Today we’d like to share with you a short discussion on the country fairs in Italy and our first-hand experience of a local mushroom festival. Also called “le sagre”, the purpose of these festivals is to bring in people and celebrate the numerous local products they have before winter starts. This September we headed to a little town in Liguria called Bardineto, where we tried out their mushroom-based dishes. In this episode, we will talk about  What a “sagra” is, What to expect when joining the country fair, mushrooms, and the other dishes we tried out while we were there As well as our thoughts about being in a local countryside fair This episode will leave you hungry and motivated to visit Italy during the “sagra” period.
