Hi guys, back from the South of Italy!!!!
Sies man it was hot ek se, 45 degrees and humid as hell, with mosquitoes too- felt like being in Durban!!!!
Okay, why is Italian food in Italy so unlike Italian food anywhere else? I mean, the basic recipes are quite simple but the taste is amazing- far better than the kak they serve up in Italian restaurants that I have been to in SA or in the UK? The ice-cream was "divine".
The South of Italy was very similar to the Cape with prickly pears, cedars and aloes as well!!!!!!!!
The only negative.- those dudes have a serious attitude problem, I mean they are seriously rude man!
PS. I have now found out where SA taxi drivers must go when they die, whoever let Italians drive must not have liked them very much or perhaps it is their method of population control seeing as the Pope does not condone contraception!
Anyway good to be back on virtual SA!!!!!
Answer on Why is Italian food in Italy not like Italian food anywhere else?
I am afraid you are wrong if you ask two of the most respected food critics in the world A. A. Gill and Giles Coren plus many others say that the best Italian restaurants in the world are those in London. I would give you that the cheap restaurants are far superior to the cheap restaurants anywhere in the world including unbeleivably France (their cheap restaurants are shocking).
