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.
