I mean, up until the '50s we didn't even speak the same language... every region had their own language (Italians called them "dialect", but they're in fact different langauges). Then television came and unified the language (standard Italian is just the dialect of Tuscany).
Italy is a very young country. Sure, the Ancient Romans unified the whole Europe, but Italy has only became a nation in 1861. Pretty young country if you ask me.
There are some dishes with it where its eaten cold, but it makes the cabbage usually more purple beyond it being mistaken for something else also due to the texture. Many Döner stores put it in the Döner dishes cold as well, tastes great.
XD thats some use of it in the Premium Dining here as well, but i think it tastes too good to just eat it in small quantities for the color, its healthy and tastes great when done right.
Marking for Slovenia is wrong. I do have statistical data from our statistical agency and it is not even close: 8.5l/person/year of vine and 26.5/person/year of beer (including non-alcohol).
Arguably, vine has higher alcohol content (~11.5%) compared to beer (~4.9%), but even even if we look at "alcohol consumed from wine/beer per person per year", we get 0,9775L from vine and 1,2985 from beer.
These findings are in agreement with my intuition based on me seeing what people drink.
As the numbers for beer from stat.si do not differentiate between alcohol free and usual beer, its bold to assume the weighted (by share of consumption) average beer contains 4.9 vol.% alcohol unless you know that it may be totally uncommon to drink non-alcoholic beer.
True. It is uncommon, I'd guess every 10th beer is non-alcoholic. But then there is also radler, with lower alcohol content, which would probably represent 3 out of every 10 beers.
What are those fried bits? They kinda look like small Gnocchi or something similar.
Should be "Knöpfli". Gnocchi are primarily made from potatoes or potato flour, sometimes combined with wheat flour and egg, Knöpfle/Knöpfli are more similar to the swabian Spätzle and common in Switzerland, it's made from eggs, flour and water or milk.
Huh, now that you mention it, almost the same for Greece except for diamonds being more like "checkered" and for swords-sticks being the other way around for some reason. Also always thought it was weird!
Tarot (/ˈtæroʊ/, first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi or tarocks) is a pack of playing cards, used from at least the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play card games such as Tarocchini. From their Italian roots, tarot-playing cards spread to most of Europe, evolving into a family of games that includes German Grosstarok and modern games such as French Tarot and Austrian Königrufen. In the late 18th century French occultists made elaborate, but unsubstantiated, claims about their history and meaning, leading to the emergence of custom decks for use in divination via tarot card reading and cartomancy. Thus, there are two distinct types of tarot packs in circulation: those used for card games and those used for divination. However, some older patterns, such as the Tarot de Marseille, originally intended for playing card games, are occasionally used for cartomancy.
The second one is rarer but you can see it on the "Tarot de Marseille"
It's a different set of cards, in this form there called "lames" (blades) or "arcanes" (arcana)
The set is divided in 4 colors also called family: "épée" (sword), "coupe" (cup, but think of it as the same type of cup as the saint grail), "bâton" (club) and "denier" (it's an old coin)
This compose the 52 "arcanes mineurs"
In addition there also 22 "arcanes majeurs" called "atouts"
And it is usually recognize because it's the base of the Tarot use for divination
But now it's generally used to play the eponymous game of "Tarot", a very good and very old game that me and my friend played a lot at uni
Yes but also not only, we have MANY more design of tarot card, especially when considering "atouts/arcanes majeurs" as here a deck of tarot is an object of play but also an object of collection
I pay about 8 euros for something similar, also in Denmark, but my employer covers it. It's not always great but it's way better than bringing anything myself.
