    I have an Italian grandma and one time after school she made me and my sister lunch and I said: “I’m not hungry” and my grandma said back to me: “sweetie are you trying to put me in the grave?” I said no and ended up eating 3 plates of food.

      😂😂😂😂 so relatable. I am italian, and one time my nonna cooked cullurialli (which is like potato dough fried) and I refused to eat some because I was on diet. She didn't talk to me for 2 days. She was right tho! Can't wait to be the perfect italian grandma and stuff my grandchildren with food 😍

      ti rispondo in italiano anche se so l'inglese, ma non sono un marchettaro-anglofono e quindi parlo orgogliosamente nella mia lingua, sperando che tu mi possa comprendere, se davvero sei italiana come fai intendere. Ti dico la verità: la parmigiana è uno dei miei piatti preferiti ed anche in Italia , in base a regione a regione ,ognuno applica delle cambiamenti-variazioni alla ricetta originale. Alcuni ad esempio mettono il prosciutto, altri le uova, c'è chi le melanzane le fa bollire al posto che friggerle. Ora ti dico la verità, non avevo mai sentito dire prime di 'sto video della ''chicken parmigiana'', però ti dirò, l'accostamento del pollo alla parmigiana non mi pare così blasfemo, anzi, mi invoglia quasi a provarla. Ripeto, rispetto ad altri stravolgimenti che fanno gli americani alle nostre ricette nazionali ( vedi pizza hawaiana con ananas) questa della parmigiana col pollo mi pare tutto sommato la meno blasfema.

Even though there are more natives in what we call "the interior" of the country (not the capital, more in the north), most of us have white ancestors. We're still latinos though

This is how we are americans ♥️🇺🇸. Many of us had to assimilate and love this country so we don't really care to speak Italian in our homes. We know pre industrial italian or bastardized versions. Our food has multi-regional elements from Sicily to Piemonte. You will see a family of half Lingurian, half abruzzese descent mixing food and passing it down. Carbs meet the demand for blue collar work today around 5. Sunday dinners usually start between 2 and 4 but that's usually the only day you really get to have family. Many of us are working class some of us are really successful. Many people hate us and think we are criminals. This is how we are♥️ 🇮🇹. we have much closer family's than most ethnicities we usually choose to live within close proximity to our grandparents and cousins and a similar ethicity sometimes follows in closeness to us, (French, greeks, Portuguese). Some of us have 3 generations in a house here in the north. Many of us trusts family before the authorities or the the church. Some of us believe in the evil eye stregheria, we believe in blending in and respecting the customs of where we are and to uphold them. We have made the choice in some areas to bring italian to schools with italian american populations to revive a sense of culture. This is how it was for my family and my journey in the self segregated north. We pray for Italy🇮🇹✝️🇮🇹 please be safe on lockdown🙏✝️. Dont get sick!

When he saw me with wet hair he got upset about the possibly of me dying from a cold, and my dad had to calm him down. It didn't help when my dad told him that nobody in Canada worries about getting a cold and freezing to death, even in winter because of wet hair, and they're not dead yet. Lol

      I am also Italo Canuck,my father's sister in Italy also believes in the same thing. We are from the progressive north in Italy , that is why we vote Conservative, here in Canada. But they are so backwards over in Italy , I tried to explain about viruses etc, example I ended up with a sinus infection in Geneva, by the time I arrived in Italy , I was spitting a lot , disgusting , yes it was. I spoke to a pharmacist in Italy she told me , she would have to order a penicillin injection for me , unless it is real bad we have not used them in Canada since the 70's, I told her forget it and rode it out. Since I have been using alcohol spray on my hand's in Canada , I have not cold in years.

    I had an Italian grandmother who thought it was more important to get her nails done than learn to cook. Thanks grandmother Angela you taught me well.
