Travel Food Pics: Italy Edition

I don't have to tell you guys that Italy is known for its food....and we definitely made it our jobs to prove that fact. We ate many delicious treats during our 8 days of Italian glory, but not everything was wonderful.This was the nastiest THING I can remember ever choosing to put in my mouth. We had decided that each day on the trip, one of us would by an exotic treat for everyone to share. Right outside the Colloseum was this innocent-enough-looking cart selling pizza and sandwhiches and this year-old stale dried fruit "pastry." blech.


Giolitti's- the most famous gelateria in Rome. Known for their nut flavors such as hazelnut, almond and pistachio.


The only salad I think I ate the whole week and it was amazing. Beef, apple, walnut and a sweet creamy dressing.

A delicious and sinful dessert drink in Venice.


Talk about a food obsessed country! This sweet shop did not in fact sell any food items. Everything you see above are soap products disguised as food! How weird is that?


The central market in Florence is incredible. Above you can see super touristy shaped pastas. See if you can find the penises!


Balsamic glazes and other sauces.



Yum?
