As I prepare to depart for America, I pass along to you several pages from my Italian notebooks:
Like their masters, Italian dogs eat pasta. It looks like whole-wheat macaroni, and it is cooked and, preferably, dressed with a little oil and whatever scraps cling to the master’s cooking pan. I cooked myself some (to the horror of those around me), and it was certainly not ideal, but not nearly as unpleasant as American dog cereal, which I have also tasted. I am told dog rice exists too; I have not encountered this yet, but will look for it.
