Eating in Italy is not what you think!

Interesting things to see and eat of course in Torino and Italy! 

First you have breakfast fare in the hotel....

  

Gelatine, fruit in a ball and panna cotta with a fruit topping...

Check it out. How cool. A hook under the edge of the table for your purse! 

Dinner at Il Gufo Bianco (the white owl) ..I had stuffed zucchini blossoms and homemade ravioli.

The dessert cart was AMAZING...they had to get a track to roll it outside over the threshold. 

Tim had TWO desserts - tiramisu and a chocolate dessert. 

 Berries for dessert - fragolina di bosco - tiny strawberries of the forest.

And currants...called ribes

Blueberries...called mirtilli...all with meringue. YUM.

Out and about this weekend, stopped at McDonald's for something quick. 

Got this - Insalata Cereali, basically Cereal Salad. I think it was Farro. 

Tasted like cardboard. 

 Yesterday, on our way to Sacra di San Michele, we stopped at a pizza place. 

Here was ONE page of the menu.

First course: Zeppoli con meat and acciuge (sardines, Tim's favorite!) 

Then the pizzas - mine had artichoke hearts, ham, mushroom and olives. 

Tim's? Yep, acciuge. 

Next: on to Porta Palazzo...the farmer's market.
