Food experiences
Hai mangiato?
"Have you eaten?"How many times have we been asked this, and how many times have we asked it ourselves. To the little grandson returning from school or to the wife coming back late in the evening from a work meeting. To someone in difficulty or to the son coming home after having left by slamming the door. To a friend who comes to visit us with whom we want to share what is most ancient and hospitable: a meal on the table.
