We saw lots of chestnuts (castagne?) when were over there, and quite a few porcini - in the markets if not the restaurants just yet.
And loads of prickly pears; a guy in Ballaro market peeled one for us, I can't say I found it very interesting. What's the right way to use these? Are they good?
But of Oranges and Lemons, hardly a sign. I guess it's not the season, can you enlighten us?
Hello, WY. Yes, "castagne" is right. Prickly pears - just to be eaten as they are. I like them. They are also used to make a liqueur. Oranges and lemons coming into season now - you just missed them! Hi, Anne. Me too. Still tightless here!x
Yum yum.
