The culinary landscape of the islands near Naples offers distinct specialties. While Ischia is known for its rabbit dishes, Procida is famous for its 'lingua de Procida,' a pastry filled with lemon cream. The podcast also mentions an unexpectedly delicious anchovy pasta with pecorino cheese discovered on Procida.
“So in Iskir. You know, one of the famous dishes is rabbit. And, you know, there's something like we don't have in Capri at all, yet we're just across the water.”
“And each prosciutto as well has their little specialties. And they also do have rabbit on their menus. But they also have their lingua de prosciutto, the lingua de bua, which is like a pastry with lemon cream in it.”
“Actually, in prosciutto, I had one of my most favorite dishes. It was unexpectedly delicious. It was like, it was an anchovy pasta. And it just blew my mind because I always assumed there was no cheese ever to be allowed with seafood, but it had like a bit of pecorino on it. And I was like, oh my gosh, this is amazing.”
