Viva Italia!

Fly agarics - cool!
It was possible to arrange the green, white and red components on the next dish not randomly, but in vertical stripes, as on the flag of Italy. At the same time, the taste would remain invariably traditional!

Medusa, It's time for you to post your recipes, and not edit others

mka, eh, how I envy your Mediterranean vegetables. Honestly, when I walked through the markets in Israel, I wanted to ask for a gastronomic refuge, the smells are crazy!
Special thanks for the fly agarics, somehow they look funny from unconventional material

And I don't smell mind-blowing smells. And the tastes of ordinary cucumbers and tomatoes, and sometimes greens, are not so aromatic at all. But when I was in Armenia, I could not tear myself away from tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs and fruits. And she didn't want meat (only my favorite sujukh). Especially the greens: I sat and just ate basil, dill and parsley. And then they bought me fresh marjoram and purple basil (many, many), we dried them, I brought them to Israel and still use them. The aroma is simply extraordinary.

Probably, everything is known by comparison. After the Moscow winter plastic greenery in April at the market in Kfar Saba, my head was spinning. Is there no red basilica in Israel? In Moscow, it's more problematic to buy green.

There is also purple, but I live in a small town and have seen it three times in the market. In stores, I buy only green, there is no other. Surely, in large markets, there is a large selection. Our market has practically disappeared, could not stand the competition with a specialized grocery store. And, indeed, everything is learned in comparison. Everything is so fragrant and real in Armenia, no chemicals in vegetables and fruits. Cucumbers are sweet and with pimples, I haven't eaten such cucumbers for 10 years. And here I like mango and watermelon the most. They are seedless (watermelons, of course). Now the season of strawberries begins and I bought very tasty, not watery.
Ikra
Your strawberries are beyond competition! I really liked it. And here you have a lemon drink everywhere, I forgot the name ... With mint. Do you recall the recipe?
mka
The drink is simply called lemonade. I cut the lemon into circles, add mint and fill it with hot water, but not boiling water, so as not to taste bitter. When the water cools down a little, add sugar to taste and refrigerate. Serve with ice when it's hot.

Hmm? And after strawberries in Ukraine, Israeli strawberries seem to me bland and tasteless
mka
Strawberries are delicious this year. Previously, too, I came across none and only occasionally with taste. And this year, everything I bought is fragrant and sweet.
Ikra
And a year ago we got a sweet one, it did not flow, even after driving all day in the trunk of a car. Berry to berry, it was a pleasure
