It's difficult. It's so so difficult. I have spent so much of my life eating gluten. I love sandwiches. I love hamburgers. Hell, I love aht.seriouseats.com. I can't get enough. I was going to write about Kevin Williamson vs. Darren Star and instead I'm going to do a photo-dump of the delicious food I ate in Italy.
in memoriam of the food i will no longer eat. part one
 |
| Siena: I Maestri Lunch. Eggplant Parmigiana |
 |
| Siena: Typical Breakfast on the way to class |
 |
| Siena: This is the kind baby face that let me know I had successfully ordered Naturale water > Frizzante. |
 |
| Firenze: Calzone |
 |
| Siena: Antipasto at Civette Contrada Dinner |
 |
| Firenze: Deluxe Cafe cream cheese bagel. I have no idea why it was so good, but it so was. |
 |
| Firenze: Beef Carpaccio + Rocket Salad |
 |
| Siena: My first Italian breakfast: salami, pecorino and eggplant. |
 |
| Rome: Best gnocchi ever. Cheese filled and covered in truffles and olive oil. |
 |
| Siena: My first pizza. Eggplant. Delicious. I was so excited by how good it was I accidentally threw half a slice at a wall. |
 |
| Cinque Terre: Bacon&Egg on Toast |
 |
| Firenze: This was a different experience for me, thicker pizza with airpockety crush. The moral of this photo is to be nice to Italians and they will reward you with free pizza lunch. |
 |
| Siena: Fish pizza. I could taste it for the rest of the day. |
 |
| Firenze: Monte Cristo like breakfast sandwich. Good, but I forgot that I can't handle the heaviness of Monte Cristos |
 |
| Siena: Osteria Nonna Gina's' secret sauce without nuts! Except it did have nuts and you might have a situation where you have to run and get an epi pen and then run and call an ambulance. Dinner and an adventure all in one! |
 |
| Siena: Pizza Trofea! Best $2.50 pizza ever! I don't know why this combination was everywhere because I always just ate the hotdog bits first and then the pizza ever. |
 |
| Siena: I am the worst sweets eater. I will only eat gelato limone. Any other flavour and I will be a sticky complaining mess. |
 |
| Milan: Artichoke, mushroom, olive pizza. I'm not a fan of olive pizza that I can't bite into, but hey olives = good. |
 |
| Rome: Parpadelle with wild boar sauce. |
 |
| Siena: I Maestri. Pici with ragu. Pici is like thicker spaghetti and it's Siena's top shit. |
 |
| Volterra: Margherita Pizza, perfect post Torture Museum nausea. |
 |
| Cinque Terre: Pizza Diavola |
To be honest, the best thing about the pizza diavola was the atmosphere (and it was delicious, what am I saying?). We were sitting on the rocks drinking red wine and watching daredevil Americans jump off cliffs.
And this would be it in the daytime.
 |
| Totally beautiful. |
It was all pretty amazing. I'm going to do a part two very shortly. I just didn't want to go too crazy with the photo dump.
love
