We blew our budget on food last month. We figured we might as well since there won’t be anything nearly as enticing in Scandinavia, where we are headed next.
Generally, everything was delicious in France and Italy. Food is such an important part of their culture that, other than tourist traps, restaurants just don’t serve bad food. We tried to find authentic local eateries whenever possible, and I don’t think we went wrong once. Plus, wine was great and cheap. Most restaurants had great-value house wines by the glass or carafe.
Here are our favorite meals from the month:
 |
| Risotto in tomato sauce with prawns, in Saint Paul de Vence, France |
 |
| Artichoke gnocchi in Venice, Italy |
 |
| Squid in squid ink sauce with polenta in Venice, Italy |
Ten-course family-style feast in Panzano in Chianti. We ate every part of the cow.
And here are some of our favorite quick eats in France and Italy:
 |
| Focaccia in Camogli, Italy |
 |
| Gelato, which is always just around the corner in Italy. This is a gelateria in Nice, France |
 |
| Fresh produce from markets in France |
 |
| And, of course, baguettes and croissants in France. |
