They gave us a little souvenir as we left the restaurant! #balsamic @ Osteria Francescana https://t.co/Hv21B8LMOk

Me: They forgot to put the chocolate sprinkle on my cappuccino!

Rodd, embarrassed: Only Australians do that!! 😂

Today’s adventure – walking food tour of Modena. We had cappuccino and gnocco fritto for breakfast, visited the covered market, and sampled multiple Parmigiano cheeses and Balsamic vinegars! https://t.co/MEFBTMcrrk

Then a selection of tigelle, followed by several desserts at a traditional pasticceria. Check my Instagram for more photos! https://t.co/0hjr5otNSy

@gilmae Feeling very very fortunate we were able to do this, and only slightly stressed that it was a foolish thing to do in light of the risk, and in deep denial that we’ll probably be in lockdown all winter. Mixed bag, really. (But it was nice!)

Final meal in Modena was at a trattoria recommended by our tour guide. I had local specialities tortellini in brodo (broth) and beef fillet with balsamic vinegar, while the Snook went with tagliatelle al ragu and roast goat! (He was in heaven.) 🐐 https://t.co/MSWYAcH1Ol

Inspired by the food tour today, we spent dinner trying to come with the top 5 iconic Sydney food stops. Coffee Alchemy, Batch brewing, Marrickville pork roll were all easy selections. But what else? Fish markets? Meat pie? Chinatown dim sum?
