Food Blog

I’ll be making a seperate site for a report on my Sicily trip, but I’ll be posting some quick thoughts here.

A trip like this always starts with the airline food. Alitalia’s food wasn’t bad. The beef was nice and tender, the pasta was al dente and it didn’t taste like it had been frozen and reheated repeatedly like most airlines. I heard some Americans remarking about the ‘nasty coffee which was all foamy’ but to get an Italian coffee (what we’d call an espresso) with crema, while on a plane was quite a treat.

Next: Gelato in Monreale and Pasta in Palermo. Then a visit to the market, and later, the best pizza, cannoli and marzipan you could ever have.
