and any interest of ever visiting Italy is now gone. I have way too picky eating from my high functioning autism hypersensitivity and severe OCD and always have to drink Soda with any meal no exceptions. Like I can not eat a meal if there is no soda (and has to be caffeinated) A lot of this has to do with I hate teas and allergic to coffee but have a really bad caffeine dependency! But also cause as I am high functioning I have to have my routines especially around eating. I love Italian foods (even if its likely gonna be the death of me as a diabetic lol) But I could never be capable of following all these strict rules around food. Some wouldn’t phase me since I don’t often eat breakfast anyway but I couldn’t eat a typical Italian breakfast cause too much sugars as a diabetic I have to avoid these. I mean pasta’s is okay even pizza but baked breakfast goods never okay for a diabetic. one other thing would definitely become an issue is their negative issues with us ordering a meal without certain ingredients as I have severe texture sensitivity to many things (what avg. person gets distaste for now imagine that stimulation being 10x worse that’s what i get) Its too bad I will just have to ensure i only visit American style friendly places when I go cause of my food limits and needs being unable to fit their ignorant closed minded expectations if I visit for the art and architecture..

Loved the food in Italy, in all the small villages; Mama was cooking everything fresh in the restaurant kitchen. I even took photos of our food, so-so delicious! Our breakfast cappuccino was perfect at the palace on the hill where we stayed. Our tour guide from the palace was great, she took us to where the olives are sorted, to an opera held in her friends home along with a delicious Italian dinner; and so much more. A very unique and special trip of a life time.

I can second one of these. I went to an Italian pizza place in Paris in the company of an Italian friend. Being Serbian, my language sounds like Italian phonetically (it has the same sort of vowels and consonants even though the words are completely different) and my French accent sounds like I could be Italian. However, after a pizza dinner I ordered a cappuccino. My Italian friend was embarrassed, and told the waiter “She’s not Italian!” with a smile as an excuse for me. Then when the waiter left he told me “no cappuccino after noon”.

These are good rules. It is best not to do in other countries what you do at home. People should read this before you travel.
