I’m enjoying your site! I have found it not only correct in so many ways, but amusing and helpful too. As an Italian-American who has lived in Italy for a number of years, and studied Italian “foodways” in my doctoral and post-doctoral research, it’s a relief to find some of your points, clarifications and comments.

Just got back from Italy, with most of my time spent this trip in the north, and — like Marco above — was looking up Polenta Taragna for a snowy day in Colorado. Yum!

Auguri!

Thanks Marco! Nice to meet you. If you have any suggestions or more comments, please send them my way!

I am a berganasco who came to the US more than thirty six years ago. I lived on the east coast, west coast and south: it is so true, in all these years, very rarely I have found authentic Italian restaurants, and none serving northern Italian dishes – which are quite distinct from central or southern. Indeed, the American idea of Italian cuisine is extremely narrow and confused. Thank you, this is an excellent site.

Thanks for stopping by! Great suggestion, thanks – you are right: two different worlds. I'll get on that, maybe a good subject for a podcast 🙂

Very enjoyable, well done! I would be interested to see your take on the north/south Italian differences regarding cuisine. I find it is like 2 different worlds.
