Joe Giudice Is "Eating off the Land in Italy" — and That Includes Consuming Raw Garlic

Joe Giudice can't really comprehend the toilet situation in Italy, and don't get him started on the way clothing manufacturers cut their jeans overseas. But as he adjust to life abroad, The Real Housewives of New Jersey dad has had no problem getting used to the food. 

As he's shown in recent Instagram posts, Joe is a fan of the fresh seafood in his new home, and he's digging the local sushi joints, too. He's dined at his friend's new Italian restaurant, and even cooked up a holiday feast of homemade calamari. And now, Joe's starting to appreciate the region's fresh produce. 

In a recent post, the MMA fighter shared that he's "eating off the land" in Italy — and it's "not bad." The dad of four sank his teeth into raw garlic, which is: "a little harsh, but good for you though." (As good as straight hot sauce?) He's also eating lemons like they were grapefruits, and reminiscing about his daughter Audriana as he bites into teeny oranges with "so much flavor." 

Perhaps Joe will be the next to launch his own cooking show? But in the meantime, keep scrolling to catch a few glimpses into his Italian lifestyle.
