Don’t Knock It…

Pear and ricotta gelato

Rio Mare Tonno e Piselli
…til you try it. Sometimes that can be the case with food. Rio Mare, a purveyor of canned tuna in Italy, makes cans of tuna with different veggies that sit in oil. My favorite has been the Tonno & Piselli (tuna with peas). These Rio Mare treats can be found in some US supermarkets and specialty stores. Near Cherry Hill, I know Croce’s market sells some Rio Mare products.


While out for a passiagiatta (evening stroll) last night I tried two types of interesting gelato. One was fig in a rum flavored gelato, and the other was a pear and ricotta gelato. Both are flavors that are uncommon, but both were delicious.
