- they're doing it wrong! -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 06:46 16
  - yes, the italians are all wrong. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 06:58 15

    - hey, we haven't heard from any actual Italians. In fact, Italians do not eat bread before dinner, IIRC. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 07:00 13
      - well, last time I was in italy (which was almost 10 years ago now) I had focaccia with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. - mafic Nov 17, 07:11 2

        ps when I say "for sure" I mean, I am sure someone does somewhere, but it is not the normal thing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 07:10 5
        
        so, what are you arguing? that there is no vinegar? that there is no bread? that restaurants do or don't do it? -- nm - El Fandie Nov 17, 07:12 4
        
        there are no restaurants. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 07:17
