I once had a pine nut gelato in Rome - one of the best things I've ever tasted and never found it again though I always search.

My 🇫🇷 husband did his baccalaureate year in Rome. Needless to say, he became a huge fan of gelato.

I love that you weave personal experiences with food history together & add a recipe at the end. Thanks for your work. I’ve signed up for quite a few substacks, but yours is the only one I stop to read.

Ah so that’s what makes gelato so amazing. Best one I ever ate was in Trapani, Sicily. White chocolate but with none of the over sweetness usually associated with white chocolate. I love all the legends you mention!
