Oh heaven, i dont know where to start...

Well, i have finally fully excepted the idea of living in florence. Ive been finding the little places that give the good deals, the "local" places that is. I have my favorite lunch spot, called the "Oil Shoppe" which makes probably the best Paninis in the world (a Panino is a sandwhich basically) for only three euro. They are so big that i usually can barely get through half of one, which means that im almost eating lunch and dinner for three euro. Each bite makes me feel like the world is going to end, and it doesnt even matter what kind you get. My favorite is the salami with peppers, a little spicy, which is really nice considering nothing else is spicy here. I swear, if the italians went to India, they wouldnt be able to eat anything but rice. They usually warn be about the peppers at this place, which seems so ironic considering it is less spicy than the hot sauce at taco bell. But each bite is incredible, which is plain wrong considering how little i spent on it. I would of discovered this place earlier, except its closed like every other day for no reason, and when it is open the line is out the door. I have finally figured out how to negiote the place: arrive early, really early, and wait, wait really long. But its soo worth it. The only other thing i can find here that is spicy is the Kebab. Now, when i first heard about this things i was picture a sish kabab (im sure i butchered that spelling), so i was picturing a long wooden toothpick with meat on it. But i was wrong, it is basically the Italian/Greek version of a burrito. Chicken or beef thrown into a tortilla with some of the strangest spices ive seen in it. Now, again, the guy warned be the first time that it was spicy, and it was a little more spicy than the Panini, but barely. The next time i went i asked him to make it really spicy, and he defintiely did so. I probably drank two liters of pepsi just to get the thing down, which was really incredible. I dont know how to describe the over all taste of the thing, its something you have to try. All the rest of the food here is incredible, i go to this place called Billa. Its the largest chain around, and has the cheapest stuff. My normal checkout usually includes nutella, bread (30 cents for about a three foot long bagget), milk, salami, bree cheese, coke, water, and other random stuff. basically everything cheap i can find that still tastes great.

The issue here is that no matter how much you eat you still want more, not because your hungry but because it just tastes so unbelievably great!
