This year I had the chance to spend a few
days in Italy as part of our grand Euro Trip. I have to admit that, compared to
France, Italy was really nothing much, at least from what I saw. I didn’t like
them Italian drivers, either – speeding like mad and not indicating whether
they would like to take a turn or go straight on, which basically turns the
experience of driving along the Italian motorways into complete hell!
Anyways. What I DID like was the food! We spent
about two hours in a huge supermarket on or last day in Piacenza, stocking up
on all sorts of yummy supplies which are hard or impossible to find in Bulgaria
– various kinds of pasta, balsamic vinegar, pickled artichokes, high-class
olive oil, etc. Of course, I HAD to buy something sweet – after all, we were
looking forward to an eight-hour drive to the Croatian Mediterranean coast, and
no sweet for me means no life! So, casually looking at all the different
biscuits and cookies, I glanced upon a couple of types of Tiramisu, shyly
standing in the refrigerated section of the store. The only really good
Tiramisu I had tried before I had got it from here, so I didn’t expect actually
anything much. I thought that this was just another hype, the same as Paris –
talked about a lot but nothing much really. That’s why I simply bought the cheapest
Tiramisu available at the store.
