Food Style? Italian
I'm so tired after walking the whole day and I just want food, and I want it quick so I can catch the sunset of my final day in Cinque Terre. I've gone for the seafood spaghetti with the intent to have a tiramisu for dessert. Probably no alcohol for me today.
Primo Piatto
Spaghetti with mixed seafood
The plate arrives and the food is wrapped in tinfoil. Interesting! I've got seen this done on MKR before and it was a disaster. This however is not too bad. There's a lot of seafood - clams, mussels, prawns, squid - but I wish there was a nice sauce that went with it, especially as the bread is doing nothing by itself. I don't like that I have to peel the prawns too, but I do like they kept the prawn heads in. Definitely the weakest meal I've had in Italy, but it wasn't unenjoyable. Can the tiramisu save the meal?
Dessert
Tiramisu
It's also okay. It's been drowned in so much liquor that the sponge disintegrates in my mouth. But it tastes fine. Not the best way to end my time here, but I've had a good run in Riomaggiore.
