William Shakespeare

Dimmi come si mangia

What say you, how does one eat? Aye, 'tis a question that has been pondered since time immemorial. Do we savor or devour? Do we dine with delight or stuff our faces? How does one truly partake of the meal? Verily, I say the answer is simple: with pleasure. For why should we not enjoy the fruits of our labor? Be it a feast of epic proportions, or a simple meal of humble beginnings, one should take part with a heart filled with joy. For life is too short to not relish the flavors of the world. So, Dimmi come si mangia? I answer with a hearty and resounding 'Yes'. Yes, we should enjoy the meal and all its glory. For in the end, that is what truly matters. Enjoy the food, and enjoy the company, for what else is there in life?
