You thought killing the pig each year and having salami, capacollo, pancetta and prosciutto hanging out to dry from your shed ceiling was absolutely normal. 08. You ate pasta for dinner at least three times a week, and every Sunday, and laughed at the commercial for Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti day.i still eat pasta atlesat 3x a week 09.

I like this one...I currently eat rice the most (because I am chinese) so I love eating Italian whenever possible. This is the same with Japanese food- Salmon sashimi yum |
