On the morning of 1/14/13 I woke up and drank a cup of some delicious tea and ate a roll with butter on it. In Italy lunch is at a specific time, Kind of like back in the U.S its noontime only in Italy is at 12:30. “They eat pizza or sandwiches for lunch. Sometimes it can be a meal at a restaurant” ("ITALY FOOD"). I ended up eating some pizza for lunch, Their pizza is not as greasy as back in the U.S. It’s much healthier and tastes a lot better. “Dinner time is around 7:30 but many Italians eat after eight”(ITALY FOOD). For dinner I ordered antipasto, (“Which is a plate of Olives, Cheese, Salami, egg and tomato”)(“ITALY FOOD”). Fettuccine Alfredo and some Pork. I know it sounds gross but it was absolutely delicious.
I noticed that they have “different courses, like after the pasta course it would be followed by a kind of meat or fish” ("Food"). While I was walking down the street I “asked ten people for pasta sauce recipes. I ended up with ten different recipes, That’s how traditional their pasta sauce is” (“Interesting Facts & Information”). My advice? Go to Italy and try it yourself. You won't regret it!
Why do they eat dinner at such a late time?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the person, Like they'll wait until everyone is out of work to go eat dinner. A lot of it is just them wanting to eat at a late time.
DeleteThe huge amount of tomatoes grown there must be why they have so many different pasta sauces. I had antipasto as the first part of my meals in Italy too. Did you get to try any of the desserts while you were there?
ReplyDeleteNo unfortunately I didn't I was way too full to even think about dessert.
