it's a me - mario!

i haven't been to milan in 4 years.  nothing's changed.  probably just more chinese tourists.  but this time someone tried to rob me in front of duomo until they realized i had nothing in my pockets.  




ristorante la specialita...just your basic trattoria pizzeria in the heart of milan.  english menus and english speakers.  and i just stuffed my face with pizza and cured meats like i did the entire trip.  pizza is light...and the cured meats...well they are absolutely phenomenal.  going home with swollen hands from the high sodium was totally worth it.  


this culatello...a "refined" version of prosciutto makes it almost like the spanish iberico jamon.  so tasty...the cured smoky flavor penetrates every part of your mouth leaving your taste buds tingling and ur nostrils twinging at the smoky profile.  then you take a bite of that stratchiatella cheese....where the creamy consistency melts in your mouth but still holds it shape and u bite into that cheesy goodness.  oh man.  OH MAN!
