Sacla is a winner, and there's no need for penalties!

With Italy besting England on penalties I wanted to take out my frustration and anger on Sacla's Italian sauces, pasta and pastes.
But the rich Mediterranean flavours had me full of amore once more for Italian cuisine.
I was sent another box of delights.
What arrived at Freeloader House was as refined and sophisticated as Italy's midfield maestro Andrea Pirlo, rather than bland and disappointing like England's James Milner.
Assorted treats included a box of beautiful conchiglie pasta shells, which when combined with tomato and olive sauce (again Sacla's) went down like a Ukrainian electric storm.
And while this Euro 2012 analogy is looking as tired as Scott Parker after a shift in midfield, I have to say the huge tub of Italian tomato sauce really hit the back of the net.
Other new additions to Sacla's range are vine-ripened tomato and mascarpone sauce and Italian tomato and olive paste.
I wonder if, in some Italian village or town, there's an 'Il Caricatore Gratuito Blog' where an anonymous chap spends his time reviewing Melton Mowbray pork pies or some other English staple.For more info go to www.sacla.co.uk
