Oh must be a newer thing. Legitimately never seen it and my relatives there always thought it was hilarious that it's the image of Italian food in North America.

pasta and meatballs is
well, spaghetti and meatballs is bullshit for sure.
like I said the ones fresh out of the pan, with nothing but some crusty bread, is the good stuff.

Good lord. If that's true then that really is criminal. For 20+ bucks a pop at least fucking cook your pasta properly.

Oh not denying it's good. I've spent a lot of time all round Italy and have never seen meatballs, outside of maybe finger food appetizers like CH1. Not arguing just genuinely curious. Not too surprised since shit varies so much region to region over there, including the fucking language.

Well I can't say much, my town is essentially a small rural town in Alabama or some shit. Hick central and we managed to turn a beautiful language into some real ugly shit with 90% of the words completely made up.
I don't really understand people from Sicily or Milano especially. Can kind of understand some of other regions but it's a struggle. Such a stupid country. There are like 9000 different languages.

The North might be weird, but there's no Italian economy without it. South of Rome is basically one big Newfoundland economically -- but much worse. the hard workers are all criminals.

wasn't really a country until fairly recently -- for most of history, they were just city states going to war vs each other.

I lived in the Bronx for a summer -- the locals just knock of the last syllable on almost every food item. ie. Prosciutto is pronounced Prosciutt.

Here's a fun question I didn't know where else to put.
If you had the opportunity to bang a pretty hot soap actress, except that she's older than you, in this (hypothetical, of course) case, slightly over 50 to your slightly over 40 - though she looks 40 - would you do it? And part 2, would you do it in the midst of a global pandemic where you don't know who's got what?
