Quote of the Day - Italian Food (12/30/2024)

“Portion control is part of the ritual: a primo might be pasta but just 250 grams, and a secondo could be fish (healthy protein and fat). In these unspoken rules lie the greatest satisfaction. There is no better feeling that eating a fresh plate of pasta and vongole and then taking a dip in the sea (although one must wait an hour before swimming to digest or also risk to instantly become ill — something else French people also abide by).”
