Ricci di Mare

Don’t worry! No one will actually expect you to eat the spines of the Ricci di Mare. What people love most
about these spiky sea urchins is the ‘roe’ that is inside. It has a strong salty flavour and some may find it
an acquired taste. All around the coast of this country, famous for its delicious food and wine, you will
find these prickly sea creatures. You can eat it with spaghetti in a lemon sauce or even buy it preserved in
jars from delicatessens. However, the locals think it’s best to simply collect it from the rock pools at low
tide and eat it right on the beach.

A very big beer can ( in Russia).

When was the last time you drank beer that came out of petrol tanker at the side of the road? Well, in the
land of the Tsara, you can.

Kvass is a weak beer made from fermented rye bread, and, yes, it is sold by the glass and only from big
yellow tankers in towns and cities all over the country, although the best is said to come from
Zvenigorod. It’s not expensive and locals insist that it is the best thing in the world on a hot summer’s day
and will even protect you from infectious diseases.
