That is true. Although when I say I like fresh it is usually in the impulse of making food and wandering through my garden to smell what would finish off the meal suitably. Oh those drying rinds are a wonderful perfume!
Where are you in Italy? It was one of my favourite countries to visit when I lived in England. Although sadly I spent less than a week there and 3 days of that time in Rome. I don't like cities, I much prefer the country and quaint old villages. I still have a friend who lives on the eastern coast
Ahh, me too, @buckaroobaby - I dislike cities enormously, and am excited at the prospect of never having to visit one ever again ;-D I live around an hour from Naples and two from Rome - inland in the foothills of the Matese mountain range: Guardia Sanframondi, BN - it's absolutely a quaint old citadel! If you're ever passing through Italy again, I'll get the kettle on!
Thank you for the invite. Your mountain range home sounds delightful!
