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.

I also think food is good. So, did you learn to cook anything from Italy while you were on your mission? I'm sure that it's a whole lot better than what we eat here.
I agree with you as far as your assumption about "American" food goes. I don't think that there's necessarily an "American" food though. Like you said we have just taken the food from many other cultures and made it for easy access. I'm Latino so I also know about good food. I've always made the assumption that Americans eat foods that are very bland. Having served in Italy what is your take on my assumption?
I definitely must agree that there is no place like italy!... and yes the food is amazing! After traveling there and eating traditional italian cuisine i have to make myself eat american food... it is nasty! That is so cool though did you go on your mission to Italy?! I am so jealous of you, it is my favorite place in the world!
I completley agree that food provides a great opportunity to socialize with friends and family. Some of my greatest memories with my friends from home is centered around food and I think it is amazing that you got to experience living in Italy.
I definitely need to slow down sometimes when I am eating. I tend to stuff myself as fast as I can so I can get on with my day, but I really should take time to enjoy my food and make meals that are worth taking time to eat.
that's so sweet that you lived in Italy. I bet the food was amazing.
