Often used as a traditional ingredient in the Roman salad called by the same name, they are prepared with the leaves stripped and the shoots soaked in cold water until they curl. The salad is served with a prepared dressing of anchovy, garlic, vinegar, and salt, pounded and emulsified with olive oil.

The Doctor
by: PenetraliaGood morning, I'm your doctor
Dr. Oste is my name
I appreciate your coming
To play my wicked games
No need to be frightened
Calm down and lay to rest
Come on let's see what drugs we have
Yeah - alcohol's the best
Now nurse where's my scalpel
Give it - will you please?
Patient's still in conscience
Anyway - I can't ease the pain
A little cut right here
Another cut down there
How I love them screaming
Like little kids in fear
Yeah I'm Dr. Oste
Surgery's my game
Cruelty was my mother
Everytime I do the same
Here is the nervus opticus
Cut it - will you nurse
Now give that slimy eye to me
I'll put it in a glass
Don't want your flesh
I just want your eye
Gimme eyes
But I won't take both
Just one
Cause I'd like you to see
My sofisticated art
How d'you like it
Disfigured faces are beautiful I think
Say you like it
