THANKSGIVING IN FLORENCE! WOOHOO!What an opportunity to share some American culture with Italians for a change! I have a love-hate relationship with the way that Italians do many things. But at the end of the day, I tend to settle with the idea that "Italians do it better." However, there is one thing that they just can't compete with - no matter how good the gnocchi is, or how fresh the cinghiale ragu is, they just can't touch grandma's Thanksgiving dressing.
The good news is that most Italians I've met LOVE Thanksgiving. They wait for their invitation to an American dinner much like Charlie Brown awaiting the Great Pumpkin. And as much as I would like to make all of their Thanksgiving dreams come true, I would much rather keep Thanksgiving dinner an elite event and hand-select the few Italians I want to invite. (It's purely a control thing.)
If you're going to be in Florence during Thanksgiving, let us know and we can help you find a great apartment and even introduce you to some Italians who would love to be YOUR guest for dinner.
