Lunch
Lunch, or "pranzo" in Italian, is one of my favorite parts of the day. During school, we get a 15-minute break to gets snacks or drinks but it's not really school lunch like we have. Instead, we eat lunch at home after school, which ends at 1:30. Typically, we have pasta for the first course, like spaghetti bianco (spaghetti without sauce, but lots of butter), or lasagna, or noodles. Then, for the second course, we have chicken with potatoes or steak, or pork. I'm always full. Then we usually end lunch with fruits, such as apples or mandarin oranges (which are very cheap and popular here).

ReplyDeleteHi, Casey! Sounds like you're having quite an adventure! In my French II class we've been studying French meals and had a section on their cheeses. John Brethauer got talking about an Italian cheese called casu marzu, which sounded so weird that we had to look it up online. I'm sure you've tried many new things, but if you ever try this cheese, I'd have to say you were crazy! Have you heard of it? I see it has been outlawed in Italy, but it would be interesting to see what your hosts have to say about it. We had our RCCC Christmas concert today. We held it in the sanctuary of the new Calvary Lutheran church. It went well, but was a bit short, as far as RCCC concerts go. I'll look forward to hearing all about your holiday excursions. What a experience!
