Delicacies from a traditional Sardinian meal

No meal in Sardinia, and the rest of Italy, starts without aperitivo

Now in July, just for a little summer break from Rome’s hustle and bustle, I came up with the bright idea to spend a long weekend in Sardinia to enjoy some good sun and beach time. Or so I thought. From last Thursday, day of my arrival, right until Monday, when I came back to Rome, in fact, I was welcomed with rain, wind and cold-ish temperatures. Not wintery ones, but certainly not beach-inspiring either. Unless you are German, or British, that is.

Never mind, I still managed to enjoy the relaxed vibe, the tranquility of a no-traffic zone and, most of all, the local food. For the occasion, I’m gathering below the pictures I took during a typical fish-based Sardinian meal, to make you sense the spirit of the island’s traditions, to inspire you your next trip and also to make you drool a bit.

Enjoy the tasty ride!

"Zippole", another kind of pastries, definitely not in season now as they are made for Carnival. However, being some of my very favorite pastries, I can't deny I was very pleased for this out-of-context surprise
