After spending 10 days far away in a country that really knows how to do food right, I’ve headed back home. A 4am cab ride to the Torino airport in which I took a short flight to Rome airport. At the Rome airport, I thought it was time to have my last cappuccino in Italy. After 10 days of thoroughly enjoying coffee in this country, I knew the routine. Pay at the cashier and belly up to the bar with your receipt and enjoy a delicious cup of espresso with frothy steamed milk made right in front of you in a ceramic cup.
Imagine my disappointment when I was given a cappuccino in a lousy red and white cup. Major bummer. This was nothing like the drink I’d had when I landed in Milan last week. I guess it was just as well since I needed to come back down to reality. Once home, there would be plenty of paper cups.
Stay tuned, I’ll be posting both words and photos about the food and drink I enjoyed during my adventure to Terra Madre.
