Since we have mentioned in the past that we are foodies, I thought I should write a bit about some of the food that we have encountered over the past two months. (Two months already?? Wow.)
First off, the cuisines are very regional here. More meat and cheese here in Tuscany, more fish by the coasts, lots of great sweet treats down south, and the pizza is different in every city. I wouldn't say that we have had a favorite cuisine, but that we have liked certain aspects of each one very much.
Second, it cannot be described how good some of the fresh produce is. We have had some of the best fruit we have ever had here; the strawberries are fantastic, and the cherries are easily the best we have ever tried. Both are far juicier than the types we are used to.
Lastly, Lucia and I have been discussing Italian cuisine in general. We came to the conclusion that it's not really that the food here is that much better than in the US, it's that the ingredients they use are so much fresher, which in turn makes the meals taste that much better.
We have been trying to learn some new recipes to take home with us, too. Only one month more to find some more tasty dishes!
Arrivederci!
