Mangia Mangia Mangia

It’s about time I start talking about the one thing that goes hand and hand with Italian culture...FOOD!! To this day every meal I have eaten is like a feast, you name it pasta, pizza, risotto, sandwiches, meat... we cook it all, better than anyone. We truly are masters of our craft. But food is so much more than simply eating for us, it’s an art. Recipes have been passed down through the generations and have made their way into Italian households, supermarkets and restaurants around the globe. Food is what brings us together, any family function I attend has more food than we can consume. In my house dinner time is family time, so every night regardless of how much homework or studying me and my siblings have, we must stop whatever we’re doing and gather at the table. Usually for dinner my mom prepares either a pasta, risotto or a meat, some sort of vegetables (e.g. rapini), and salad. Afterwards we usually have an espresso with either fruit or biscotti. Some might say it’s a little much but eh, “È una cosa Italiana!”(It’s an Italian Thing!)
