A friend just visited, her first time on the Continent. One of her few intractable goals for the trip was to have "real Italian pizza." Well my dear, this is Italy but it's a long way from pizza country. Have an espresso and calm down.
But she was relentless and even announced her plan proudly to the Italian, adding that the full dream included eating said pizza cold the next morning over a kitchen sink, as she does normally at home, only now in the country of its glorious origin.
