I'm American.
Nice to meet you.
I'll give you a gift, it's from Italy.
Italian Prosecco
I'm in Dallas
and I'll stop people on the street
to find out what they think
and what they know
about our beloved Italian products.
Hi, I 'm Glenn
I'm from the western part of Alaska
Where are you from?
I'm from Dallas
and I speak Italian!
I live in Dallas, but I am from Rome, Georgia
I am originally from New Mexico
I travel and make music
I am from Texas, from here!
why do you speak Italian?
My family emigrated from Sicily
I studied Italian,
I decided to go to Rome
to learn the language better
Have you ever been to Italy?
No!
Will you take me there?
Don't you speak Italian at home ?!
No, no one speaks Italian ...
... except me!
What do you think of Italian food?
I love it!
it's my all time favorite of all times
it's so easy to make
Can you name 3 Italian dishes?
Absolutely!
Please ... Don't say pasta!
Pasta ...
it's pretty general ...
Spaghetti!
Spaghetti
I'll say lasagna ...
Lasagna
Lasagna!
How do you like lasagna?
With lots of cheese!
Do you know what's inside the lasagna?
Yup!
Ricotta ...
Are you sure?
Obviously, tomato sauce,
and then, typically, some kind of meat
Ham!
Cacio e pepe
This is good! Cheese and black pepper!
In Sicily, we have arancine
with "e" eh!
it is female, of course!
(My) family is from a small village
near Palermo
So, we say "arancina"
Pollo ...
"Florentine"
"Ragoli"
What is it ???
Alfredo with chicken and broccoli?
how disgusting!
Do you think Italian food in Texas is authentic?
We have some restaurants that ...
... are good
at this,
but in general
I don't trust them!
To have good, authentic Italian food,
better make it at home!
What Italian products will they recommend to me in the supermarket?
What is a good Italian cheese?
Pecorino ... we have taleggio
cheese,
it's delicious!
Quadrello di bufala ... ok ...
This is delicious!
Italians are very proud
of "Made in Italy" products.
What is the perception
that you have here in America
of these products,
and of "Made in Italy"?
What do Americans really think about Italian products?
We are not familiar with
the "Made in Italy" movement, but ...
a product that was made in Italy means quality for us
Can you distinguish a Neapolitan pizza
from other styles of pizza?
I think the Neapolitan style is generally:
wood oven,
fresh ingredients,
not too much seasoning,
but just the right amount!
Do people in America
appreciate Italian products ?!
Not only do we appreciate them,
but we are also willing
to pay more
for an Italian product ...
Are you planning to visit Rome and Naples?
We would love to,
my wife and I
have talked about this trip ...
My wife, actually, is right there she
is teasing
me My little sister
speaks Italian
Let's call her, now!
Yes, absolutely
Why not ?!
...Nice to meet you, how are you?
I heard that Italy is beautiful,
that the wine is good there. Did
you grow up knowing that you were
an Italian-American?
Yup!
100%
We keep little things of culture,
Sundays,
for us it
is important to eat all together
Every Sunday, at my parents' house,
to eat pasta ...
We, here in Texas, are different
from other people
in this sense
. I ate lasagna ...
All my friends
bread with peanut butter and jam
What did other Americans think of your way of being Italian?
I don't know if they really understand
our traditions, but
we're pretty proud
of who we are ...

La Briscola,
Scopa,
Ah, great! Do you play Briscola?
