Here's a great scene from another favourite film of mine - Big Night [1996]. I can't tell you how many times, in Italy but especially in Sicily, I've felt exactly like the people at this table! You are replete and content; in fact, you could really do with a sleep, when suddenly a pièce de résistance dish arrives! You think you are dreaming - "Surely there can't be any more!" - but the aroma wakes you up and you find room. [I've also felt the way the cooks do!]

"They" say Italian cooking is so effortlessly far superior to the French... and I for one believe them!!
Ciao, Gleds. So do I!
The Sicilian table is a fine thing and there are always surprises.
Great film!
I loved it!
Indeed a great film. Always room for more is why I am too rotund for my own good.
Ha ha, surely there can be some more? ... !
We actually agree, James! Lost and Betty - glad you like it, too. I'm sure you're not, jmb! Ciao, Sean. Of course...
Have you seen ,"Like Water for Chocolate" Another great "foodie" film. You will need your tissues.
