Ray Winstone in Sicily

I've never had so much fun watching someone who's clearly not Italian show me (an Italian) parts of the country that I've never seen.

From the lovely fish markets, to the goat cheeses and the history lessons...

Upbeat and clever, interesting and hysterically accurate portrayal of what tourists really do think feel and say.

I only wish that the show was longer, maybe it's time for a few more seasons. But first, some exposure to the show perhaps.

Thanks to Ray and crew for inspiring a whole new bunch of recipes that I never even knew existed before seeing the show.

The cold cucumber-ish soup almost blew .e off my chair because years ago I had a green tomato cosumme and never tasted anything like it since.

To see anything similar was inspiring.

Food has become rather boring lately, but Ray made it interesting all over again.
