You say Racconto dello Squalo, I say Favola ...Vic,<br /><br />You say <I>Racconto dello Squalo</I>, I say <I>Favola degli Squali</I>, let's call the whole thing off.<br /><br />I was once asked to take a market-survey questionaire at the local mall here (I guess were Middle American to the nth) about Olive Garden. It was when they were trying to push themselves as purveyors of authentic cuisine. ("I got back from Italy and couldn't find the tastes of Tuscany... until I went to the Olive Garden!" or the like.) I just laughed at it. I finally told the poor, non-plussed survey ladies: hey, I like the Olive Garden fine for what it is. But it ain't the food you find in Italy. That really didn't fit in on any of the check boxes. And it was apparently insufficient to stop the marketing juggernaut...<br /><br />Guglielmo degli Gallesi<br />(Bill Walsh)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
