New Member - An Italian In New York

[microstrip]

(...) Bigger mistake was to accept having them include dinner at the end of the day trip. I don't recall having worse food in my life, with stale bread and some other dish I don't care to remember. (...)

You were really unlucky - italians are some of the best cookers in the world. But they try to feed foreigners with pizza and pasta, hiding their fantastic cooking for themselves ...

I have been there several times and had some delicious meals - they cook wild mushrooms better than no one else in the world!

Italians are also the best designers in the world! ...Cars, architecture, clothing, shoes, loudspeakers, food, women, etc., etc., etc.

Eheheheheheh...

@ Microstrip
Well, thanks to acknowledge Italy as the best place for food... I had a kind of fight in my lab about this statement, thus being considered "nationalistic"
Anyway, pizza and pasta are some of the milestones in Italian kitchen. When I had guests from abroad I've always invited them to try some. I could live without the steaks a la "fiorentina", but I couldn't imagine Italy without spaghetti with clams or a nice pizza!

Thanks! Yes, Italy has a great tradition for design... anyway, maybe you'll be surprised to know that, whether the average Italian would kill for a Maserati Granturismo, usually the luxury sedans that you'll see will be German. Women are great, but they can be really tough! (hope that my girlfriend won't read this forum )

Women are tough everywhere. I'm married to a woman from NJ and they don't come much tougher than that unless you go next door to Philadelphia.
