You know you're italian when... 

• You wonder why abroad there are many so-called Italian things you never saw in your entire life.
• You have tried at least once to explain to anyone the difference between raw ham and cooked ham, without succeeding
• A meal without bread is not a meal
• You never have Cappuccino after 11.00 (a.m. need to be specified!)
• You call it Ragu', not Bolognaise!!
• You have tried at least once to explain to anyone the difference between sausage and wurstel, failing.
• You eat a sweet and small breakfast
• You download lots of music and films from internet, and think it is morally permitted
• You love Nutella...anytime...
• When someone else is making pasta you either a) ask them if they remembered to put salt in the water, b) ask them why they put oil in the water or c) kick them off the stoves and take over because they obviously don't know what they're doing
• When they ask you if you want "Italian dressing" in the salad, you always answer "no, thanks" and you won't ask for a salad with oil, salt and vinegar or lemon because you believe it would be too difficult to explain and you go for a plain one
• You know French, Spanish and US wines just don't compare to a Chianti Classico.
• You miss home even if you hate it
• You hate cold pizza
• You hate pizza with Pineapple
• You hate pizza with all that makes pizza something else
• You call the underground "Metro"
