Who would have thought potato pizza could be so very good. Today, I ate where the Italians eat fast food style. I am having trouble uploading my pictures still. The woman explained how it was made, with great pride. It seemed to taste of butter and when I asked her she said "no no, no only extra virgin olio and fresca" I do not know the recipe for the dough although she mentioned "farina" which translates the same way in english.
Very thinly sliced potatoes are put on the dough with a lot of olive oil and a little rosemary. The potatoes are translucent when done then the mozzarella is put on top and melted. The mozzarella is a lot different over here...it does not bounce and is delicious.
Unhappily, the Italian young men have adopted the baggy pants syndrome, very disappointing as I was looking forward to seeing some nice bottoms over here. Oh dear, the US has a whole lot to answer for. Perhaps they figured out that women enjoy looking and they prefer not to be sexualized. Anybody got a good theory? Would love to hear it.
Saw the Parthenon and was surprised it is a church now. All those glorious vain popes and gilt have detracted from it, in my opinion. The ceiling is astounding and original, perfect proportions and very grand. I did not take a picture as it seemed too postcardy and anyone can get a picture. More tomorrow.
