I always associated them with the horribly over-sauced and mushy eggplant parmesan you find at
big chain Italian restaurants, that is until I got some in my CSA basket a few weeks ago and was forced to make them into something.
In February, Bertrams, the UK's second -
biggest book wholesaler, was sold to private equity backer Aurelius for half the sum it originally bid for the business (which itself seemed like a knock - down price for a business with sales of more than # 200m); last week the UK's
biggest high street book
chain Waterstones was sold to activist investor Elliott Advisors for a sum thought to be considerably less than its Russian owner Alexander Mamut once wanted; and this week the UK's
biggest printer of black and white books, Clays, with sales of # 77m, was sold to
Italian printer Elcograf for # 23.8 m.
