Paninis make life better


Ever since I was a little girl I have always...I mean always loved food.  I have never been a picky eater, actually I will do quite fine with potato chips as a snack..but I do appreciate good food as well.  Of course I was expecting delicious Italian pasta and scrumptious pizza here in Italy.  But, what really surprised me was the simple, yet always fresh foods that are located everywhere in Rome.  After a long discussion during our first day of class I was starving, and tired so I figured I would stop at the nearest place to get food.  Mike suggested to stop at a bar (cafe), right down the street from our school.  I picked the first thing that I saw in the window, which was a simple tomato, mozzarella and lettuce panini.  I figured anything would fulfill my hunger at this point...but as I took the first bite I was astounded at the delicious mouthful of flavors I was indulging.  To add on the the incredible taste, it was only 2 euros!  After this experience I will no longer ever eat a panini, unless I am of course in Italy.  I plan to study the different kinds of paninis that are all over Rome and Italy and compare the different cafes where the paninis are offered.
