That's ridiculous. I only eat authentic Italian food made from scratch.

I’ve never been to Italy so I can not comment on that, strictly speaking American Italian food

I have no desire to go there. Would consider if someone bought my ticket and convinced my employer to not make me use leave either.

Why not?

Why not?

Very low on my vacation destination priority. Vatican would be nice. Perhaps will do that when I'm old and ready to die.

What's high on your list? I haven't been to Italy either--was just thinking about this myself. Curious how someone else who hasn't been there thinks about it. I like the idea of the history, I have some Italian heritage, enjoy wine regions but don't love the idea of some of the crowds in the major cities.

Italy is great. St Peter's is amazing. Walking thru the Vatican Museum is awesome if you like that "pushed thru tiny spaces like cattle kind of feel."

Went there in high school on a class trip (so this view could be skewed). Rome was neat, as was Assisi. I'd skip on Pisa, but I'd spend more time in Florence.

Heritage places. Normandy. Luxembourg. Germany. Austria. Feel like that could be a long and fun trip.

I'm not a wine guy and got no Italian in our fam so no connection with the place. The history stuff would be cool I bet.

I want nothing more than Dante to drop in here and rank his favorite sub places and then vanish again.

I can envision Dante coming out of this thing with NIL deals from a Mexican restaurant, a Pizza place, an Italian Restaurant, and a Sub Shop.

Went there this summer for 2 weeks on vacation. Went to Rome/VC, Assisi, Siena, Florence, Maranello (had to go see the Ferrari factory 😁), Orvieto and other parts of Tuscany/Umbria. The cathedrals/basilicas were amazing, even in the smaller towns. I felt like Florence and Rome were dirty/touristy, and really liked the small towns better. The food was outstanding virtually everywhere we went. It is definitely not the same as “Italian” food in the US as others have said. I highly recommend going if you ever have the chance.

It’s amazing to visit, I’d reconsider

So slept on,… this was the highlight of my trip. Talk about a time capsule.

The food was good but the traditional Italian food was really basic… too much so for me. I liked the fish and breads and gelatos more than the pizza and pastas

We should change the name of the thread to Dinty Moore Duck Stew

 

[notredomer23]

The best Italian food I've ever had was in Argentina, but that's not something this thread is ready for...

If someone pays for it, I'm in! Otherwise, I'll focus on the higher priority trips first!

The only country I completely default to as being better than we Americans are at steak,….

Absolutely. Place in my area is a regular steakhouse, but they brought a chef in to run their kitchen from Argentina. Cook their steaks at 1000 degrees on an open flame and season with nothing but sea-salt. Somehow the most flavorful cuts I've ever had.

 

[IrishLax]

Why not?

Because NorthDakota is uncultured swine

Why are we talking about traveling in the food thread?

i bet he takes his burger with nothing but a bun and American cheese,…

More than likely the cuts they use have exquisite marbling in the meat. If its cooked just right, the fat will render but not dry out the meat.

Secret to a good steak is all in the marble baby. The right amount of salt to brings out the flavour.

Again, I've said this so many times on this board... but simplicity is best.

Siena was may favorite personally. We were there during Il Campo, which is nuts.

The interior of the St Francis basilica was the one and only time in my life I had to sit down and take a moment to gather myself from the raw power of something,… I’ll never forget it. I hope to make it back one day

I get that way when I read Irishdrunks posts. But the raw power is stupidity

In Assisi? That town is the most peaceful place on earth.

Burgers are for the uncultured....but that sounds like a boring burger. could use mayo/miracle whip, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, ketchup, and mustard. Cheese I can live with or without.

And I'm plenty cultured! I've been to many museums!
