Ode to Italian Food

Have you ever met anyone who didn't like italian food? Well, anyone who wasn't trying to lose weight that is...
I sure haven't! And it's delicious! So why not write an ode to Italian? ...Food, that is! (But I've heard the men are pretty spicy themselves! Mamma mia!)
Disregarding the spice factor of Italian boys, when people think Italian, they usually think pizza. It's everywhere! From Pizza Hut to Papa John's to Caesar's Pizza Pizza! I believe there is something to be said for better pizza than the pizza you hear about on TV... Pizzas that are fired in an oven to a crispy golden brown! The crust is crispy, and the cheese has its own special crisp in the little brown spots on the top. The people who really take the time and effort to make a good pizza... These people are artists!
Okay, another food I'm pretty sure is Italian is spaghetti (Though some people tell me it's Chinese. But they're just un-American)! You know what I love about spaghetti? The noodles. And the sauce. Just spaghetti in general is good.
And canoles! And ravioli! And other italian things! Like pistachios!
You know what I like? Bertolli! That's a good commercial. It's like there's these lil' Italian chefs and all they know how to say is "Bertolli..." So you know it's about Bertolli. But I think it's supposed to be about how Bertolli is better than Italian chefs. Bertolli is some kind of frozen dinner or pasta or something. Anyway, Bertolli is better than Italian chefs so you should buy Bertolli. Bertolli! The brand that makes REAL CHEFS sad.
So yummers right? I decided I could either make you hungry or I could write about Bertolli... I just didn't feel like making anyone hungry today!
