Modena - Post Report Question and Answers

McDonald's is prevalent everywhere, but it isn't cheap. Most 'fast food' in Italy now is actually kebab! Very cheap and super tasty as it's usually made by Turkish immigrants. The food in Modena?! Holy amazing. The best part of living in Italy is the food- hands down. Extremely reasonably priced and such great quality. Everything is always made fresh and the owners always take great pride in their food. Try every restaurant, and find your favorites and go there often. If you can, try gnocco fritto. It's an appetizer that is essentially gnocchi dough that isn't rolled, but deep fried, which causes it to puff up in pillows. It's served with charcuteri and you stuff the pillows with cured meats. So. Good. An often overlooked aspect of Italian life is the apperitivo time. This is between 5pm-7pm, where cafes and bars serve drinks and small appetizer foods. Spend a few Euros for a glass of prosecco, and eat some fresh olives, mozarella cheese, mini quiches and lots more! - Sep 2014
