Yum! There are a lot of similarities between what you write and many of the popular foods here in Campania. The pepperoncino is also king! (Or queen?) We have different fruits and veggies that grow here. I had no idea about the Bergamot orange. So interesting! (I'm drinking Earl Grey tea right now...) <strong><em>Yes but you have limoncello.
