As a rule I hate food blogs and channels and find most couples who engage in such to be saccharine insincere anodyne and frankly annoying. Yours is the exception. Absolutely loved your sincerity and your ability to convey your fascination and sense of adventure as you embark culinarily. Bravo!
Ostuni-Gallipoli-Monopoli-Polignano a Mare-Fasano-Lecce-Brindisi is my favourite triangle in puglia. Beautiful beaches, great food and drinks all provided by people that know how to live very close to heaven, while still connected to their home soil. Please remember that summer-life there begins "at dusk" and summer-work starts long before dawn.
You look really nice people :) and when i see video like this, i m so so proud to be italian, glad that you liked our food, like you can see italian cousine is much more than the "classical" food that the people know aroud the world, specially in the south :) i m from Sicily and you will find sicilian food and pastries wonderful,like our towns. I hope that you liked also the towns that you visited in our wonderful and sometimes undiscovered south 😘
It's hard NOT to like Bella Italia😊. We live in Bern, Switzerland, and are die-hard Italy fans. 3 weeks back we were in Bari for 4 days and visited Polignano, Alberobello, Monopoli and Taranto, and can't wait to return for Lecce, Brindisi, Matera and Ostuni ...
You are really lovely people, thanks for filming in Puglia! As an Italian, from Bari, I am sorry to say that the restaurant where you ate orecchiette is a tourist trap, though.😢 Not only because that street is where most tourist trap restaurants are, but also because orecchiette alla Carbonara is not a staple of Bari cuisine: no serious local restaurant would cook Orecchiette alla Carbonara unless it was for tourists. And in any case, turnips are not available in Summer, hence if restaurants suggest Orecchiette alle Cime di Rapa (turnips) in summertime, it means they are frozen, and with frozen turnips the dish doesn’t taste as it should. What I am trying to say is that those were all red flags. 😅I hope (and wish) you will be back here and taste real Bari’s dishes that I am sure you are going to love. 😊
Hi! I‘m visiting Puglia next month and was wondering if you have any recommendations for authentic local food, either dishes to try or authentic restaurants? Thanks you! ☺️
@@HermioneGiowe‘re splitting it up, so we’ll be in Polignano a Mare for the first half and Otranto for the second. but we’re renting a car, so we’ll be flexible to travel around too :)
😂😄You have no idea how much we appreciate that! very happy to have you with us! (Now i'm going to reply to all of your comments to help the youtube algorithm 😉)
Buses ended up being great! to be honest we just used the flex busses so we could book online and get given pick-up and drop-off coordinates with accurate times so that helped! only one bus was about 15 minutes late and that's all!
loved the look of the "Italian subway"... hold the fingertips though 😂 All that stuff looked really really good. Also, not sure who is following who but I'm pretty sure the delightful travellers were just in Taranto/Puglia
@@JordanandEmily the calzone is made in the oven, the panzerotto is fried, basically that's the difference. Then every apulian city has some minor differences on how to made the panzerotto and what goes inside.
bel video, ma la polenta è nel nord Italia, quella è polenta fritta, buona, ma la vera polenta è un altra specialità, con la variante taragna, a richiesta.
Just back from 20 day 11 town tour by car of Puglia. We passed literally millions of dead diseased olive trees and hungry little villages. The tourist hotspots like Matera, Monopoli, Lecce, Amalfi area and Sorrento, were just that- expensive, crowded and the food was geared for tourists- disgusting wretched crap pumped out to we the tourist by a cook that can’t cook, using bottom line ingredients, and served by indifferent staff that disappeared inconveniently. The pizzas were scorched black on the bottom, gluey uncooked inside, lacking spices like basil, oregano, salt, or garlic, toppings added after cooking were paper thin ultraprocessed deli meats and plastic cheese slices. The lasagna again was spartan, cooked to mush, and tasteless. The calzone was so raw inside my wife rescued some of the unidentifiable mush and left the uncooked dough that was burnt black. One pf the prize meals was a 21 dollar “Genuine american cheeseburger”: a bare naked bun, a sausage disc of filler-pureed meat with an infamous processed cheese slice melted on top. No relish, lettuce, tomato, mustard or ketchup provided and the burger patty, asked to be well cooked, bled to death on the plate. The server nowhere to be see. Ostuno. In Matera, the lamb chops were burnt black gristle, fat and bone and overcooked potato, my wife had the braised lamb that was so rank she couldn’t eat it. I asked the manager to fire the cook. She said it was a traditional dish cooked traditionally.50 euro for that? The best food we ate on this trip to Puglia was on the airplane there and back. Some of the things ordered bore no resemblance to the dish, a Caesar salad that did not have one single ingredient you would find in this order elsewhere. Please note: I am not a fussy eater! I love camping! Just cannot abide with dreamy foodies reporting in on stuff like we just experienced, one week ago! Puglia is the Ozarks of italy and it shows on the peasant food there. Less tourism shows up as poor service, crappy cheapo food, and high prices. If you love Italy, stay north of Rome, that is a totally different country. This was our fifth trip to Italy and absolutely not like the first 4. Yes, Puglia has UNESCO venues and a pretty coastline, but the tourist industry needs an education.
@@JordanandEmily No, he said the famous Serbian phrase: Speak Serbian so that the whole world understands you 😂The rest of his sentence was just blabbing how everything is best here on Balkan... Typical Balkan person 😛 We do have really tasty stuff, as you noticed when you were here. Safe journey!
