Lemonhead 1 Posted February 8, 2011 What???/ No duck???Glad to hear that you had a great weekend! Lol! Indeed no Duck I'm not sure if it's readily available in Roma but no worries the local seasonal food was fantastic. Look out for Puntarelle alla Romana when you're in Rome around this time of the year it's the bast salad you'll ever have. Puntarelle is a variety of Catalonian chicory and it's mixed with a dressing made up of garlic, anchovy, white wine vinegar and olive oil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As we were there with Italian friends (including from Rome) we didn't get caught in any tourist traps and yes, weather like that does help! Shame I did not catch up with Monica though As for the rugby, I guess I'll be doing the crying when we get stuffed by the French on Sunday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
