“Sottoli Pugliesi” - think pickled veggies in oil. The pearl onions on the far right are actually #Lampascioni - part of the same family, but technicality a “tassel hyacinth”, with a totally different texture/taste (less layers, slightly bitterish). Like shrooms, you don’t want to pick these yourself - they are easily confused for “Autumn Colchicum” which are pretty damn toxic🤯.
Weirdly, they originate in North America, but are now considered typically #Pugliese…

Those are tomatoes in the middle - right, not strawberries?
Were they at all spicy? I had a friend who was from Calabria and their pickled veggies could take your breath away.

@Island_Martha little peperoncini- stuffed with ricotta. Not terribly spicy (but there was an offer to add some Calabrian peppers to the ricotta 😅)

@dieswaytoofast
Did you take them up on that?

@Island_Martha still sweating - they were potent!!!

@dieswaytoofast
You're braver than I. Had a TINY taste once at a friends home. Once was more than enough for me.
