We finally succumbed to a temptation that's been coming to our in-box every week. Very early on Sunday mornings, Veritas in Chesterfield sends out an e-mail list of food available for carryout. Easily reheatable two-portion amounts are sold for about half of what they would cost to eat in the shop's restaurant area. First come, first served, for pickup at Veritas.
We made a salad and dined on pappardelle pasta with a bison Bolognese sauce, each packaged separately, the pasta fresh rather than dried and needing only a fast run through boiling water. But it was the Bolognese that really charmed, properly chunky, with a buttery aroma that was almost sweet and a fine savor on the tongue.
Just e-mail a request to join the mailing list, or drop by when you're in the neighborhood and fill out a card.
