The GOODS from Campagnolo Roma

Vancouver, BC | Campagnolo ROMA will host Quinto Quarto, a dinner served alla famiglia, showcasing offal, at communal tables, on Wednesday November 9 at 9pm. Quinto Quarto refers to offal, the “fifth quarter” of the animal that Roman butchers often kept for themselves. Traditionally, in Rome, cattle was divided into quarters; the first “quarto” was dedicated to be sold to the nobles, the second for the clergy, the third for the middle class and the fourth “quarto” for the soldiers. The poor or lower class could only afford the entrails or fifth “quarto”. Offal, in Roman cooking, is as important as any of the outer quarters, fore and hind. Details and menu after the jump…
