Today was an interesting food day for me. I had two nice
meals without cooking anything, which is rare around here. For pranzo (lunch), Zia had
suggested getting food from Ristorante Netti. On my walk back from the train
station this afternoon, I stopped by and picked up portions of lasagna and
parmagiana. It touristy parts of Italy, you can find multiple types of
parmagianas. Here in rural, non-touristy Italy, there is only one type,
melanzane (eggplant). Netti uses a bolognese meat sauce with theirs, and it is
savory and delicious.
For cena (dinner), I was super excited to head to the food truck
festival in town for the weekend. I’m hoping tomorrow has more options. There were
some trucks serving burgers and pork sandwiches. I had one of the port
sandwiches and it wasn’t the best I’ve had. The bread wasn’t very good. Other
places had arrosticini (meat sticks), arancini di riso (rice balls), Panini di
salsiccia (sausage sandwiches), and pastries.
