Gremlins?
Ah. So, rather than crack down on the noisy hooligans, they’re going to shut down the poor schmucks trying to make a living.
Biden: Restriction on ice cream? What if that spreads to the US? I’ll be in the Situation Room. Get the Defense people here.
Mandate that they put sedatives in the evening gelato. Sales will rise and noise will abate. Everybody wins.
[Why Is Milan Poised to Ban Ice Cream and Pizza After Midnight?]
What if I’m making a long journey from Milan to Minsk and I need pizza and ice cream?

Well, if you really want ice cream, you may be out of luck. There's plenty of gelato which is very similar to ice cream, but is not ice cream.
And for pizza, if you want the famous pizza napoletana, a real official one, then you need a DOC pizzeria as defined by the Denominazione di Origine Controllata. The dough contains nothing but flour, yeast, salt and water. The cheese may not be fior di latte (cow's milk mozzarella) but must be mozzarella di bufala (buffalo milk mozzarella). They know how to regulate everything in Europe, even pizza. That said, there is just lots of good pizza, so I would say get the pizza in Italy. I doubt any American chain pizza maker could survive there.
Would love to travel there to try some!
Second and third shift workers hit hardest.
They don’t exist in politicians pampered world.
I’m for banning food commercials after 7:00PM. They only serve to make me want to snack . . which is bad for me. I have willpower but I’m lacking in won’tpower.
Are those metaphors for something else?
Many Europeans don’t start an evening meal until 9pm or later. Craving pizza or gelato after midnight is normal, particularly given how Italians like to combine eating, conversing, and (often) singing into an hours long event. Milan is shooting itself in the foot — control the noisemakers, not the vendors.
How very Mussolini of them.
Noise complaints because people are eating ice cream?
My thought exactly!
Thank you for calling “Ask a Farmer” with your question of: “What’s a metaphor?”
It’s where the cows eat.
