I always wondered why a lot of Italian restaurants dont have Arancini on the menu when they are so tasty...

so decided to make them myself this week.

Now I understand! The time required is kind of ridiculous unless you cheat enormously and sacrifice the rice being perfect as a result. And if doing them properly need an egg wash, and ofc that starts getting expensive quickly if making en masse.

As have to chill the rice once has been soaked in your broth... for like half a day...
then once you form the balls with the filling inside the rice... you need to chill them basically overnight.

Started making these bastards on Friday and just about done now.

And then with the timespan needed means that only have one day to eat them before you are right up against food safety deadlines!

Because a real Italian restaurant, or at least one that aims to be one, would never serve it.

It is a gastronomic product that is born on the street to be eaten on the street. Furthermore, it is eaten with your hands, it should not cost more than 3 euros and it is neither an appetizer nor a first course. The same goes for the Supplì, which however is one of the classic appetizers in a pizzeria or trattoria.


You need to know how to cook rice, there are at least two fundamental steps that you need to be able to do and it requires a lot of attention.

I wanted to try the skeleton key and ecto cooler but the bartender wasn’t working or something. The manager couldn’t mix drinks only serve beer.
Went with mad elf. So disappointing

Honestly it's not even my favorite. I mean it's obviously good, don't get me wrong. But it's more of a thing for tradition with a few friends. And the other absolutely amazing taps they put on.

You made me curious given the holiday. They had Cantillon on tap today?! Son of a bitch. I have to try to get there this week.
