Ah, the memories of food in Italy is a fond one for me. My family and I<br>
lived in Naples 1977-80. Croquettes, chicken fried in old oil used to
cook<br>
calimari, vino, cafe expresso, and capucchino; especially when working
the<br>
night watch. One treat is mozzarella cheese made with the milk of water<br>
buffalo. Mozzarella cheese made in the U.S. is an ersatz bland version.<br>
Have you tried it?<br>

--------{begin quote}
One reason that Italian cuisine is so good is that most Italians
think of food frequently throughout the day. Planning, thinking,
preparing, so that by mealtime, they have put far more thought into
their meal than any other culture I know.
One afternoon when I visited the National Etruscan Museum at Villa
Giulia (Rome) with Silke, we discovered the reason behind the
Italians' food thought-processes. They have had 2000 years to
develop it from the Etruscans! At the museum we saw an exhibit
titled 'Etruscans and Food', where we saw descriptions of the
contents of their food, how they prepared their food, and how they
ate their food (dinnerware). So you see you can do it too, but
you might need 2000 years for your brain develop the skill...
