Where I come from, the “savages” in our history were Apaches, not Aztecs!!!!

The Apaches were also at a much lower level of civilization than Aztecs, Maya, etc. They wouldn’t raise the horses they needed for their raids, but always stole them from other Natives or whites!! It took a lot of doing to defeat the Apaches, and to pacify the Southwest.

By the way, the vast major of the deaths of Natives after the arrival of Europeans were unintentional—due to smallpox and other diseases. The immune systems of the Natives were unable to cope with Eurasian microbes, and no one understood why until the advent of modern immunology!

Most of our Italian family married Irish
They make beautiful babies. And they love our Italian food. If the women are Irish and ate they are smart and let their husbands cook and the women do the dishes. Italian food is the best.

LOLs! Wonderful! I certainly agree, it is the best! Which, when compared to Irish food, is like going from zero to ninety in three seconds. Except for Irish breakfasts. Nothing beats bacon, eggs, oatmeal, potatoes, toast, Irish butter and sharp cheese, and coffee.

Having been raised by the dour, disapproving type of Irish, I moved in adulthood to an Italian neighborhood and was reborn to an atmosphere of affection, enjoyment, music and arts, laughter, and wonderful food. I got re-nurtured. I honor my "adopted" Italian mom as much, and sometimes more, than my own mom.

Don’t forget the cooked tomatoes for a true Irish breakfast.

Italians in the other side don’t know breakfast it’s coffee or expresso with a biscotti.

Irish food has no taste. Everything is boiled with no seasoning.
