Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

Agreed. I'd say "Could I have some cheese, please?" (assuming they didn't bring it automatically).

Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

We call a sugar bowl a sugar bowl because it is a bowl - that's its shape, For cheese I'd say "cheese board", or maybe "cheese platter" if I wanted to sound rustic and traditional.

Re: Ministry of Culture

Re: RAI 1, No comment

I've been in Italy for about 45 years and I've seen RAI go downhill too. It's the same story in both countries - governments want total control of the media so they reduce the quality of the...

Re: A culinary question - this for carnivores.

Goes very well with rocket and mozzarella.
