That is the closest thing about having a cake and eating it too. Now, I am going a little further with this idea because my brothers came to mind. I remember they went to France when they were about 20 years old. On their return, the answer, when they were asked about the food was “it is –sfi zioso (= cute, fun)- but not real food. I would say that my brothers would have been the ones to miss “the peanut butter sandwich.” When you travel in Italy, at least when I was growing up there, “Italian” restaurants were the only game in town. When I returned after a few years, a few Chinese restaurants opened up, McDonalds and KFC made their way into the food scene, but did not last long. Yes, now you can get a hamburger in Italy, but it only speaks Italian. I would say it is a lost relative of the American hamburger. The bottom line…..Italian would miss their peanut butter sandwich!!!! Until next time, keep on cooking.
