When the music stops the euros in German banks get converted into Deutsche marks and the ones in Italian banks get converted into shite.

That's Greek Euros. The rest of us in the (Euro) Zone spells it the same way.

Italian Euros have DaVinci drawing on it and i'm sorry i can´t remember at the moment what but German Euros have a different design on them.

Nonsense, there's clearly no Italian in "German euros". There's not even an I.

Thankfully ( for now ) 1 euro still buys you an espresso in Italy, used to be what would be now 1/2 eur for an espresso when it was still Lire.

Exactly. Half a coffee. And don't even get me started on their bloody awful pasta sauce

"What 'ya talking abou' Willis ?"

One espresso IS "one coffee" .. normally the price of capuccino, latte or macchiato used to be the same or lightly more than 1 eur.

If by "coffee" you mean stuff like "a full tea mug size" that's NOT "coffee" in Italy, that's crap !!

How can you say "pasta sauce" when there are probably 1001 different pasta sauces/condiments in Italy ?

I suppose you live in a "too much touristy location / trap" where they cook "semi crap for foreing tourists" and "over inflated prices" ??

Rules of the "tourist pasta sauces" : 1. if it contains melted cheese, it's probably crap .. 2. if it contains bechamel sauces .. it's even more crap, 3. if it's in a reasonably filled with non-italian tourists location and contains 'ragu', it's surely crap basically there's "real italian food" and "tourists location/resort food" ... those are two completely different things one of which highly driven by 'extreme profit margins'.

Oh Giles, your to easy.

Next: Why are Italian pizzas so stingy on both cheese and thickness?

"What 'ya talking abou' Willis ?"

Just jerking your chain. As has been said, you're (not your) too (not to) easy.

It has to be said, my experience with Italian coffee prices are based on the price of ristrettos and espressos in Valle d'Aosta (not, generally, in the most touristy spots, though), which seem to average around 1.50. Less than the resort bars where I'm based, and far better coffee, the french tend to overcook the grains so the coffee here is horribly bitter and requires sugar. At nearly 2.00 for a cup of crap, you're better off with Nescafe. In the local bars, same shit coffee but 1.30-1.40. The only really touristy coffee I've had in Italy was in Venice. Awful, and 2.50 for an espresso in a town that smells of shit.

OTOH, the Italians have La Capanna Regina Margherita, which serves the best hot chocolate in Europe.

Aw Tufty, I was hoping to get another bite from Giles with those two

Leave it for 5 minutes and then go in with a quick Dolmio, that usually works. Or maybe ask him about OpenGL on Win10 :)

I do (honestly) like pizza with pineapple. Don’t understand what the problem is with it? I note that in actual Italian pizza awards - one year the winner was a fruit pizza. Seriously, no wind up. I haven’t been able to find it again, but it was officially pizza of the year *in Italy*. Will try and find later..
