Spaghetti carbonara, something I picked up from one of Marcella Hazan's cookbooks, was a mainstay of our meals for a good long time when the kids were young!
I love this! I can relate through being married to a pizza lover also and having pizza as my own favorite food group. I also love the question you posed. I work in food systems ecology and YES! Food traditions are not only great but so very important to cultural bonding and cultural sharing and knowledge passing from generation to generation. Like your husband did! Learning the rituals of how to eat something is as important as the food. I think this every time I use chop sticks inadequately, even though I had a Japanese exchange student for a full year and tried hard to have him teach me, or go out for Ethiopian food. I forwarded your email to my husband. I feel certain he will smile very widely and it will be a gift this one day post Father’s Day. Thank you so much!
THanks! My father taught me to make spaghettin carbonara because we lived in Italy for one year when I was 16, and it was a time he learned to cook. Eating traditions: I learned how to use chopsticks by living in NYC and eating sushi regularly!! So glad you enjoyed my post.
Does seem like the definitive example of mansplaing in its most benevolent form.

It's so delish. We make it also with veggie bacon now. Not as good, but since we are not meat eaters, it's still tasty!
