Another really interesting discussion Luca!!!! I’m afraid, I am not a great lover of ‘suppli’ or ‘arancini’ or any of the other names that are out there. Maybe I have been unlucky, but the ones I have tried in the past would have been more use as missiles than street food!!!!! I will make a point of trying one in Rome next time I am there……Lucy
Another interesting trip through Italian cuisine, entertaining as ever, thank you Luca.
