Life is too short to spend one minute of it with Obama.

Pasta is one of the many ways us Italian ladies show love. If I offer you a plate of veggies, you might as well go to sleep.

I ate pasta in Italy a few months ago. Was great, portions small and the meatballs looked like large gum balls.

Pizza sucked.

wine, coffee and vegetables...I knew that was a good diet for mental health.

They left out chocolate. I question their scientific credentials.

I was in a hotel by the Vatican and was eating Pizza in several shops around in all directions for over a week.

They were not very good compared to mom and pa places here in the USA.

Their pasta though was made fresh and it tasted great.

Where in Italy? Was there adequate sweetness in the sauce?

The flavor was missing compared to all the other foods IMO.

Figure a 3-4 block radius around the Vatican. Even the Pope couldn’t help on this one.

Wheat is just plain bad for you, all around.

Some day, ADM's political influence will wane, and doctors will feel free to again admit this truth.

American pizza is far superior, just not that bastardized Chicago kind.

New York was great years ago and now California is doing it well.

Or pretty much any liberal Marxist for that matter.

They were not very good compared to mom and pa places here in the USA.

We traveled from Naples to Rome to Florence to Venice to Como. Had pizza everywhere except Venice (ate seafood there). After first trying pizza in Naples, I realized that the food was not comparable to pizza in the US. I don't mean to say that American pizza (from a local pizzeria) is bad. It's just that the Italian version is made differently. The crust is almost papery thin and the sauce is light and fresh. They look at you funny if you eat it with your hands. I had one pizza with fresh prosciutto that was amazing. I want to go back just for that.

The pizza in Virginia continues to improve as well. I conduct a study every Friday, as there is no meat on Fridays in a real Italian home.
