Many years ago, I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer. The first time we stayed there, we heard the chug chug-chug of a motorbike making its way down the hill toward us. It was a neighbour called Mario, coming to bring us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine. It was a very nice gesture for him to make. But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were worried because they were so misshapen: not at all like the nice, round, shiny things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label (标签) on it. These can’t be any good, we thought. But we were thankful for his kindness, so we tried them. 多年前，我在加尔法尼亚纳买了一所房子，如今每年夏天我们仍会前往。初次入住时，我们听见一阵 “突突突” 的摩托车声从山上朝我们驶来。原来是邻居马里奥，他带来一箱西红柿和一瓶葡萄酒。他此举十分贴心。但看着那些西红柿，我们有些担忧 —— 它们形状歪歪扭扭，完全不像超市里圆润光亮的模样。那瓶酒也很浑浊，装在一只古怪的旧瓶子里，没有标签。我们心想，这些肯定不怎么样。不过，我们感激他的好意，还是尝了尝。
What we discovered is that it’s unwise to judge what you eat only by its appearance. Those tomatoes had taste that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child. Nowadays supermarket tomatoes look perfect but taste of water. Nobody’s going to have a happy memory of those. It’s a surprise they haven’t managed to grow square ones so that they can pack them easily. Mario’s wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle, but it was perfect. 我们发现，仅从外观评判食物是不明智的。那些西红柿的味道让我想起小时候叔叔种的西红柿。如今超市里的西红柿看似完美，吃起来却寡淡如水。没人会对它们产生美好的回忆。奇怪的是，他们居然没设法种出方形的西红柿，这样就能方便打包了。马里奥的酒或许浑浊，又装在旧瓶子里，但口感绝佳。
It’s good to eat things at the correct time, when they’re in season, and as close as possible to where they were grown. What Mario had given us was the taste of the Garfagnana. 应时应季、尽可能食用产地邻近的食物，这再好不过。马里奥给我们的，是加尔法尼亚纳的味道。
