  • About

If it is true, as Alexandre Dumas père remarks, that the English live on roast beef and pudding; the Dutch on oven-cooked meat, potatoes and cheese; the Germans on sauerkraut and bacon; the Spanish on chickpeas, chocolate and rancid bacon; and the Italians on macaroni, do not be too surprised if I keep coming back to this topic, since I have, after all, always loved this pasta. Indeed, I once very nearly acquired the distinguished name of Macaroni-Eater, and I will tell you why.
