Description

Italians like to discuss food. The smell of a simmering ragú, the arrangement of the nearby wine, the remembrance of the previous dinner: Italians examine these particulars as normally once we speak about politics or activities, and frequently using the same flared emotions. In Why Italians Like to Talk About Food, Elena Kostioukovitch examines the trend that first hit her like a beginner to Italy: the German “culinary signal,” or method of speaking about food. On the way, she catches the intense regional pride that provides German food its amazing variety.
