Food, I like it.
This English class has an emphasis on food. Not exactly what I was expecting but it sounds like it will be fun. Having lived in Italy for a few years I have come to love the fine dining of that great land. Pasta and so much more. Food there is more than a meal, it is an experience. It is a time to sit down with family and friends to enjoy a great meal and socialize. One of the reasons I think the food is so good there is that they take their time in cooking it and eating it. American food is quite different. A lot of the food we eat is the food of other cultures that has ben made faster for a dirve-through or frozen for microwaveable. Eating has become one more thing added to our "to do list" and is done more out of necesity rather for enjoyment. While some times this is nessasary in our fast paced world it is also good to take you time as well.
