UNA BUONA FORCHETTA

I confess I couldn't think what to write about today and I couldn't take any new pictures as my digcam battery is kaput; of course, the shop does not have the right type in stock and I have to wait for them to order me a new one. Then something Lizzie said in a comment on the previous post reminded me of an Italian idiom I like: if you appreciate your food here, you are said to be una buona forchetta = "a good fork". It occurs to me that you might have to be quite careful how you say that in English after a g and t or two!

I have no idea what you mean, Welsh! ;)

I'd put my foot in it, for sure!

Just found your Blog today. How exciting to read your posts in English! I have been searching for information on Sicily before my first visit next Spring but most are in Sicilian. I'm still on level one using Rosetta Stone, ha ha! I will return often. I love your photos.

A g and t or two, will loosen the tongue. You made me laugh.

Yes indeed. You may upset your hosts! That reminds me of Germany. When I go and visit friends there I pass the sign for Wankum and pass along a street called Grabenacker.
