Farmer's Market in Rome

 What a great adventure we had exploring this farmers market just a few miles from our apartment!!! Many thanks go to our new American friends, the Meachams, for sharing Rome's surprises!  

You name it....they sold it....all fresh from the farm or ocean or bakery or cheese shop! There were probably around 100 booths in this open but covered market place.

What is that curious looking pastry? It is an Italian delectably delicious treat called Sfogliatelle (pronounced in one dialect ... Svie-uh-dell and in another dialect ... sfol-ya-tel-le). 

It was an awesome surprise to our favorite treat at one of the many booths. Can you see the crispy puff pastry in the shape of a shell or a lobster tail? This one was filled with a special delicious custard mixture.  It was fun to introduce our friends to one of our favorite treats!   Molto delizioso!!!

Here is a video glimpse at this fun place. Enjoy!
