I would like to go out in the same manner!

A tasty treat and a superb double feature with The Cook, the Thief, the Wife and Her Lover!
Nothing exists more beautifully than nothing.
It would have taken a long time for Tognazzi and Mastroianni to eat themselves to death as they had an unfair advantage. It's a well-documented fact that no Italian can go without eating for more than five minutes - and that's pushing it.
shareYou must be an Albanian then.
Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.
LOL! No, I'm worse. My ancestry is Sicilian. We can't go without eating for more than three minutes.
shareDo you weigh 600 lbs.?
Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.
I would if not for the natural olive oil glands which break down the fats and keep us at relatively stable weights. It is also the reason we don't get pimples. They slide off.
shareHilarious! Best posts I have in for a long time.
Just when you thought Racism couldn't get any more Racismer.
It's not racism if it's your own race and it's true. We are Sicilian, therefore we eat...and eat, and eat, and eat, etc.
shareThat's ridiculous. Most sicilians barely survived in such poverty, eating mostly lentils.
Besides all that southern/med cuisine is incredibly easy and light for those who are from northern countries where loads of butter, cream and meat are usual. A Sicilian dinner is a snack for a Belgian.
Bolshoi! Periods of hunger have afflicted all Europeans at some time. We Sicilians are proud of our gluttony, and we are the masters of it. To a Sicilian, eating every forty-five minutes is a diet. Belgi mangiano fagioli e rompono il vento. Io rutto nella loro direzione generale.
shareI don't know what Sicilia you are talking about, to me the food and and eating habits are quite moderate, yes more hearthier than in Calabria but nothing compared to what's eaten in Bologna and its surrounding areas where pork, animal fats and butter are kings and present anything but "meditrerranean diet" unlike which is done in most of Italy. Sicilians eat very little pork compared to most Europeans and when they cook beef or veal (or horse in Catania) it's as thin as a paper. The food is similar to what is eaten in North Africa, Middle-East and Greece, places where Sicilians have their roots. A lot of vegetables, fish on the coasts, lamb and rabbit inner island. And the meat has been reserved for the wealthy minority through out most of the history as Sicilians have generally been some of the poorest people in Europe except during the time when the Arabs or Normans ruled the island. When I walk through the streets of Palermo with pani ca meusa in my hands, I see locals eating something much more lighter.
shareYou, sir or madame, are a fraud. My father's family was from Messina and my mother's family was from Plaermo. As a youth, after my discharge from the American Army, I spent the entire summer of 1970 working on my relatives' fishing boats. What we ate, whatever we ate, we consumed in mass quantities.
Even though he was from Lombardia, "La grande bouffe" could not have been made without the brilliant acting talents and gargantuan eating proclivities of the late, great, Ugo Tognazzi. Only God knows what magnificent levels of gluttony he would have achieved if he'd been Sicilian.
Forza Di Siciliana!
No, it's more in the case of you not knowing much due lack of any kind of comparison. It's like saying your girlfriend has the biggest tits in the world without ever seeing another pair. Or let's say I raise cattle, me, mom and pops, uncle Frankie and cousin Vinnie stuff ourselves with steaks multiple times every day, surely that makes the whole surrounding population the biggest beef eaters in the world.
Sicilian food is known in Europe but not for gluttony. Maybe you should check some statistics. Italy isn't even in European top10 per capita meat consumption, and most of the meat is consumed in the Northern half of Italy.
And what's with those lame expressions, why doesn't a Sicilian use some real Sicilian sayings... oh wait.. you aren't... your an US American.
