Ok, I admit it, when we travel we are foodies. It doesn't have to be fancy but it does have to be fresh and good. Europe began the idea of what we like to call "locally sourced" food. Our figs at La Caminetto were from Moreno's father's garden, so were the tomatoes. They either grow what they eat or visit the market each morning and buy what is good then decide what will be for dinner. There are stores dedicated just to cheeses, others for meats and of course the bakeries for pastries and breads. A foodies paradise.
This morning we left Varenna, Italy, bused back to Lugano, Switzerland, then drove to Ascona, Switzerland. It is another lakeside community where we discovered an amazing black truffle pizza. Truffles are just coming into season in northern Italy. Our dinner was not complete until we had our chocolate gelato. Belissima!
