      You can kind of tell that the Italian army isn't the most focused on what they're doing. I mean alcohol in a ration pack, lots of clanky metal cans, toothbrushes... Luxury items, but you don't really have time for any of that in actual combat situations. But I guess it's understandable given their track record in recent conflicts.

    Italians tend to drink their coffee very sweet. The reason I think that the instant cappuccino was unsweetened is because the cordial (which was most likely Frangelico [Hazelnut liqueur] or Amaretto [almond liqueur]) is meant to be put into the coffee as its sweetener. Both of them are delicious in coffee (and on vanilla ice cream also).

      When I was in Rome in a regular cheap tourist's bed-and-breakfast, it was amazing to find the evening meal was not all combined in a single dish but they had seperate courses. Courses.
      Some pasta.
      Some meat.
      A bit of fruit.
      And some other bits.
      All in all, a rather pleasant and relaxing experience.
