People like what they're used to. The refugees aren't being fed normal Italian food - it's pasta in tomato sauce day-in and day-out. Obviously beggars can't be choosers, and they're acting like spoiled brats, but I can understand being bored with the same thing over and over. But not enough to mount a protest over, while a refugee in a foreign country. The problem is that the EU has this laundry list of illegal alien rights that precludes the Italian authorities from chloroforming the illegals, taking them hundreds of miles out into the Atlantic, and putting them on life rafts with paddles, a GPS and several weeks' worth of water and food, so they can make their way home, via slow raft to Africa.
Nah, I think I would buy them all train tickets to Brussels and let ground zero of the EU deal with it.
My immigrant grandparents ate polenta, macaroni, and tomato sauce morning, noon and night for decades.
