I've never had a sea urchin but will endeavour to taste soon, is that just an East Coast delicacy? I'm off to Florence for a weekend in December.

They're highly seasonal and easier to find in the south of Italy rather than north. I doubt you'll find them in Florence in December, and if you do, I wouldn't go for it.. Seafood doesn't really belong to Tuscany imho. Cured meats, Fiorentina steak, ribollita, cantucci and chianti do instead.. I'm off to Bologna, Florence and San Gimignano as well at the beginning of February, playing the tourists in my own homecountry.. It will be a culinary trip.

I've had them in Japan. Quite a strong flavour to them I remember.

Heading to see family in Puglia, Italia at Christmas, where I can be reacquainted with these. Pure heaven, lunches can last four hours and exchanging gifts every day can last a week a tradition in these parts xx
