Carrot and Italian food.

This is not an ordinary carrot. 
So, I'm sure that this doesn't happen to everyone who goes to Italy. After going into the Duomo I decided that I didn't want to climb the bell tower and so I decided to wait around the plaza area where there are lots of tourists, street vendors, and street artists. I sat down in a chair in front of the long line of street artists. Suddenly, this street artist walks over to me, half of a carrot already stuffed in his mouth, he handed me a carrot,

"Here, Carrot!"
Me: "Oh no, it's okay!"
"Carrot! It's very natural! Sweet, it's sweet."
Me: "Uh... uhh... agghh. Okay! Thanks!" 

Lol, yes I took a carrot from a stranger. But it was actually pretty sweet. I didn't die, so it was safe... Thank goodness. I sat there and finished my carrot awkwardly...

Italian story of my life...

Had some Gnocchi. 
I'm never going to eat Gnocchi alone ever again. :/ I got so tired of it because it just tasted so dang cheesy. Sucky thing about Italian restaurants is that most of have a cover/service charge, like €2 per person. And they charge for water, a limited amount of water. So I didnt get any water. And I was gunna die from thirst and boredom of the cheesy Gnocchi taste.
  



I found Hmong sausages! 
;D I wanted to try them, but I wouldn't have had anything to cook it in :(
  

Best Calzone's ever. And only €2.50 each!
   

My thoughts on Italian pasta.
It's a lot oilier than artificial American Italian pasta. But it's delicious! And theres actually a lot of meat. I'm thinking that the meat is more fatty. There seemed to be more meat than sauce which was delicious! I was sooo hungry, I regret gobbling and not savoring every bit of Italian pasta that was in my dish.

Confessions




Finally, I'm out of Italy! But I must confess . . . I've had at least 2 scoops of gelato for everyday that I was in Italy. These are few of the pictures that I took with my gelatos. teehee x)
 
The best Gelato in Milan. First they coat the inside of the cone with melted drizzling milk, white or dark chocolate, I chose white. And then they nicely top off scoops onto the cone. But its not just the look that is appealing. The flavors are delicious! Whenever I get gelato I always want something that is chocolaty sweet or sugar creamy, in other words: Not fruity. This time I actually got strawberry and it was delicious!! :)
  
In Europe, Alcohol is so casual. They want it everywhere, any time of the day, even in Gelato...
  
But of course, I didn't get the alcoholic icy desert.
  
We went back to Milan and this was the last legit Italian gelato I will ever have for a very long time. :( Funny cause I got it from this Asian restaurant x) But it was deeeelicious, you can see the delicious creamy goodness is about to drip.
