Since food is one of the major reasons Ryan and I decided to come to Italy, it seems appropriate to write the first entry of our blog on the subject:
In a running tally of our favorite foods eaten so far, Ryan's No. 1 is a tripe sandwich he had for lunch in Florence (tripe is a cut of stomach - ewwww). Cooked in tomato sauce and with a squirt of hot peppers in oil on crusty bread, he has been talking about it ever since.
For me, top honors are tied between a Genoese pesto on pasta with potatoes and a dish called friggitelli – mild peppers cooked with tomatoes, garlic and basil in olive oil, with a generous amount of parmesan cheese added at the end. Benissimo!
