[re...] Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 http://www.littleitalysj.com/images/littleitalsj_gioia.jpg?crc=4032118994 The problem with the world today is that there aren't enough Italians. They're just not making them like they used to. They're a dying breed - which is a shame, because what this place needs right now is a Little Italy. Non è vero? We need some Italian food and Italian fashion, Italian vacations and Italian pictures, Italian stories, Italian jokes, Italian cinema and Italian music. Speaking of which, I'll get things started with a fun little song. Fun - but also romantic, and elegant. That's Italian. L'Italiano The Gypsy Queens Buongiorno Italia gli spaghetti al dente e un partigiano come Presidente con l'autoradio sempre nella mano destra e un canarino sopra la finestra Buongiorno Italia con i tuoi artisti con troppa America sui manifesti con le canzoni con amore con il cuore con più donne sempre meno suore Buongiorno Italia buongiorno Maria con gli occhi pieni di malinconia buongiorno Dio lo sai che ci sono anch'io Lasciatemi cantare con la chitarra in mano lasciatemi cantare una canzone piano piano lasciatemi cantare perché ne sono fiero sono un italiano un italiano vero Buongiorno Italia che non si spaventa e con la crema da barba alla menta con un vestito gessato sul blu e la moviola la domenica in tivù Buongiorno Italia col caffè ristretto le calze nuove nel primo cassetto con la bandiera in tintoria e una 600 giù di carrozzeria Buongiorno Italia buongiorno Maria con gli occhi pieni di malinconia buongiorno Dio lo sai che ci sono anch'io Lasciatemi cantare con la chitarra in mano lasciatemi cantare una canzone piano piano lasciatemi cantare perché ne sono fiero sono un italiano un italiano vero. Lasciatemi cantare con la chitarra in mano sono un italiano un italiano vero. Good day Italy, the spaghetti al dente and a partisan as president with the car radio always in the right hand and a canary above the window Good day Italy with your artists with too much America on the posters with songs with love with heart with more women, ever fewer nuns Good day Italy Good day Maria with eyes full of melancholy Good day God you know that I am here too Let me sing with the guitar in hand let me sing a song softly let me sing because I'm proud I'm an Italian A true Italian Good day Italy that's never afraid and with the mint shaving cream with a pinstriped suit on blue shirt and the moviola on Sundays in TV Good day Italy with the caffe ristretto the new socks in the first drawer with the flag in the dry cleaners and a 600 bodywork down Good day Italy Good day Maria with eyes full of melancholy Good day God you know that I am here too Let me sing with the guitar in hand let me sing a song softly let me sing because I'm proud I'm an Italian An Italian true Let me sing with the guitar in hand I am an Italian An Italian for real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[re...] Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Pasta e fagioli (pronounced [ˈpasta e ffaˈdʒɔːli]), meaning "pasta and beans", is a traditional Italian soup. Like many other Italian favorites, including pizza and polenta, it started as a peasant dish, being composed of inexpensive ingredients. It is often called pasta fasul (fazool) in the United States, derived from its Neapolitan name, pasta e fasule. Recipes for pasta e fagioli vary, the only true requirement being that beans and pasta are included. While dish varies from region to region it is most commonly made using cannellini beans, Great Northern beans or borlotti beans and a small variety of pasta such as elbow macaroni or ditalini. The base typically includes olive oil, garlic, minced onion, celery, carrots and often stewed tomatoes or tomato paste. Some variations omit tomatoes and instead use a broth base. Preparation may be vegetarian, or contain meat (often bacon or pancetta) or a meat-based stock. The recipe varies greatly based on the region or town in which it is prepared, depending on available ingredients. The consistency of the dish can vary, with some being soupy, while others are much thicker. For instance, in Bari the dish is thicker in consistency and uses mixed pasta shapes. It also uses pancetta in the base of the sauce. Other varieties call for the beans to be passed through a food mill, giving it a stew-like consistency. The word for "beans" varies in different Italian languages, e.g. fagioli [faˈdʒɔːli] in standard Italian, fasule [faˈsuːlə] in Neapolitan, and fasola [faˈsɔːla] in Sicilian. "Pastafazoola", a 1927 novelty song by Van and Schenck, capitalizes on the Neapolitan pronunciation in the rhyme, "Don't be a fool, eat pasta fazool"; and the song "That's Amore", by Warren and Brooks (popularized by Dean Martin), includes the rhyme "When the stars make you drool, just like pasta fazool, that's amore".

[Ja...] Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 If you’re talking about NYC there ain’t no Italians in Little Italy either. That neighborhood has been Chinese for like 3 decades now. I was there last night with my wife and her family for dinner. There were about 40 of us there, mostly Italian. I was joking that aside from the wait staff the entire Italian population of Little Italy was right there in that room. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 So on other threads some can remember fearing their father’s belt. I guess this is the thread where we can all remember the wrath of an Italian mother’s wooden spoon! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
