I'll try anything once!

I'll try anything once is something I have tried to live by and being in Italy has definitely put this to the test. This is the start of the third day and so far I have tried a few things I never would have thought I would try. On our first night we went out to eat and with the menus being in Italian you aren't really sure what you are ordering, so we asked what was our server what her favorite was and that is what I ordered. What I had was called Florentine Gnudi with butter and sage and it was one of the best things I have ever tried. Seriously, this was the best way to spend our first night. The next day we went to an outdoor market and did a little shopping and there again I branched out and tried something new. I had what is called lampredotto, which is basically a type of sandwich with tripe (or sheep stomach). I had it with two types of sauce, a green and a red, they were a tad spicy and full of flavor. I was a little apprehensive about trying sheep stomach, but I have to say I am glad I did. The meat itself had a texture I wasn't use to, but once you got over that the lampredotto overall was really good. And to end the night we went out for dinner and tried real Italian pizza and it was amazing! I got the traditional pizza margherita, but we are all really open to sharing our food with everyone else in our group, so I was able to try a few other kinds as well. I surprised myself though when I tried a pizza with anchovies on it. This is definitely a one time only thing for me here, anchovies is not something I will be trying again anytime soon. After dinner, we of course, had to go get gelato which is the perfect end to any night. Overall our first few days in Italy have been amazing and I can't wait to see what else I can try in the next few weeks!
