Tasty Greens and Sauces in Italy

Salads in Italy are so tasty, and I didn't realize this until Anton and I went out earlier. Anton prearranged one for me when we were in this classy Italian restaurant. I protested a few minutes after nibbling my spicy salad. I said to Anton that I didn't like my salad to be spicy.

Honey, that's how it is here in Italy where salads are very flavorful and spicy, Anton told me cheerfully.

I didn't appreciate what I was nibbling. There were ingredients and spices in the salads that my taste buds couldn't appreciate. I was heating up all over, and I could just perceive the heat stretching to my eyes. So, I guzzled a tumbler filled with water.

I didn't want to order another salad that would turn out spicy, so I just sorted out parts of my spicy plate right there and then. I set aside the peppers, foreign vegetables, and spicy-looking nuts that I see. I requested for a honey-coated paste from the waiter and poured a cup to my dissected foodplate with tomatoes, cabbages, carrots, onions and potatoes.

Anton wasn't worried but surprised. He told me I was a shrewd girl who knows what she loves, so he let me and my dissected salad be.
