The Eve of St. John in Bari and environs is an event but rather far from the sacred very close to the profane ... in fact all the families who have a John at home, and even those who do not, opened June 23 'u' askr "to all the relatives for a memorable dinner.
You may wonder what is "u 'askr" ... well it is a typical terrace house or just the larger balcony and hospitable that you own, but are not disdained even the white streets of our beautiful city centers or promenades of the coastal immense.
Obviously Eve St. John has been selected by tradition as the gateway to the summer period and therefore ideal for outdoor dining but also because these days they reach the peak of their ripeness components essential to the success of the dinner, namely mythical kllumb "or better" Fioroni "Bari!

The main feature of this type of figs is just the fact that they mature much earlier than their more famous similar and also have much larger than these, then, with a higher content of sweet pulp that make them delicious to palate.
Another basic component of the dinner is a first course 'the cavatidd ch' and the ruc rrcott "or cavatelli with arugula and ricotta hard, tradition has it that pasta is fresh and homemade by our beautiful housewives on the classic "ttavlir" ie polished wood bases suitable for mixing and producing by scouring with a knife or the tip of the index finger is the most famous cavatelli "dragged" or orecchiette
All washed down with one of our great wines of table or Salento strictly cold even if it is red ... we know it is very hot and even though our terraces June 23 expiry of a Levantine sweet and fresh ... not bad drinks served should be strictly fresh!
It 'important that in this magical evening, the main elements should unfailingly ... especially those that make dinner ... you could also do without him or her that have the name of John but fioroni or Cavatelli with arugula just not!
But in all seriousness on the evening of June 23 of each year has been for centuries a get-together of all the families and I think it's important for the rediscovery of spaces and places rarely visited during the year such as terraces or better yet the streets and promenades of our beautiful land of Puglia.
