Mrs z's fave dessert. We found it on the menu of 'Glauco' restaurant in Scilla's Chianalea neighborhood. Great food, great views too. Glauco was a famous ancient Roman mythical figure.

The joke is: the rastaman on the left smokes a spliff/joint of cannabis; the pan-European in the middle smokes a cigarette; and the Calabrian 'teste dure' (stubborn hard-head) is munching some raw cipolla or red onions.

Nduja can come wrapped as shown here. It was not as spicey as we'd feared. The nearby village Spilingo has an annual fest dedicated to the meat. It was OK, but we preferred cinghiale or boar.

A variety of zagara or citrus blankets Calabria. Their lovely smell is called 'zagarona'. It joins honeysuckle and roses in keeping the air fragrant.

Show me someone who claims that garlic has no health benefits and I'll show you both the door. I included some in the recipe for what turned out to be the best meal that I've made for my wife Mrs Z in years: 'Pasta Tono di Lamarcia'. I created it for her mid-week.

These lads at Tropea's Shark Bay had a chat with us. When at first their ball had rolled onto my feet, I'd jokingly pretended to take it by plopping it into my shoulder bag without breaking stride. I told our Toronto FC soccer team had two talented Italian players: Insigne and Benedeschi. *The beachside snack menu there, and the one we saw earlier at Parghelia's Lido di Nonno, was similar to those across European and North American beaches: pop and fast food.

This lady and her sister were Italian tourists visiting for a week. We chatted more than once. She recommended the restaurant Pinturicchio (pintew-reek-eeyoe). We finally went there one night and loved it!

This friendly man was a senior Military Commander. He was also the groom awaiting his bride atop Tropea's famed sanctuary (more later). There was a gigantico cake being transported on foot then up the sanctuary's ancient zig-zag path. He had a magnificent ceremonial sabre: was it used to slice the cake?

For it was he, Tonino! He is the undisputed grandfather of all things gelato in Tropea. Ladies beware: he is also an unapologetic flirt. Husbands basically become invisible.

Having an outdoors, communal, home-cooked meal in Pentedatillo, while being serenaded by wild birdsong, will definitely be a highlight of your visit. Libellula may drop by (he is the dragonfly pictured earlier). Ask for wonderful Rosella or better yet, book a tour with Reggio-based guide Lorenzo Labate (see later).
