· While studying at the University of Corsica, I worked in a restaurant that served Corsican specialities. For the vegetarian option, may I suggest dishes made with the versatile Corsican cheese, brocciu, eg cannelloni au brocciu , omelette au brocciu or savoury fritters followed by fiadone - a light brocciu flan with a lemony taste, sweet fritters or brocciu sprinkled with brandy. A variety of fish and seafood is also available. Fried polenta sprinkled with sugar is ideal for children. Also look out for the tasty jams made with figs and chestnuts.
