7 reasons why you can't be Italian AND beach body ready
1. You're friends don't eat enough - One slice of chicken, 2 potatoes and a small portion of veg won't keep a sparrow alive mate. We need atleast 10 of EVERYTHING, and maybe a second plate if we're still peckish.
2. "But when you going to eat? Take this in case you get hungry along the way" - You're going out for the day and that's the first thing you're mum says, before you know it you've got a picnic basket of food just for a day shopping in Cambridge (because there can't possible be anywhere to grab food?!)
3. La famiglia - You only went round for a cup of tea and maybe a biscuit but a buffett of ham & cheese's come out of nowhere. "Ok, if you insist."
4. Olive Oil solves everything - You can't even have a salad without Olive Oil. We'd bath ourselves in it if we could (actual true story of my Nonno thinking it was tanning oil but that's for another day!). We might not be size 6 but we've got skin as soft as a baby's bottom, that's something right?
5. No such thing as 'just a sandwhich' - If you ever organise a picnic with Italians and they say their bringing sandwhiches what they really mean is their bringing; Lasagne, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Pizza, Chicken Goujons, Tomato & Mozzerella salad, Proscuitto, Cheese board and the list goes on. There might be some bread if you want to make yourself a sandwhich........
6. "You're to thin, you need to eat" - You could be 40st and everyone think's your anorexic
7. Nonni - Grandparents, need I say more? You might think you're full, but Nonna knows best. She'll tell you when you've had enough so until then, keep eating!!!
