Larry and the Friendly Monster

This week Emily takes us on a culinary tour around the Mediterranean. Beginning in Lake Como, Italy, we meet the local lake cryptid, affectionately named Larry the Lariosaur. Then it’s off to Sicily to learn about the Donas de Fueras, faeries whose favored mode of transportation was flying goats. Finally, we head to Cyprus to seek out the friendly monster known as filiko teras… or possibly a wayward crocodile. We’re still not sure.
PSA: Freud did NOT discover ze platypus. But he sure did love cocaine.
