Polenta e osei: Bergamo's unique Italian cake
While visiting the quaint town of Bergamo located in Lombardy, Italy little did we realize a unique Italian sweet originated from there. It was only after hearing about it from a local at lunch that we realized we had to go on mission to try and find one for dessert. Well, it certainly didn't take us long as Polenta e osei very distinctly stands out in many windows of Italian shops. The dome shaped polenta cake is cornmeal yellow and typically features marzipan sculptures on top. In this video we made the mistake of thinking polenta was actually added to the exterior of the cake; however, truth be told (and probably this is a good thing given that polenta is more of a savory ingredient) these sweet treats are actually only made to resemble a savory Polenta dish that typically features bird inside. Everything about this snack is saturated in sugar. Normally we both have enough of a sweet tooth to finish a dessert on our own; however, we needed to help each other out to polish this one off. If you're in Bergamo be sure to try Polenta e osei.

Polenta e osei: Bergamo's unique Italian cake travel video transcript:
Good afternoon from the city of Bergamo. Today we took a day trip from Milan, we rode the train for less than an hour and we arrived at a completely new destination. So we've been exploring the town of Bergamo and we also learned that there is a dessert that is very popular in this city. And that is what I have right here.
This right here is called Polenta e osei. And Polenta is made from corn. It is kind of like a finely ground corn or maze. And it is usually served in savory dishes with like a tomato sauce or some type of other sauce. Um, but it has been turned into a dessert here. So we're having sweet Polenta. And apparently the name means 'a bird' osei is meant to be bird in the local dialect. So yeah, bird polenta. That is what we're having today.
Time to take a bite. Mmmm.
Bird polenta. Mmmm.
It's supposed to be really sweet. Is it?
I wonder if it is just polenta on the exterior because look at the inside. It almost looks a little bit like cake. So I wonder if it is just the yellow coating that is the polenta. I'm not entirely sure. And is it sweet?
Oh, very sweet. Very sugary. I mean you can see the granulated sugar on the outside.
Super sweet. But yeah, it is a completely new dessert for me.
Want to give it a try? And it is unique to here.
We later discovered that the reason it tasted so sweet is because we had a lost in translation moment with our guide. The dessert we tried bares the exact same name as a savory polenta dish with a bird cooked inside. The dessert was given this name because from the exterior it looks just like polenta but when you bite in it is cake. A little confusing but nevertheless tasty.
Your turn to give it a try. Oh, he's making out with it. Wow! That is some kind of sweet. What do you think?
Some kind of sweet? It is definitely tasty. Yeah. That is the kind of thing that I don't think I could eat this whole thing. It is too sweet. It is a little overpowering isn't it? It is.
You know, I feel quite lucky to have had the opportunity to try this today because we got a recommendation from a local upon arriving. And we had no idea that this even existed. Polenta as a dessert? Hmmmm.
Who knew? And now I think you should try whatever is on top there. Do you think that is marzipan?
It's a kind of chocolate. I don't know.
What is he doing?
Yeah, I think it is. Yeah?
And upon further research it looks like we've found a secret chocolate layer in the middle. Okay, so this is the dessert that keeps on giving basically. Yeah, basically.
So in terms of price point you can pick up this dessert at almost any pastry shop inside the old town. It costs three Euros and I found it so sweet that you can probably split it and share it with two people.

Vegan Treats on Donizetti Night | Bergamo, Italy | 2019
Me and a friend decided to hand out some homemade vegan baked goods on Donizetti Night. The night is an annual two-day celebration of the famous Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti, who hailed from Bergamo. People gave us their opinions on chocolate chip cookies and a banana bread. Most preferred the banana bread! Thanks to my wonderful helper for helping me film. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
Italian Breakfast in Milan, Italy
Recently we've spent over a month in England and Ireland. For breakfast, on a typical day, we've been eating the likes of eggs, sausages, bacon, and fried potatoes. It's basically been an all-star assortment of savory types of items washed down with tea. Now that we've found ourselves in Milan, Italy it's a whole other story. After consulting with some locals and doing a bit of research online, we've realized Italian breakfast is a sweet affair. Coffee or cappuccino paired with something sweet (pastries, cakes, breads, jams) is what a local would have more often than not. With this in mind we visited a cafe recommended by a friend to sample some sweet Italian breakfast.

