Now, we are staying in parts of Italy that are untouched by
many tourists. So, we didn’t really learn about the Italians and their affinity
for eating until last night!
We learned tonight after being a part of a dinner gathering
that Italians dine out much differently than we realized. For example, we started our meal with our
own individual appetizer, then our first course- it was delicious homemade
pasta - which we were certainly full after eating. However, it didn’t end
there.
Adam and I thought we would be ready for dessert, but no,
then came our second main dish, which was yet another full meal. Between all this were several glasses of
wine, homemade bread and breadsticks, more wine. And then finally…we finished
with a lovely dessert, with extra homemade cookies and more wine or espresso, just in case the dessert alone was not enough.
Now the 3 forks and 3 knives make sense and it explains one reason the Italians
are always happy!
Ciao!
Anastasia and Adam
