  1. all i have to say is yum,nothing better than fresh italian cooking with olive oil, garlic on anything.It's the best.
  2. No. It is not true. Nowadays in Italy most women are not housewives so they have not time to cook so much. But even if they have time, they cook max 2 times a day, not 3. In Italy breakfast is not a meal important like in USA. For breakfast we eat only cafe or milk or tea and some sweet, like croissant or cookies, or bread with jam. It a very fast meal and nobody cook for breakfast. Lunch and dinner have usually 2 curses each: a "primo", pasta or soup or rice, and a "secondo", meat or fish. Sometimes there is also a dessert and a appetizer. But when you eat at home is not very common to have both primo and secondo, unless it is an important meal, for example if you have invited friends, or if it an important day. So often you have only one course for each meal even in Italy.
  3. i like Italian food a lot. although I'm puerto rican but i like it.
  4. most of the full time house wife,yes they cook three time at day, but i m not sure if all cook three courses..
