Actually I want to start with a recommendation for my favorite Roman restaurant, the Hostaria dal 31 near the Spanish Steps, in Via Carrozze.  Angelo has been serving up authentic Roman food for 35 years.

The dishes are of excellent quality and the prices are not excessive.  His roast suckling pig.

We had an apartment with a so-so kitchen and could shop..

.. and put together a few simple plates now and again.

Otherwise here without comment are some food pictures I snapped over two weeks, for people, like my family, who can never get enough of these.

I did not eat here.

Nor buy any of these.

Thanks for coming along !
