This week I tried new foods such as crab sandwiches, chicken dumplings, and gnocchi for the first time. The crab sandwiches were not good. The gnocchi I was impressed by, but it also hurt my stomach a lot after, so I will not be ordering it anytime soon. I tried a hibachi restaraunt in La Spezia and ordered fried rice with chicken dumplings. The dumplings were spicier than I expected, but very tasty. So far, my favorite foods from Italy have been gelato and cappuccinos. I like the pasta and pizza, but none have stood out yet. From cooking class, I would love to repeat making the strawberry gelato, the rice balls, and the avocado salad.
