Is aperitivo an Italian thing only? I couldn't live without it, especially in the summer. I like light aperitivi though, no pasta or rice. It's a big thing in Italy, not to mention is a way to socialize and have a good chat with friends over a drink. The difference between here and the UK is that we eat finger food and drink something while they mainly drink beer without eating. I couldn't do it as I'd get drunk right away.
It is also true that more than one aperitivo per week means gaining weight very quickly. That's what happens to me at least but I don't really care. It's one of those Italian habits I couldn't give up!
Yes, I think it is an Italian thing. I love it too.
ReplyDeleteSurely more than 1 aperitivo per week only means gaining weight if you then have a meal afterwards? I mean, sometimes I may have a pizza after but normally nothing - the apero food is quite enough!
That's what I do either. I don't eat afterwards.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you don't eat afterwards, you shouldn't really be putting on any weight!!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course, you go to the buffet many, many times :-D
;)
