Gift Giving With An Italian Feast

I highly doubt I know anyone who does not like Italian cuisine! Who doesn't enjoy the smells of rich tomato sauce, warm onions, and newly made bread? If anyone excels at comfort food, it's the Italians! Regrettably, I do not have a single ancestor from Italy, but despite this, that does not mean I do not adore the customs, language, and naturally the cuisine and red wine. Since I myself am not from an Italian family, I am intrigued by the ceremony and customs that envelop an Italian table. I have researched typical Italian table etiquette and have decided to reveal a few of them here. To begin with, before sitting down at the table, any newby should understand that an Italian meal is not a swift event, but can potentially last as many as three hours. This means, take a seat, relax, and savor your food at a steady pace. It is traditional for each invitee to bring a favorite plate to contribute. What this means is there might be as many as ten courses in a night. At this point I would like to offer a word of warning not to help yourself too much too fast. With such a selection different dishes to taste it is smart to save room for a little bit of everything. Make sure you arrive on time! In the kindest of Italian customs, no one will eat until every last guest has arrived. In order not to inconvenience everyone else, make sure not to be late. The most important advice I can give you is to let go of any stress you have and just thoroughly indulge in the meal! Italians will generally rest seated at the table long after they have finished eating solely to take pleasure in each others company. I can't think of a better way to kick back and shrug off the heavy problems of each and every day! Now I'm sure after reading this you are going to want to head to the nearest Italian restaurant or call your closest Italian friend and invite yourself over for dinner. Another choice for a deep Italian yearning is to order in... by that I mean purchase an Italian Gift Basket on the web from Baskets By Rita. This Italian Housewarming Gift Basket is a good way to say welcome, thank you, or Happy Holidays! It contains organic pasta, pasta sauce, Italian wafer cookies, artisan breadsticks, herb cheese spread, summer sausage, green olives, almonds, and espresso candy. Since we've already decided that everyone delights in Italian cuisine, how could you possibly go wrong? http://www.basketsbyrita.com/Italian-Gift-Basket-_p_405.html
