You're also right, there is much more to Italian cuisine than pasta and pizza. They also do yummy fish and meat dishes. My favorite is called "Saltimbocca", it's a thin veal cutlet with smoked ham and sage, and it's usually served with risotto.

I still like pizza and pasta, but my wife doesn't care for it all that much. However, she loves lentils and I'm not a big fan. So we eat more lentils than the other things. I deal with it even though I don't like the lentils that much. I guess it's mainly a cultural thing since I grew up in the U.S. and we ate a lot of Italian food in my family, whereas my wife is from Ecuador and their diet was big on beans, lentils, and rice. <br /> <br />So it goes. I do all the cooking in the house. I don't fix much Italian food but I fix beans or lentils with rice nearly every week.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222346584322197076.post-63130788128621251032022-04-19T10:38:31.391-07:002022-04-19T10:38:31.391-07:00I love pongal (the dish), pongal (the festival) an...I love pongal (the dish), pongal (the festival) and pizza and pasta.

Since I have always been in Mumbai, some of the essence of the festival has gotten diluted - the zeal with which it is probably celebrated in Tamil Nadu, especially in villages is probably a little subdued up north (relatively). But the treat remains a favourite! Pizza and pasta, again two lip smacking favourites. <br /><br />Here's my post for P: <br /><a href="https://fictionpies.com/2022/04/p-panchatantra-2022-a-z.html">Panchatantra</a><br /><a href="https://fictionpies.com">Deepa from FictionPies</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/08190726711949079567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222346584322197076.post-69232325585519787572022-04-19T05:08:22.935-07:002022-04-19T05:08:22.935-07:00Enjoyed learning about Pongal.

Second, are you in Tamil Nadu? I went to school there for a few years when I was young (11-14). I was at an international school and did not learn about Pongal. I hope that nowadays - with a more globalistic world, international schools are more intent about ensuring education about the country they are in. It sounds like a great festival!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870283055927616591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222346584322197076.post-16217132064044871472022-04-19T00:24:01.559-07:002022-04-19T00:24:01.559-07:00Super.
