P is for Pannini
Every trip to Rome finds me the Piazza dei Fiore for the out door market, absorbing the good vibes, checking that the elderly man who sells vegetable cutters (reminds me of those paid TV infomercials) is still alive.
Then I am off to the Pannini store just around the corner. No matter if it is too early of lunch, they will wrap it and put it in a plastic bag for me to have later.
Perhaps it is the wonderful smell of hot bread wafting down the street that attracts me. The selection is great and often I can find tacchino (turkey) since I do not enjoy the ham selections available. Are there more than 50 types of pork in Italy?
