Understanding Italian Food it's not only understand Food, but its place in what we call costume e cultura - the local culture, which differs from village to village in every region of Italy.
Also speak about "Italian Food" in Italy its not easy because from north to south, city to country, region to region, everyone has a different view of what should go into a dish.
People talk endlessly about food in Italy and everyone is a Teacher....
You can go to the mechanical and hear arguments about who makes the best "Culatello of Zibello". It's not an exxageration.
My father, every saturday, goes to see how his salami's friends are feeling....
I have friends who are racing with their salumi (salumi is not salami, salumi are all kind of gourmet like Parma ham, Culatello, Salami, Pancetta and so on)
Every "mamma" is the better cook for her son....
