A couple of weeks ago I went to Rome for a meeting. Of course we did what we had to do and decided to have dinner one night in a nice Italian restaurant and have a pizza. I was telling my friends about my "australian family" (yes thats you guys!) and the fact that you were originally from Italy and always overfed me (well mum did), making sure I took more food and finished it all (;-) you know I'm not exagerating!).
At the end of the meal the waiter came to take the plates. I was the only one with some pizza left in my plate. The waiter looked at me and said : You didn't finish the pizza!
Me (in a very nice and polite tone): That was delicious, such a nice pizza, but I had so much to eat I really am full and can't finish it.
The waiter: You finish your pizza, I'll come back when you're done
????? I was speachless, no waiter has ever done that to me!! They don't usually force you to finish your food!
The waiter came back: You still haven't finished your pizza
Me: I know and I won't....
The waiter left again without my plate!!!
Bless the waiter! Bless Carmela! Bless Italians!
