Simply Italy Part 2

As we were on a tour, some of the meals were included, although these were quite "basic". This particular dinner consisted of salad, pasta (choice of tomato or pesto), chicken and chips and a nectarine.

Pasta with pesto

Chicken and chips (Can you find the chicken?)

There was also the obligatory snacking while travelling so we tested out some of the "Italian" junk food... Paprika flavoured chips...

Lemon filled cookies...

Chocolate with hazelnuts...


and Grisbi biscuits with a Nutella-like filling.


Being, the middle of the Italian summer, we had gelato practically everyday. This one of guava and passionfruit was soo refreshing and really hit the spot.


In Sirmione, we were pressed for time and picked up a quick bite from this pizza place. Not bad for take away!




Something we spotted everywhere was these giant lemons which they use to make limoncello.


One night while we were in Venice we were too lazy to venture out for dinner so we tried out the 12 euro buffet at our hotel. There was a selection of antipasti, salads, pasta, veggies and seafood-gotta love a good buffet! :)
