Great tour today

For my history class, our professor took the class on a tour of the immediate area near the school and also the Central Market, which is by far the best place to buy food.  We went into various small shops that sell bread, paninos, etc.  When we first arrived at the Central Market, Dr. Fischer told us to wait while he ordered us food from a street vendor; he didn't want us to know what he was making us eat.  We tried it, and most of it thought it was great.  It turns out it was actually cow stomach.  More precisely, it's the cow's 4th stomach (they have 4 total), and it is called lampredotto.  It was very delicious, I'll probably be getting some every time I go to the market.  We also learned all sorts of things about the meat they sell in the market, and the various meats they eat in Italy that they do not eat in America.  They use every part of the animal in Italy... they sell everything from pig's feet, cow's tongue, cow's nerves, chicken hearts... everything else you could imagine.  They also had a huge area full of all fresh vegetables and fruit, they had a guy who sold all sorts of nuts and dried fruit, a balsamic vinegar and wine shop, and more.  It is pretty much the only place you need to shop for food, the only problem is that it closes at 2pm every day and we don't get out of class until 2:30.
