Easter eggs

Easter is a few weeks away, but the Italian version of Easter eggs are everywhere from the supermarkets to fancy confectionery stores. They are large chocolate eggs, quite a bit larger than the typical American chocolate eggs. This very elegant candy store on the piazza had some of the biggest I'd seen.

(That purple thing on the right that looks like a lamp is a chocolate egg.)





Then today the Latteria downstairs, our source for cheeses, hams, and all sorts of other good things, put their own chocolate eggs in their window.


Dio mio! How much chocolate is that, and who buys these things? Clearly more research is needed. .
