ITALIANS always appreciate how Brits love their culture and cuisine, but there are some mistakes that drive them insane.<\/p>\n
From ordering the wrong drink to adding unnecessary ingredients to traditional recipes, we rounded up the three biggest mistakes Brits make. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It's pretty safe to say that we all enjoy a cappuccino every once in a while, but Italians are pretty strict when it comes to their national coffee drink. <\/p>\n
Cappuccino is considered the breakfast drink of choice, usually with a sweet pastry like a croissant – which is also known as a "cornetto", as it is actually different from French croissants. <\/p>\n
If you don't fancy a straight-up shot of espresso after having breakfast, a macchiato is considered an appropriate afternoon drink.<\/p>\n
We already knew this one was coming, but there are certain pizza topping requests that might get you laughed at by your waiter. <\/p>\n
Pineapple on pizza is simply not acceptable in Italy, so save yourself the trouble of trying to order one. <\/p>\n If you fancy something similar, you might want to try "pizza e fichi" (pizza and figs), which also combines salty and sweet flavours. <\/p>\n In fact, "pizza e fichi" is considered a hallmark of our culinary heritage that was loved by ancient Romans. <\/p>\n Another big mistake you could make when ordering a pizza is asking for ketchup – the tomato base sauce is enough. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Carbonara is a beloved dish all around the world, and the original Roman recipe only calls for five simple ingredients – so don't ask if there's cream in it. <\/p>\n To make a carbonara worthy of its name (even at home), all you need is pasta – preferably spaghetti or rigatoni – pecorino cheese, eggs, black pepper and guanciale. <\/p>\n Guanciale is a cured meat product made from pork jowl or cheeks, which helps emulsify the sauce thanks to its fat.<\/p>\n To achieve the creaminess of Carbonara, all you have to do is follow the recipe – which does not call for cream whatsoever. <\/p>\n All you have to do is grate the Pecorino Romano cheese and place it in a bowl, add the well-separated egg yolks, season with freshly ground pepper and start mixing with a whisk. <\/p>\n Then, pour a ladle of pasta cooking water. Also, add a ladle of the rendered fat from the cooked guanciale.<\/p>\n Continue stirring until you achieve a creamy paste. To check if it's ready, you can dip a spatula and ensure the cream doesn't drip. <\/p>\n Once you drain the pasta al dente, transfer it to the pot and remove it from the heat. <\/p>\n Now, continuously mix the sauce and the pasta with cooking water as needed; finally, add all the guanciale.<\/p>\n We also revealed how to have a day out in Italy for just \u00a352, including flights, wine, pizza and souvenirs.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a holidaymaker flew to Lanzarote for the day\u00a0and said she paid just \u00a323.<\/p>\n And another woman revealed how she gets\u00a0\u00a310 return flights to go on holiday for the day\u00a0around Europe.<\/p>\n<\/picture>GET STUCKY IN <\/span><\/p>\n
