• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Alphabetic town and related food game

Only have one for Q
Q is for Quebec - the first time I had frog legs here, it didn’t taste like chicken. Not very tasty the way it was cooked.
 
R for Rome in Europe
The first time I was in Rome, I think the local restaurant near me served very good Pana Cotta, different from what I made. I had this dish maybe 3 nights in a row.
The second time we stayed near the British Embassy, we found a very good gelato place.
Other food was just average, my husband was gluten free then so maybe he had a lot of steaks.
 
R - Recco, in Italy, where I had my first ever focaccia di Recco…vastly different than the usual airy focaccia we usually see.

Two tissue-thin layers of dough, with local cheese sandwiched in between - we loved it so much, I even made it at home, just to see if I could do it.
