This post is dedicated to all the food lovers!
I have been in Italy for almost a week now and the consumption of my food has been carbs! ( I am definitely not complaining, except maybe when I get back home and can't put my jeans on..ha) My daily meals has consisted of pizza, pasta, and croissants! Every morning is usually started with a croissant and nutella...mhmmm. Today was my first cappuccino in a little bar right outside of the Colosseum. In Italy, whenever eating in a "bar/snack bar" if you order food and sit down your price of your meal will almost double in price. So I have learned to eat standing or eat on the go. Today's experience of drinking a cappuccino with the fellow native Italians in a small little bar made me beam with joy. Do they really do this every morning/afternoon/evening? Could you imagine Starbucks back in the states doubling the price of a grande coffee if we were to sit down? Starbucks and Peet's coffee places are already crowded as it is, I couldn't imagine all of those people standing. Although I am a strong Peet's lover, I can't compare the cappuccino and experience to a Peet's coffee. The guy working behind the bar probably got a chuckle out of me as I sat there smiling and taking pictures of my cappuccino and croissant. Ah the little things in life!!!
And as for the pizza here....delicious! This is not Papa Murphy's or Mountain Mikes. I have had multiple types of pizza over the course of the week, but my most favorite was today's. A thin crust, spicy salami, basil, and mozzarella pizza! Devoured in minutes!
As for the sweets, one can't complain with getting a cold gelato to cool yourself down during the hot, sunny day. I have only had one thus far. ( I know surprising coming from someone who could skip dinner and go straight to dessert) .
Okay enough rambling about food, hope I have left all of you reading salivating.... :)
