As I said in my note: Vox populi advise us to keep untranslated the name PESTO. So, take my suggestion as "Pesto and balsamic vinegar".
moken Jan 18, 2005:
Hi Chivi - to avoid confusion, note that all contributors have recommended using the term "pesto" and not Genovese sauce. :O) :O)

Vox populi advise us to keep untranslated the name PESTO. So, please use \"Pesto and balsamic vinegar\".
Peer comment(s):
neutral swisstell : totally agree with the Balsamic Vinegar but you are off the mark on Pesto (which I wouold leave as is). Pesto is based on basilico and not a Genovese specialty and far from the concoction listed. Pesto sauces can be bought nowadays internationally.

Thank you, SwissTell, but you must give the credit to the creators of the sauce. Look at the new examples I've brought in.
