Actually OG has a few dishes that are close to the real deal - but rarely do we encounter dishes in Italy that are so laden with garlic. Also, American Italian restaurants love to serve chicken - and out of literally hundreds of meals in Italy and I think I have been offered a chicken dish once, maybe twice. It is primarily seafood - clams, mussels, calimari, octopus, sardines (not the awful kind you get in a can)- prosciutto, sausages and some bolognese style (tomato and meat-based sauce). We had a Caprese salad at lunch yesterday high on some mountainside outside of Sorrento that was to die for. We just saw a sign that indicated there was a restaurant and drove up the hill....just to find a five star hotel and very inexpensive restaurant. We were as lucky on that one as unlucky on a couple of the others. I still shudder at thye hundred buck restaurants in Sorrento and Capri.

We will do our part and be dutiful sheep on the plane and hope the crew does theirs as well.

Looking forward to getting back...

Cheers,
