Memory
Guests are often unsure, surprised and (politely) skeptical about the unusual flavour combination!
Peppered Strawberries
This is simple dessert of fresh strawberries served in a cup. The number of servings can easily be adjusted depending on the number of guests.
Interesting facts
Just like with olives, the first mouthful is a bit of a shock, but then you find yourself going back for more! This dessert is part of fine Italian cuisine.
