LIFE UNLEASHED

Italians are known for their love of food but the one food they love more than anything is Gelato (Italian ice cream).  There are Gelato bars on practically every corner of the major cities and even the smallest towns will have a couple Gelaterias.  If you have never had good homemade Italian Gelato you have simply not lived.  

We tried as hard as we could to not have the same flavour twice.  We had….

Hazelnut, Honey Cream, Pistachio, Coffee, Banana, Sour Cherry, Chocolate, Nutella, Tartufo, Mora Berry, Raspberry, Lemon Basil, Stratichella, Mint Stratichella, Dark Chocolate Cherry, Coffee, Zuppa Englese, Strawberry, Mixed Berry, Cherry Cream, Chocolate Fondante, Biscotti, Rose, Peach, Peaches and Cream, Peach and Orange, Orange Cream, Fior De Latte with Sesame, Fresh Mint, Kiwi, Caramel Pear, Green Apple,  Saffron, Fior De Latte Raspberry, Zabione Vin Santo, Saffron, Cinnamon, Cappuccino and Rum, Blueberry, White Mint, Liquorice, Toasted Pine Nuts and Cream, Ricotta and Lemon, Zabaglione, Lemon, Orange, Dark Chocolate

We visited some of the best places in Italy according to what we read in guidebooks and researched on line.  We kept a log and rated them on taste and quality.  Yes, I can make gluttony seem like a hobby.  If anyone is coming to Italy and needs a tip on where to get your best gelato fix just ask us - we‘ll hook you up. 

Oh, and please whatever you do, do not come to Italy and buy pre-made ice cream bars in corner stores.  I have taken to randomly slapping  the few foreigners I have seen do this.  So one day if you are in Rome sucking on a Creamcicle Brand frozen treat, don’t be surprised if one of us races out of the shadows, knocks your lame popsicle from your hand and gives you a smackin‘.
