The Mythical Bolognese

Well.....we were wondering if such a dish existed, especially after last night's adventures !!

We popped into "Eataly" for dinner last night: it's a restaurant & shop chain set up by the Slow Food movement (quite big in this part of Italy).

Can someone explain to me how a restaurant in Bologna....runs out of Bolognese ??

Also...can someone explain how restaurant can't make up a plate of cheeses & salami when the restaurant is being run out of the freakin' deli where WE CAN SEE THE CHEESES & SALAMI on display ??

And...while I'm on a rant...since when does "al dente" mean "raw in the middle" ??

Right....now that I've had my little rant.......we had a lovely plate of tagliatelli al ragu (tagliatelli with bolognese) today.......in Modena !!
