They? I guess we all just have our favorites and it's not uncommon for it to be our homes. I was in Italy a few years ago and expected to be blown away by the food. Tbh I've never really cared for Italian food but I was just sort of underwhelmed by the cuisine. I did get a good spicy clam and pasta dish (not a fan of pasta) there but that was the only standout for me.I love james gandolfini though. He was on my "list" for a long time.
Most of the tourist that come here don't go in the correct places, I'm not one of those guys saying: everywhere you go in Italy is so great the food. Shit it's not
but I'm not talking about what's favorites or not. It's just a fact that in such a small country like Italy is there are 120391023901293 different plates and way of cooking that make the italian cuisine unique in the whole world.
What I have noticed because of all my travelings is that most countries don't eat like we do, What I mean is that they mix a lot of first dish with second dish and they all eat it together. Plus most ppl have their taste so accustomed to their own usual food that they can't appreciate/understand how special and great are some cuisine, first of all the italian one
You all can say to me how great you can Eat in USA (sure I believe there are amazing restaurants there) I believe it but what YOU like and what's best is something completely different
I can bet one of my ball that for any place you can bring me there to eat I can show you one better here, in the years your ppl have spent conquering and fucking other countries we have spent it cooking
