Appendix B:
The food patterns and preferences of the Italian culture are very
traditional. They consider meal time a family afair. It is customary for
the entire family to sit down for at least one meal a day, usually dinner.
They have an average of 4 courses. Starting with a deli meat or fruit
appetizer, followed the main course, then a salad and then a cofee. They
believe that eating roughage after the main course aids in digestions.
They also eat smaller portions, in a “family style” setting, meaning they
prepare a large batch, and pass the bowl so each person can get their
own serving. A lot of times an event will be centered around a meal. They
do not take their food lightly. There are two cardinal rules of Italian
cuisine -- eat locally and eat seasonally (USA Today, 2014). They take
pride in their cuisine. Follow unit 9 with Appendix A and then Appendix
B as described in the table of contents.
