Have you tasted Agretti before? If not, Agretti is a plant that looks similar to seaweed once it is sautéed in sauce. Instead, this pant is a vegetable normally used in Italian food to add flavor to the dishes. In the YouTube video below by RiverCafe London, show a chef described that the Agretti plant tastes more like a spinach. In this video, he adds bottarga, splash of lemon, oil and pepper. The bottarga can be salty so he emphasizes on using oil reduce the amount of saltiness. This is a very simple dish, takes like then 15 minutes to make and it is delicious!

Another Italian dish to look out for is Caso Marzu. According to the video below by tubemookish, shows a co-host of famous chef, Gordon Rasmey in Italy learning how to make Casu Marzo. As the host described, this cheese is created from a sheep's milk. The milk from the sheep is then boiled to 40 degrees and then stirred until the cheese has formed. From there, the cheese is left for three months to be completely hardened. Once finished, the host mentioned how the larvae would eat the cheese so that it can produce its the unique and strong flavor. The host also added the if the cheese is not done correctly, the maggots are capable of destroying one's intestines, especially the liver.
