The food, especially fish and seafood, was incredible. At lunch in Monopoli, I had freshly caught grilled Octopus. It was not on the menu but when I asked Vito, the owner of the restaurant for Polpo, he smiled and introduced me to my lunch. We sat right next to a wood fired grill that Vito used for the grilled items. He served the octopus with a dab of Olive Oil, which the Pugliese put o everything, and some lemon.
If you ever decide to leave the academic life, I think you have another potential career as a food photographer.
