It’s funny all over Salento I ordered cafe leccese. In Lecce they placed the order, but south some refused to call it that they said it’s cafe salentina and another said it’s not called that is called cafe con mandorla. The leccese people insisted that it’s cafe leccese and don’t listen to anyone outside Lecce 🤣🤣🤣

I loved this sooooo much! My mother in law was from Salento, and we try to visit at least once a year. I want my daughter to grow with these familiar, incredible tastes: the orecchiette, rustici and pasticciotti, the simplest grilled horse slice, but also the fresh mozzarella, ricotta forte... I miss Salento and its food!
