2. Italy and spaghetti
- Don’t ever try to roll or try to
eat spaghetti with a spoon.
- It is literally forbidden to break
spaghetti when cooking it.
3. More pasta rules!
- Whatever type of pasta you are cooking, you should never let it get too bland, it
has to be <al dente>: not too hard to break your teeth but soft enough to chew
it properly.
4. Italy and wine
- You should expect for your
wine glass to be filled a few
times during dinner, if you
don’t want more wine, don’t
drink all the wine, simply stop
drinking as soon it is filled
again, don’t you dare taking a
sip again because you will have
to keep drinking until you
finish it.
5. People in Italy
- When you meet someone in the
street, it is mandatory to say hello
with a cheek kiss, if you don’t do this
you will be considered a pretty rude
person.
- It’s offensive to visit someone house
without bringing something edible
like a bottle of wine or chocolate
bonbons.
