For the last night of the year, Whitney's family are taking us out to an Italian place in nearby Oakland. Even after looking at the online menu I'm not sure what the set dinner is, but I've done my best with it:

Piedmontese Menu
To Begin:

Affetato misto of Oliveto salumi:
violino di Chiavenna,
bresaola,
salame cruda,
with Fresh
porcini Mushroom conserva
To Begin

Affectionate... gaseous salami with olives?
Violin of something
Women's undergarments
Salami not-very-good
with fresh
pork and mushroom jam?
Antipasto:

Winter Root Vegetables,
Artichokes & Herbs
with castelmagno Cheese
At a walking pace

Fairly self-explanatory,
though I'm not sure what
it really all is
Intermezzo:

Italian Chestnut and grappa vellutata "Cappucino"
with Wild Mushroom duxelles
Bridge

Italian Chestnut and... fat grapes in swirly coffee
Wild Mushroom small ducks
Primo:

Agnolotti dal plin of Magruder Ranch vitello with White Truffle Butter
(or of Bellwether Farm Sheep's Milk ricotta and Parmesan )
Really fast and loud

Hmm. Stuck-together on a table Magruder Ranch... small musical instrument, with the taste of money
Secondo:

Magruder Ranch Wild Boar:
Spit-roasted Loin and Belly,
Shoulder Braised
with gigante Beans,
and polpettini with Wild Mushrooms

or

Local Petrale Sole Stuffed with White Shrimp and Hazelnuts with Wild Nettles

(Vegetarian entree also available)
Repeat from first verse

This one's in English
and I'm actually really
looking forward to it.
It has... enormous beans
and... small potted plants with wild mushrooms

Or!

Sole in Italian car fuel, with... wild nettles? Miserable vegetarians.
Dolce:

Chocolate Amaretto Bonet
Softly

Who cares, it has chocolate in it
