My lycopene intake has been huge these last few days, nock. This Mediterranean diet I'm on (and I don't ignore the Negroamaro and the Primitivo and the Nero d'Avola) is damn good for me, though perhaps with a little too much mozzarella. Take a ripe avocado and slice it. Chop up half a pound of the tastiest tomatoes you can find. Slice up a nice big ball of mozzarella. Layer these ingredients informally in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Tear up some fresh basil over the lot and sprinkle everything with a good dose of the finest olive oil you have. Enjoy with a bit of fresh crusty bread and a bottle of Negroamaro. Tricolore salad with all the colours of the Italian flag. Put on your favourite Dylan album. You'll live forever, and even Dylan fanatics will forgive me once you've eaten this. If it really has to be tomato soup, it has to be pappa di pomodoro for me, cucina povera at its finest. Pick the bones out of that lot, non-Italian speaking Bob fans.
