Grande Milly

Ok… Let me explain.

I’ve been in Italy for the first time for the last 2 weeks. So far, food have been good, but I’m a bit tired of just eating pizza or pasta.

I did get some fish or lamb once which was great, but maybe I don’t understand how Italian cuisine work, but where are the veggies?

In Canada, the meal is always coming with vegetables, potatoes, rice, etc. I think I got potatoes twice so far, but I’m starting to miss broccoli, carrots, asparagus, etc.

I read other similar topics before creating this one. saying the food is bland. For me, it’s not necessarily bland, it’s good. It’s just not what I expected from everyone saying Italy has the best pizza or pasta in the world.

Or maybe the Italian cuisine isn’t just for me? I had some good food in Spain and Iceland that better fit what I like. A mix of meat and vegetables.

Sure, I can always cook my own stuff, but I’m not Italian and it won’t be Italian food. Or maybe it’s just Italian restaurants? Maybe if I would stay with a local it would be different?

I’m not even in a touristic destination. I‘ve been on the Tuscany coast and now I’m on the Ligurian coast.

Maybe I also missed out the contorno on the menu… But I’m sure I didn’t see it everywhere.

Anyway. Thank you for reading.

PS: Just want to add that the croissant I ate are very dry compared to the buttery ones I find at home. They don’t seem to use butter anywhere.

Terrible day for our defenders. Osmajic played well at least.

De Rossi has been confirmed at the helm but the choir of critics is raising the volume.
