It has been popular among young and old for a few years now; it has an exotic name and taste; it is take away but also home made. What are we talking about? The poké bowl of course.
Poké is a simple and complete dish. It is a big bowl in which, on a bed of vinegar rice, different ingredients can be added: diced marinated raw fish (usually salmon, octopus or tuna), seaweed, fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, etc. But not only that, we also tried couscous!
Poke Bowls in Italy have gained popularity for several reasons:
