Lobster Newburg with Jasmine rice cooked in broth made from lobster shells paired with a 2023 Chablis. Not very photogenic but very flavorful and rich

A Napoli, Tirana, Albania - the reviews were right - the crust here was more dense than it should have been, and this particular pizza was overpowered by the pistachio - though, the ricotta was quite good - I even didnt finish it, which is quite unheard of for me - they also annoyingly claimed they didnt have change for the 5000 ALL note the ATM gave me but luckily took card

I don't know - piped stars on a pizza just don't seem right.

Bella Napoli, Tirana - while everyone around me received fluffy Neapolitan pizzas, my Provola e Pepe came as a very large and flat pizza - the other Italian words on the menu must have described this difference, but my ignorance caused this fact to elude me - however, the pizza was fantastic, and I scarfed it all down. They also brought an appetizer of some focaccia with a yummy sauce.

Pizza can never have too much cheese, that is what makes it a pizza

Pide and some sort of other good cheese bread along with chocolate cake at Turkish Miles and Smiles Lounge in IST (definitely not buying food at IST - an order of fries at McDonalds is over $4 and an order of fries at Shake Shack was $6.51)
