I believe it was about 10 years ago at a local pizza place. They had an amazing grilled pizza that had Italian sausage and arugula on it.

I love a mix of fresh berries with Greek yogurt. My favorites are usually blackberries and blueberries from the local farmers' market.

It was in a fancy sandwich at the Shangri-La Hotel in Manila. I was amazed at this strange, oddly garlicky, deliciously bitter, incredibly appetizing green stuff. I'm sure it also tasted 100000% better as we'd just finished our interview at the U.S. embassy in Manila, and my younger brother, sister and I were given our approval papers to come to the U.S. with my mom.

I was ten or so, and I ordered a pasta dish when I was out to dinner with my family in Boston. At the time I couldn't stand arugula, but now I love it - in pasta or anywhere else.

Like all Italians, I have eaten arugula (and all types of bitter greens) all my life.

The first time I had arugula was on my first visit to London, England, where I was enchanted that it was called 'rocket'. It was in one of those great sandwiches you can get at Tesco or Pret a Manger or the like. Probably with a shrimp mayonaise, I don't remember.

About 20 years ago, when I ordered veal milanese at a nice italian restaurant on valetine's day.

What a great question - I won't forget the first time I had it either! It grew like a weed in my dad's garden that he put in when I was in early high school. I had it with heirloom tomatoes and basil (from the garden too) and aged balsamic. I don't think I realized at the time how lucky I was.

11 years ago, on a first date at an italian restaurant...the arugula was the only memorable part.

The first time I had arugula was in Sydney, Australia in 1996 and it was called "rocket"!
