find out "What are your favourite traditional foods?"
I love Italian Food 3 years ago

Being of Italian heritage, my favourite foods are naturally anything European. I love home made ravioli, pizelles, tiramisu, cannoli, cannelloni, lasagne,gnocchi and the beautiful olive oils. I adore really good coffee and delectable sweet biscuits. My mouth is already watering…........

My favorite...

...traditional food that I was raised with is lefse. (My least favorite would be pickled herring!)

You must promise

That if you’re ever in Amsterdam and pass a herring cart, you’ll try one.

No? Ok, you don’t have to promise, but if you don’t like that pickled herring, then you really don’t like it.

And that confuses me.

It’s always good to try the best version of something before dismissing it.

Or, wait, it’s your “least favorite”—does that mean you still like it? Just not as much as your other favorites?

;)

I don't think...

...I can promise, if it’s still fish, since I rarely eat meat. (Not fully vegetarian, just meat of all kinds turns my stomach.)

Hmmmm… What’s the opposite of favorite?

sitio Every minute is a choice

I think

once you pickle the herring, it isn’t fish anymore, it’s actually a pickle, which is a vegetable.

You know, about the saddest of the favorites, that’s a very interesting question. If you say, “that’s my least favorite”, it implies that in the set of favorites, it is the one that garners the least favor.

So, what is the opposite of favor? Rancor? Antipathy? Disgust?

Honestly, you’re talking to a guy who when asked “please turn the A/C up” doesn’t know if I’m supposed to make it cooler or hotter in the room. And recall, I want the phrase to be “go forth and back” because I don’t see how you can go back and forth without going forth first.

Very good points...

...about the vegetable and the forth going first.

I have the same problem with the A/C issue.

Ah yes

nothing quite like comfort food is there? I think we all gravitate to it, if we are honest with ourselves….:)

Here are the things I love...

-anisette pretzel shaped cookies and anisette flavored fried….dough strips??
-bowtie fried cookies covered in this Moscatel sugar
-pizza..I guess it’s bread..Sicilian style and stuffed with all kinds of stuff
-manicotti, ravioli, gnocchi…all have to be homemade
-cheese and bread and wine on a platter…mmmm

have you ever had

“passatelli”? that’s my favourite italian food, but it’s typical of a very limited area. We even have a peculiar kitchen tool to prepare it (see photo).

Here is the recipe if you want to try it. It’s very simple and delicious, probably because there’s nutmeg! ;-}.

Oohhh...

... that does look good. I am having home made fettuccine tonight!!

Yes, Italian food is a very regional thing, isn’t it??

Thankyou for the link. I certainly will try it :)

EDIT: found a pic for you…

thinks maybe she should be looking into another attachment!

I think

I was an Italian in a past life. I love it all. I love to cook Italian food and love good quality simple and fresh pasta dishes. My dream holiday is a gastronomical tour of Italy :-)

Now...

... that does sound like an ideal holiday:)
