Whoever guesses what this is gets a physical prize from Croatia 🙂I will look For something specific to the Istrian coast for a gift and mail it. I will pick from the best comment.

My mom and I went to a hillside medieval town for lunch and wild cats had taken over. We got yelled at for feeding the cats truffle pasta. We didn't care because we had a little wine and the cats looked skinny. We are off to wine tasting.

No, it's not buffalo poop.

I did some smooth talking to get some of these truffles.

Truffles, decent but not the superb quality ones. Those are black while white truffles are way more expensive. Both are extremely delicious which is quite hard to explain or even understand since they smell of bottled natural gas. Truffles are the best Istria can offer and it can offer a lot; fabulous wine, perfect olive oil, phenomenal scenery... But truffles are the best. Just gently sprinkled on home made paste with barely any sauce makes a perfect dish you'll never forget. Go figure. Was this in Grožnjan or Motovun?

I honestly can't remember the name of the small hillside village I was in where I had lunch. The chef was cool enough to sell me one. I can't wait to cool with it.