Italian Breakfast in Milan, Italy Travel Video Transcript:
Well good morning from Milano, Italia. We are here in Italy. It is our first day, so we have gone in search of the Italian breakfast. Now we weren't entirely sure what an Italian breakfast looks like so we did a bit of research and asked around and apparently it is just a coffee and anything sweet. So that could be pastries, bread with jam, cake or cookies. So we've sat down at a little cafe and we're going to have our first Italian breakfast.
So my beverage of choice today is the cappuccino because it is a very cold day. And why not have some frothy coffee. It's a cold day. When is fifteen degrees considered cold? Look at the way I'm dressed. I'm cold okay?
Ooh, that is nice. Excellent cappuccino. Nice and rich and frothy? Mmmm.
Indeed. Wanna try some?
So this breakfast reminds me a bit of breakfast in France and also in Argentina. A sweet way to start the day and I have to say it is a quite a huge contrast and change from what we were used to in England and Ireland where we were having full savory breakfasts. With eggs and sausages and mushrooms. Lower calories and a lot sweeter.
And this pastry here I've selected, I honestly don't really know what it is. What made me select it was that I saw walnut bits. And hey, I'm a huge fan of walnuts so I don't know what is inside. It looks like it might be apple. Let's find out.
I thought it was going to be prunes. Mmmm.
No, no no. That is like pecan pie. That's pecan filling inside. Let's see the inside. Oh wow!
That is so delicious.
Oh, it's like having pecan pie.
Pie for breakfast. He's a happy boy.
And what do you have over there?
Well, this is the pastry I chose. It is a little twisty one with chocolate chips.
That is really good. It is very buttery and flaky. And you just can't go wrong with chocolate chips this early in the morning. I'm a fan.
So we're going to be here for a week in the Lombardy region and I can't wait to try as much Italian food as possible. It's one of my favorite cuisines.
And last but not least, price point? Well, this delicious breakfast for two came to five Euros and that included two cappuccinos and two pastries. So not an expensive way to start the day.
Yeah, talk about value. Mmmmhhmmm.

Italian Cuisine: Italy Food Guide to Lombardy Travel Food Video Transcript:
Well good morning from Milano, Italia. We are here in Italy. It is our first day, so we have gone in search of the Italian breakfast. Now we weren't entirely sure what an Italian breakfast looks like so we did a bit of research and asked around and apparently it is just a coffee and anything sweet. So that could be pastries, bread with jam, cake or cookies. So we've sat down at a little cafe and we're going to have our first Italian breakfast.
Okay guys, so I'm pretty excited about today. We have left Bergamo behind and we're visiting a castle outside in the countryside. It's called Castello di Malpaga and we are going to be taking a cooking class inside a castle. So I'm going to get ready to start cooking and Sam is going to give you a tour of the castle so you can see what it looks like.
First impressions from Milan so far? Ah, it's been great. Especially the food. And every time you go to a restaurant I'm looking at the menu and I'm like I want this, I want this, I want this, I want this.
So I have a hard time deciding and I'm not even sure if we're going to get to cover everything before we leave. Well, tonight it is risotto.
So we've gone out for our first Italian Aperitivo. Which is kind of like a pre-dinner drinking tradition. Basically, you get yourself a cocktail for about 10 Euros and that gives you access to this massive buffet of like pizzas, pastas, olives. Anything you could possibly imagine. And this is what comes before dinner.
Good morning from Chiavenna. It is a bit of a rainy morning but we are still very excited to be here and out exploring because there is a festival taking place here. Today is the day of the Bresaola and that means that we are celebrating a deli meat. And there is lots of different stands that have been setup across the town. So you can just wander around and sample some deli meats. So we're going to be trying lots of food today. It's very exciting. And just to give you a bit of background information, Bresaola is kind of similar to prosciutto but it is made from beef and it has very little fat. So that is coming up in this video.
One of the pleasures of coming to Italy is indulging in the local ice cream known as gelato. Here we've each got two cones. I've got the waffle cone over here and Audrey's going to be trying the regular cone. We've got different flavors and we can't wait to try a taste test now.
So it is lunchtime here in Milan and we figured why not have pizza when in Italy. I've only had pizza once the whole time I've been here and it was time to try a few others. So we've been walking around the city and we walked by this one shop and we saw they had like these extra thick slices of pizza. It almost looked like a focaccia bread with toppings. So we went in there and grabbed two slices.
Good afternoon from the city of Bergamo. Today we took a day trip from Milan, we rode the train for less than an hour and we arrived at a completely new destination. So we've been exploring the town of Bergamo and we also learned that there is a dessert that is very popular in this city. And that is what I have right here.

Visiting Gardaland Park in Verona, Italy, with our Kids
Are you keen to check out Gardaland in Verona, Italy?
Whilst staying in Lake Garda with our kids, we decided to spoil them with a fun day at Gardaland Park.
I think that Gardaland Theme Park might just be one of my favorite theme parks that I have ever been too. The park is HUGE and so well designed. There are loads of rides for all ages, with slow rides for babies and toddlers to adrenaline rides for adults.
You won't be able to try out everything in one day, so if you can why not stay in the area and come back for a second day of fun.

We stayed at Limone sul Garda and absolutely LOVED it. Read more about this gorgeous town here:
