A little taste of home

So I've been here for 3 weeks and time is flying by...it's crazy to think that our time in Rome is 1/5th over.  During the week DDV warned us that this is the time most people get home sick and that we should all hang out together and do things that remind us of home, so what's better then stuffing our faces with American food!  Don't get me wrong the food is AMAZING here.  Nunzia's and Nicky's cooking is really really great...but some of us needed a break from the ridiculous amounts of pasta we eat on a daily basis and get a little taste of home.



So myself along with 8 others went to the HARD ROCK CAFE!  There aren't many american places here, (besides McDonalds and Burger King) so when we heard there was a hard rock we were so ready to go.  We all met up at our Italian school in Piazza di Spagna and walked over together.  After anxiously waiting for half an hour, our buzzer finally went off and they were ready to seat us.  Everyone ordered burgers, except I got a salad and fries.  Within like 10 minutes, we all devoured our food.  It was fantastic to have some american food and is something we want to do a few times when were here and when we miss home.

I'm sure you will all read this and think we are so crazy for getting American food while in Italy :)

    Once you are out of America, you do appreciate American food more. Even though a cheeseburger and fries sounds disguisting when you are back in the USA, they are amazing in ITALY! Love the food picture, what else has been your favorite Americanized food in Italy? After a month in Rome, what other foods do you miss? Also do you like Italian style of cooking over American? Just curious.

    You are correct. I did read that and think you are crazy for getting American food in Italy. But I can't criticize you for wanting a taste of home.

    I agree with Katherine, when you are not in America you most definetly appreciate greasy french fries and anything American alot more! However I must say I am incredibly jelous of what I can imagine you are eating in Italy. Be happy you don't have solely spanish cuisine to choose from .It stinks!
