    I have an Italian grandma and one time after school she made me and my sister lunch and I said: “I’m not hungry” and my grandma said back to me: “sweetie are you trying to put me in the grave?” I said no and ended up eating 3 plates of food.

      ti rispondo in italiano anche se so l'inglese, ma non sono un marchettaro-anglofono e quindi parlo orgogliosamente nella mia lingua, sperando che tu mi possa comprendere, se davvero sei italiana come fai intendere. Ti dico la verità: la parmigiana è uno dei miei piatti preferiti ed anche in Italia , in base a regione a regione ,ognuno applica delle cambiamenti-variazioni alla ricetta originale. Alcuni ad esempio mettono il prosciutto, altri le uova, c'è chi le melanzane le fa bollire al posto che friggerle. Ora ti dico la verità, non avevo mai sentito dire prime di 'sto video della ''chicken parmigiana'', però ti dirò, l'accostamento del pollo alla parmigiana non mi pare così blasfemo, anzi, mi invoglia quasi a provarla. Ripeto, rispetto ad altri stravolgimenti che fanno gli americani alle nostre ricette nazionali ( vedi pizza hawaiana con ananas) questa della parmigiana col pollo mi pare tutto sommato la meno blasfema.

      @edgarjx1 nope, sadly our history hasn't been so kind to Native Americans OR Black people, but we've always been a place where people from Europe (Italians, Spanish, French, etc) and from other Latin America countries immigrate to. Even though there are more natives in what we call "the interior" of the country (not the capital, more in the north), most of us have white ancestors. We're still latinos though

This is how we are americans ♥️🇺🇸. Many of us had to assimilate and love this country so we don't really care to speak Italian in our homes. We know pre industrial italian or bastardized versions. Our food has multi-regional elements from Sicily to Piemonte. You will see a family of half Lingurian, half abruzzese descent mixing food and passing it down. Carbs meet the demand for blue collar work today around 5. Sunday dinners usually start between 2 and 4 but that's usually the only day you really get to have family. Many of us are working class some of us are really successful. Many people hate us and think we are criminals. This is how we are♥️ 🇮🇹. we have much closer family's than most ethnicities we usually choose to live within close proximity to our grandparents and cousins and a similar ethicity sometimes follows in closeness to us, (French, greeks, Portuguese). Some of us have 3 generations in a house here in the north. Many of us trusts family before the authorities or the the church. Some of us believe in the evil eye stregheria, we believe in blending in and respecting the customs of where we are and to uphold them. We have made the choice in some areas to bring italian to schools with italian american populations to revive a sense of culture. This is how it was for my family and my journey in the self segregated north. We pray for Italy🇮🇹✝️🇮🇹 please be safe on lockdown🙏✝️. Dont get sick!
