That’s what’s great about food disputes: Everyone is right, because taste is wholly subjective.
I know; my Spanish wife loves Italian (which I think can be tasty, but is too filling) while I prefer the Iberian stuff. Friends who visited Italy liked the food but were shocked at how small the portions were (in a good way). They said there were few fat people there, and the plates were half the size that we have in Italian restaurants here in the NYC area.
