Here is a short excerpt from my sons writings about his trip, musing about the food in Italy...

"The food in Italy is great overall, but after spending three months in Nepal and Tibet, I found all I wanted to do was eat! Funghi and olive pizza, prosciutto and mozeralla panini (sandwiches), the best gelato (ice cream) I've ever had, I figured the 10 kilos I lost trekking would come back in the first twenty four hours."

Sounds like he was having a food orgy, in Italy..

I think prosciutto is ham
they used to sell it in Italian stores in my old neighborhood
someone told me pizza was invented in Philadelphia (I wonder if that is true?)
I guess it was like he was on a huge long camping trip in mountains
I can understand why all he wanted to do was eat when he got to Sicily
he just didn't have enuf tasty food for long time
