Answer 9

The food I can't do without is fresh fruit - I have fruit at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often as a snack; and in summer when it's hot I can live on fruit only - apart from the occasional ice-cream ;)

Bread almost always, vegetables at least once a day but usually twice, cheese or fish very often. I'm not that keen on pasta (I actually prefer rice or cous cous - once or twice a week), but that is really uncommon for Italians. About once a week gelato or pizza as lunch.

I don't like meat very much.

Water or plain tea (but the last would be coffee for most Italians), sometimes wine (festive occasions), very little soft drinks.

It's worth nothing that Italy and Spain tend to favor orange (and other citrus fruit) soft drinks over cola; when I was a child it was common to add a slice of lemon in order to make cola "taste right".

Answer 10

the answer is...it depends on where they live...each region has its own distinct cuisine and resources for food

Answer 11

farina      "flour" to make pasta

Answer 12

there were protests recently when the price of pasta was raised (in italy). that would be my vote.

my 83 yr old landlord was about to disown me, when we'd all gone to dinner and i didn't eat a pasta course. and we had two pasta courses at my friend's wedding!

i think i will go make some pasta now...

Answer 13

pasta

tomatoes

cheese

wine

olives

Answer 14

I heard on FoodNetwork that Italians use a lot of nuts and dry fruit for their salads and cakes.

Another thing I think they have with all their meals is cheese.
