Some of the parts of the world, I'm not so sure.<BR/><BR/>While you're tackling castronomic oddities, I kept running into pizzas with "speck" — a term appearing in none of my Italian/English phrasebooks — when I was over there. If you can find out what speck is, I'd be grateful.DPLassenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620842033254599831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862669708064765240.post-48928554627727600182008-01-24T13:03:00.000-08:002008-01-24T13:03:00.000-08:00In my earlier life, a cavallo pannini would defini...In my earlier life, a cavallo pannini would definitely have been consumed, but not now. On the other hand, linguine alla vongole is one of my favorite meals, especially when accompanied by a crisp white wine. Some other suggestions for gastronomic experimentation: Osso Buco (a definite for meat lovers); Pasta Puttanesca (otherwise known as "Harlot's Pasta in honor of Rome's ladies of the evening); Cozze al Forno or Fettucine con Cozze will take clams to a new level of experience; Riso di mare fritti (also a favorite of mine, again as long as there is a nice crisp white wine) will allow you to experience the bounty of the ocean which surrounds you. Buon apetite!!Dick Bellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15179969031373660356noreply@blogger.com
