Having dealt with most of the issues that brought them to this city, the leaders of the Group of Eight nations went their separate ways Sunday with a communique in hand.
European Commission President Romano Prodi stopped by the cafeteria at the International Media Center after the conclusion of the summit to sample some of the local fare.
Saying he was hungry, the Italian wandered over to the buffet-style counters and asked attendants which of the dishes were Okinawan.
His choice -- a tomato-based stew made with Okinawan pork and steamed dumplings stuffed with arrowhead nuts and pickled seaweed, a specialty of the island prefecture -- seemed to suit his palette.
