Some More Photos from Istria (Croatia)
So, here I am immersed in truffles and gorgeous natural wine, and all I want to do is go to bed, because I overindulged SIX HOURS AGO. Now, that’s a bit excessive isn’t it? A bit? Just a little bit. But it was all very delicious, and I couldn’t resist.
Before I do go lay on the sofa, and try to find something in English on my temporary Croatian tv (don’t judge me, I must, I am exhausted!), I will share a few photos with you here.
Back soon, thinking clearer, I hope!
Very excited truffle hunting dogs
The great hope! Sadly someone had just beaten us to the truffle
Dimitri of Piquentum wines, very good natural wines from Istria, more on those soon
White truffles at a truffle fair! Oh, the smell. Amazing.
Truffle cheese. sheep's cheese and pršut (Croatian cured ham)
Fuzi (Istrian Pasta) with a lorra lorra truffle. SWOON.

Love these latest photos – reminds of Cannelle et Vanille – so evocative of the country. The photo of James Joyce looks either as if he is fed up of waiting for food (or a glass) or he is just watching the world go by. Am going to have a go at the Apple Fritole using last of my apples.
how can something so unassuming looking (a truffle ) be so delicious. They looks like pebbles! Looks like you have had some amazing adventures.
Oh how fantastic I love truffles, the ones you dig up, well, the chocolate ones too. Truffles and pasta a dish made in heaven. GG
Those truffles must have tasted great. I have been a few times in Croatia. It’s got a very diverse natural environment. Thanks for the photos.
Ahhh Pula, a long time ago, 35 years ish , I was in that part of the world. A childhood holiday. We flew to Pula, I will quiz people about the details. I think it was Yugoslavia in those days. I hope it is the same place. Childhood memories. The truffle pic is über cool.
We’ve been looking at Istria for a place to go – you might have persuaded me! ;)
