I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Italy - big cities as well as bucolic country towns - and I’d say Louisiana food is better.

Word. I swear our taxi driver in Naples was on two wheels the entire fare.

False because cities of this size will typically have a Texas Roadhouse. GOAT

No bottomless salad at Texas Roadhouse and as I recall it’s actually a pretty good salad.

Got 700.00 worth of traffic tickets in the mail when I got home from Italy. After I witnessed those crazy bastards driving, I tore up the tickets. Frick Italy.

Well, that's not true.
Italy is pretty fantastic, but Louisiana is really great in the food department ( and not much else).

I was told that scooters are allowed on the interstate now 
That being said, I've never seen a group of individuals block and busy intersection and do donuts while waving guns there.
I plan on living there as soon as I hit retirement.

Seems like the food thing is right.
Every where I go, even on this board. People say we have the best food.

This must be what AI is, and also how the war started.

Italy is a walking contradiction of a country. On one hand you wonder how many of them (Rome especially) survive a normal day without doing something stupid to kill themselves, and on the other hand it’s the same people who created some of the finest art, cars, clothing to have ever existed. Italians are a hot mess.

Louisiana food is good but what in the hell did eat in Italy? Did someone crap in your pizza?
The street food in Florence is very good. The pork in Umbria is outstanding. I didn’t find ponce but I had some terrific meals.
And the Italian wine is amazing.

Shampoo is not necessary. I haven't used shampoo in over 10 years

They generally do not love shampoo. I can't tell you how hard it was today to find a bottle of regular shampoo in Rome.
I also think that 80% of the waiters in the restaurants are Muslim. They are very friendly, but they probably all called in sick for Friday's jihad day (where, as I understand it, they were beaten with clubs by the Polizia... geaux Italy).
But the motor scooters.... OMG. Traffic laws mean nothing to these people. Just speeding street toughs on Vespas. Literally everywhere.
About 10 years ago there was study done that indicated about 85% of the emissions in Rome were due to scooters. They are AWFUL for the environment compared to cars and other modes of transportation. They love 'em though.
Romans are the best drives in the world and it ain't close. They will 6 abreast in a roundabout meant for 2 and no one ever scratches the paint! They can also park a car in the smallest imaginable space.
My son and I spent a month in a tent on a beach in Pisa one summer and every evening we went to what amounts to the boardwalk in Europe (yes, there is a redneck Riveria in Italy too). They had bumper cars there. Thats where they train Italians to drive. Those kids would be 15 bumper cars across in a space not big enough for 10, all going hell bent for leather and nary a scrape of bump. My son, being from the states, put a stop to that idiocy....the first time he drove against the flow of traffic the parents almost died...it got so ugly that had they been Americans we'd have been in a fist fight. Being Europeans all I had to do to back them off is talk loud and give them a dose of crazy eyes. Pretty soon the Italian kids realized that bumping into one another was far funner than not bumping into one another and a damned melee began. The kids thought my son was a genius...I did not have to buy tickets for the rids or an Italian ice the rest of the time we were there...the Italian kids his age had him covered! Even the parents came around somewhat...what choice did they have, they certainly weren't going to face that loud crazy eyed American twice in life....

Seriously...and this is going to be CONTROVERSIAL as hell...but Italian food in Italy and French food in France is hot garbage. It is lousy. Olive Garden would hold a footrace with the best restaurants in Italy. The atmosphere in Europe is generally better but the quality of food is not close. Admittedly I haven't eaten at a any Michelin 3 star restaurants but I have eaten at a bunch that were very popular with local middle class patrons and nary a one of them would best a waffle house.
