"(...) three 20-year-olds bought some pasta and took it back to their apartment in Florence, with high hopes for an authentic Italian dinner. But instead of boiling several quarts of water before adding the pasta—you know, step one on every set of back-of-the-box instructions ever—they emptied the dry noodles directly into the pot."

@Antanicus Oh my goodness. Everyday there are new reasons to feel embarrassed for my country...

@cstanhope @Antanicus "Florentine chef Fabio Picchi" was so amazingly gracious in his response. So humane.

(He offered them lunch and 4 hours of cooking classes.)

@gcupc @cstanhope a true gentleman, Making fun of people is easy, helping them (for free) is not.

@Antanicus @gcupc He is certainly an example I will strive to emulate.

@Antanicus I was cooking pasta when I was 12. Did these people not have parents?
