FALL FOOD IN ROME

The season is changing here in Rome.  I came across a wonderful display outside a restaurant near Trevi Fountain yesterday I thought you would enjoy.  It's funny, here in Rome many of the restaurants love to display their fresh mushrooms to lure people in!!  I have been getting an eyefull!!

There are also the chestnuts sold on the corner roasted the old fashioned way with logs. 



The Romans have reasonable portions, but I still see some waste at restaurants because it is not common or fashionable to take home any leftovers.  Like Greece, you just leave it to show a status symbol.

FOOD WASTE REDUCTION IN ROME     * * * ( Portion size EXCELLENT, but low score due to no takehome boxes and people over ordering)
