My favorite Italian grocery has OO flour, that I usually use for my pizza dough. Yesterday I wanted to taste my first arancino and the deli guy said the meat was better than the vegetarian one. My husband has a lunch today and I’ve mine, leftovers in the best way.
In Scotland one has the “Scotch Egg” that is a boiled egg covered with sausage, breading and fried.
In Italy one has something in the middle, usually meat, covered with cooked rice and fried and served with tomato sauce. It was delicious!
I am certain that every nation and culture has their version of a fried meatball. It is sad that I waited all these years of culinary exploration to try arancini, just because I didn’t mentally understand it. This is the place we get our pasta, cheeses, sandwiches and I never found a place in my heart for arancini. It’s there now! Cheers, Dee

This would be for Dad, RIP. He taught me Italy, at least Florence. I know how to get reservations at the Uffizi, my favorite museum in the world.
