Tasty and peasant, Ladin breakfast. Having a proper one is an experience to be truly savoured. You are in a farmhouse and the landlord welcomes you by leading you first to the stable and then to the “stube”, a typical alpine dining room, where the table is laid with all sorts of delicacies. A good beginning bodes well…
So, why is a visit to an old farmstead a must?
For it is only by getting to know the lifestyle of bygone days that one can acquire the awareness that lies at the heart of any form of hospitality seeking to be sustainable, liveable and respectful of nature.
Why do Ladins like the “pücia” so much?
In its sheer simplicity, it stands for a tradition that is still handed down from one table to the next. The “pücia” is none other than a rye bread spiced with anise, fennel and cumin - a typical produce of the Ladin valleys.
It is said that “a man without an apron is only half-dressed”. Why?
This South Tyrolean proverb conveys how the typical blue apron symbolises the artisans and farmers who have been wearing it since time immemorial.
