Would you eat one? |
Something I didn't expect was the narrow variety of foods here. Pretty much, if you don't like pasta, prosciutto, and pizza, with a little wild boar thrown in (chingiale, see picture), you're starving. No Mexican, no Chinese (although I hear you can buy frozen sushi in some stores), no burgers.

Pizza By the Slice |
The kids often choose a slice of potato pizza at the pizzeria near San Rufino and our apartment for a little variety.

Sunday we went to a festival where you tasted all the best of the town, from restaurants at the top of the hill serving appetizers to the restaurants at the bottom of the hill serving desserts. At the pasta restaurant, they were selling the black truffles that they had cooked in the pasta. Kira kept thinking they were chocolate, and not dug out of the ground. Too bad they were $60/pound our I would have let her taste one.
At the winery nearby, they let the children taste olive oil while Dad tastes the good stuff.
