Keep on doing what you’re doing! Food in Rome normally has more oil than I eat (I usually have 2 teaspoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon fish oil a day). So, I made a pit stop at the supermecato…
I actually ate some canned salmon (packed in water; added some mustard) and broccoli (nuked without anything else) BEFORE going out to dinner. Then, I ate very judiciously from the pretty but rich (not to them, but to me) food they served. I had grilled fish and wild asparagus. I declined the eggplant (an oil sink), and oily zucchini.
Moral of the story: be prepared! And don’t be afraid to make requests and/or decline things you shouldn’t have.
wild asparagus? looks yummy!
Indeed it was… in season now
