I once saw a saying: If there is a city that can be stationed for a lifetime, it must be Rome. We've heard too many romantic stories about the city and seen too many beautiful lives. If you don't personally witness the beauty of the city, no matter how many stories can only be rumors, no matter how beautiful life can only be a news broadcast life. And in Rome, there is nothing more wonderful than eating anything you want.
One of the Roman landmarks, the Pantheon is dedicated to the ancient gods and a source of inspiration for Renaissance artists. At noon, take a lazy step to the pantheon, eat a pasta and feel the well-being of the gods. Fresh basil leaves are draped over spaghetti noodles, and the delicate fragrance of the delicate silk is hidden in the tomato sauce, giving the sweet and sour taste a refreshing aroma. Looking at the glorious hall in front of you, maybe the next psalm, the next amazing painting, will come from your hand.
After brunch, stroll idly to the Trevi Fountain. At this time, it is better to have an ice cream and wake up the stomach that is about to fall into a groggy state. Gelato in Italian means gelato, but everyone who has been to Italy insists that gelato and gelato are two things. That delicate taste, and the joy of jumping on the tip of the tongue, is something that no ice cream can bring. The sculpture of trevi fountain is of two seahorses, one violent and one docile, symbolizing the vagaries of the ocean. Come with a mango and mint flavored gelato, like two seahorses wandering in your mouth. The fruity aroma of mango is like a gentle seahorse, dense, moist, wrapped in if there is no fruit grain, bringing a warm experience; and the cool mint is like the grumpy seahorse, reckless and rampage, but it is not too exciting under the combination of mangoes, like a knight who has been disarmed and returned to the field, no longer sharp, leaving only a tender side.
A century-old Colosseum, a thousand years at a glance. Even though there are no more crazy beasts and roaring spectators here, the huge Colosseum still attracts the attention of tourists from all over the world. When the sun shines, the most relaxing and comfortable moment is to sit in front of the Colosseum and eat a serious lunch. Smoked chicken thighs with fried potatoes are perhaps the most common home-cooked food in Italy. Without too much decoration and no complicated plating, it is already clear when the meal is presented, and this meal will definitely bring a slow feeling of fruition. The chicken thighs are moderately smoked and dipped in the fat, which is not woody or greasy. Paired with tomatoes and a few vegetables, the juice slowly seeps through the texture of the chicken, and the taste is endless. Fork another piece of fried potatoes, the soft texture dissolves the last trace of greasyness of the chicken thigh meat, accompanied by fresh pomegranate juice, and a light meal at noon is also endlessly evocative. Looking at the clouds, the Colosseum in front of you is still in full swing. Let your thoughts run wild, maybe the joy of life is just that.
Seeing that the sun is about to set and the food in your belly is basically exhausted, it is better to choose a street stall and try the local snacks of Rome. At the wet market next to the Peace Altar Museum, you can buy a small piece of such shortbread to fill the boring afternoon. The Altar of Peace Museum, the first modern building in Rome after World War II, is somewhat out of place in this ancient city. And this little crepes seem to confirm this, because the taste does not taste like an Italian food at all. At first glance, it may seem like just a piece of pizza pancake with no filling. But the taste is completely different. The crispy crust creaks, but when you bite down, you find that it is not a crispy texture, but a soft dough body. The scattered shallots have the effect of Titian, although they can't taste the spicy taste at all, but the sensitive tongue tells you all the time that there is something strange in it.
This snack may represent a certain "city atmosphere" in Rome, just like the city. Never show your grandeur and greatness, but focus on small places, so that you will always get surprises from some inadvertent places and feel the beauty of the city.
Twilight is drowsy, and the day's food journey is coming to an end. If you really don't want To rome, then you might as well have another gelato. Who can easily say no to that? Walking north to Piazza del Popolo, the square that was once used for public executions is now in full bloom. This time, we can choose gelato's most unforgettable taste: pistachio Who would have thought that pistachios could have such a charming taste and taste? Perhaps only the Italians, who are supreme in food, can make such a pairing. The strange taste is not enough to describe for a while, and if I have to say what kind of taste it is, I think it is an addictive taste. It makes people want to eat it again and again, and they can never forget the taste.
It's not hard to explain why I've been eating gelato on the next trip to Italy...
