I must admit that I wasn't a pizza lover when I was a teenager. Maybe it was because I was eating the wrong pizza, or perhaps it was just that it became so precious to me during my university years.
The same goes for coffee: I didn't drink it and then started when I was around 30. I'm still not an avid coffee drinker today, but I do appreciate it.
Time can change tastes and habits.
@stefano I love coffee and all the different roasts and varietals. My hometown has a number of excellent small roasters that give me a wonderful variety.
Alas as I've gotten older I've had to cut back on my coffee consumption and have replaced my daily cup with tea. Coffee is now more of a weekend treat at the cafe.
@stefano > mfw coffee and pizza fueled my studies at the Politecnico of Milan…
😅
@paride5745 Coffee and Pizza are the Uni's students' best friends
@stefano Did you start using BSDs before coffee? 😉
@stefano oh lucky you. I used to have french breakfasts and lunches a la Serge Gainsbourg, since teens. Turning 30 brought some sort of a gastritis - so nowadays I am an avid temperate and dieting workout queen. Lord, I miss all those liters of coffee.
@stefano Coffee since the age of 5. 😎☕️
But my biggest „discovery“ in terms of food over the last years was near Ravenna at a restaurant at Punta Marina. I never liked fennel, not even in a cacciatore. Then I tasted insalata di finocchi con arance e burrata 🤗 Now I‘m an avid fan of fennel. 😎
@stefano I started liking Pizza because of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As a kid, if they liked it, it must be good.
@meisterdieb that's a very good reason to like pizza!
@stefano i drink my coffee black (no cream, no sugar), and the reason why is one of my favorite stories.
in high school, i worked at a retirement home operated by the Catholic Church on behalf of the nuns who belong to the Franciscan order. Franciscan nuns are famous for refusing to cloister, instead, choosing to honor their Vow of Service by doing real world jobs that suck and are needed, for little or no pay.
And one of those nurses called me a wuss for putting sugar in coffee...
@stefano ... I replied to the nun, "you don't drink coffee with sugar or cream?" and she looked at me with this incredulous eyebrow raise and withering doubting glare.
she said that she worked 16 hour shifts as a nurse for 40 years, and drank coffee black before it could even cool. she was 102 years old and STILL drinking it that way.
so, at 15 years old, i figured that if SHE could enjoy black coffee, then i could too. :-p
@stefano okay… I started with coffee at 5 bit still don’t eat pizza due to the cheese.
