The grocery store's weekly sales flyer reminded me: never get steak in Italy.
Paradoxically, the store was promoting "Italian style" grilled steaks, claiming that Italians don't live on pasta and pizza alone; they drizzle their steaks with olive oil, pop 'em on the grill briefly, then sprinkle a bit of lemon juice.... No they don't. They do not eat steak. Period. They don't even raise beef cattle. So there. And unless you are in a restaurant in the heart of a major city, a restaurant that specifically caters to American tourists, and you order a "bistecca," you will get a dark rubbery sheet that seems more like moose than moo-cow.
Take my advice. Stick to the pasta and pizza.
