Today at lunch, one of the most interesting things that I
had was just one of the four parts to my hot antipasta. Sitting in a delicious
tomato and garlic sauce was a fish meatball. They had ground a white fish (cod?)
and mixed in normal meatball spices and ingredients. The two polpette di pesce
(balls of fish) were definitely something I will try to make one day using my
meat grinder.

I also tasted a fruit for the first time over the weekend,
and fell in love. I’ve had grapes millions of times, but never Uva di Fragola
(strawberry grapes). They look like regular grapes, but they taste like sweet strawberries.
Very interesting.
