Florence - really good proscuitto

Nothing particularly interesting happened in Florence now that I'm reading back over my travel journal. It mostly reads something along the line of
- Woke up
- Went to gallery/church/Market
- Had lunch
- Went to gallery/church/Market
- Had dinner
- Slept
Maybe the renewed access to internet meant that I didn't look as hard as in Paris and Venice for entertainment.

The only really interesting point of note was when me and Lydia went to the San Lorenzo market to get some food for the day. Throughout Italy, we mostly ate a combination of bread, cheese, proscuitto, gelati, and a nice restaurant for either dinner or lunch. One day at the market, a guy at the smallgoods store gave us a platter of things to taste. I had a piece of proscuitto and it was sooooooooo good I encouraged Lydia to eat some and we ate it all.

We were fully going to buy it when the server guy chuckled and proceeded to say this:
You have very good taste in food. That proscuitto is very good - it costs 85 euros/kg.
For me, it's a proscuitto for very special times. Not an everyday meat. I don't know for you. This might be a special time for you! After we picked our jaws off the floor, Lydia and I decided that while it was good, it wasn't the equivalent of $AUD100 and bought something else for our lunch instead.

But it was damn good proscuitto.
