Ciao all!
I have already covered breakfast and lunch in my blogs. So I thought it would be appropriate to cover a traditionaly dinner here in Italia. :-)
The dinner would start out with the L'antipasto, which would be the appetizer. It would include an assortment of meats, cheeses and olives served with bread. Next would be the La Prima Piatta, which is almost always a pasta dish. The main course would be the La Seconda Piatta. It would include meat or seafood, served with a vegetable side or salad. Finally, the Il dulce would be the dessert. That would include an assortment of fresh fruits or sweets.
That dinner would be a simple one. A more extravagent one would have:
- Antipasto
- Soup
- Pasta
- Intermezzo (sorbet)
- Main Course
- Salad
- Cheese
- Sweets
- Coffee
After THAT dinner you would definately be estremamente completo (extremely full)! But of course, after maybe a few minutes after that kind of dinner, I can bet my brothers would be hungry for more food. *sigh*...I really and truly don't understand how they can eat that much food. Now that I am hungry from talking about all this food, I will leave you with this one phrase,
Soggiorno fame miei amici (Stay hungry my friends).
