Hello everybody!
Long time lurker here - trying to set up decent equipment to revive the old glorious Amiga days.
I currently live in Italy but my wife is constantly trying to get me move to Scotland, only because she was born there!
Who knows... One of these days, maybe :lol:

Cheers!
 
Hello mate!
I live in Italy too and my wife is Canadian... fortunately (for me) we already tried to live in her Country (we lived there for 2 years, actually, in Vancouver and Toronto) but we decided to go back to Italy because... the food is much better here!!! :lol:

Yes, food in Italy is great. Do you know 'orecchiette con le cime di rape', 'focaccia barese', 'patate, riso e cozze' (it's barensis version of Paella) ?

Possible solution: Take a holiday to Scotland: Edinburgh, Glasgow or wherever your wife grew up. Eat some shortbread, haggis and drink some whisky. See all the great things that the scottish have.

The clever bit is trying to imagine how you would feel about Scotland if you lived there. How long is your wife's excitement for Scotland going to last? Why did she move in the first place? Remember Italy, and pit the two countries against each other. It will be like playing Streetfighter 2, only instead of a control pad, you can use a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen.

One important thing to bear in mind is that if you do end up choosing to stay in Italy, depending on how good your wife is at punching/slapping, it might not be a good idea to tell her how terrible you think her country is.

Well, at least not all in one go. The scottish aren't known for their good sense of humour when it comes to anything that could be construed as anti-scotland, and they throw huge great wooden pylons for recreation.

Watch out!

(I'm joking)

orecchiette con le cime di rape

What does rape mean?

I think is turnip greens in english.

Yes mate :)
But is plural of 'rapa' like your 'pens' ;)

Do you imagine only one 'rapa' in a good plate of orecchiette ? ;)


Regards,

@Rino
I love the orecchiette! :)

But, everywhere in Italy there are amazing recipes! Of course, you can find excellent food in any country but when you grow up eating a kind of food I think that is normal that you like it better...

Anyway... probably we are going OT... :picard
It is known... do not talk about food with Italians! :D
 
Thanks everybody for the warm welcome!

The food is indeed better here ... Except for the fact that I cannot find proper Cheddar cheese!! :blink:

LOL! Sounds like a plan! Lucky me I prefer Scotland over Italy ... If only I could find a decent job there! :blased:
Enough with the OT, on with the retrogaming!

Thanks again all!
