My Wonderful Connection with Italian Croutons

My food preferences are relatively uncomplicated. I definitely wouldn't be categorized with those who have an adventurous penchant for exotic foods. As for croutons, I wasn't particularly a crouton fan. That is, until I took a holiday in Italy and consumed a few of these crouton delights.

To just give an overview, compared to the standard croutons you buy in the groceries or bakeshops, Italian croutons are crunchier and tastier. Aside from its atypical smell, Italian croutons have this savory garlic and buttery flavoring. They also have a spicy bite that would make you request for more.

Back to my story; it all started when I was idly reading "The Alchemist" in my room and then surprisingly, I had a visitor. My newfound friend, Mr. Reynolds, was clutching a basket full of mouth-watering scented croutons. Of course, even if I'm not fond of croutons, I took the delights as a form of respect for my newfound friend.

I wanted to give the croutons to our tour escort who would gladly accept just about anything given to him. But then I had an immediate wish to give it a try, so I did. Within one hour, I realized that I managed to munch more than half of the croutons in the wrapping.

So that, my fellow travelers, began my love affair with croutons. Now, my predicament is that I obviously can't get enough of them.
