More Italian Food!!!


Hey, again! Since Italians are so serious about food, I will spend some more time talking about our customs on meals. :) To start off the day, we usually eat a light breakfast and many of us drink a cappuccino with bread, butter, jam, or cake. Lunch is one of my favorite meals because it is our main meal here served with antipasto (an appetizer based on cold meats), a pasta or rice dish such as risotto, a main meat or fish course, a salad, and fruit and cheese. Lunch is usually at 2:00 p.m. Dinner is very similar to lunch with a primo and secondo piatto (1st and 2nd courses) and it is eaten at around 7:30. Of course, we have dessert too! For example, we have biscotti, amaretto truffles, tiramisu, and, my personal favorite, chocolate!
