I went to Europe last summer for a few weeks. Got home. Food tasted terrible. Looked into it and changed my diet completely. Our food is a disgrace!
"Life is too short to eat mediocre ham."
Truer words were never spoken 😄
Quality food, quality mind then eudaimonia 😊
Rule of thumb was eat where local or students eat. Most of the time great value 😃👍
I did not know that about the ham
Love you rick grew up watching him 24 YO now
I remember eating at a restaurant in Italy and the waiter told us some of the ingredients came from his uncle's farm
There is no one more inspirational than Rick Steves
Zucchini flowers! I had no idea those were edible until i went to Italy and oh so good stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese and fried.
