i just remembered another story
i was in italy (i'm half italian, on my mother's side)
we went to visit one of my mum's cousin's
we arrived early, far to early.
i spent a lot of time walking around their vineyard.
anyway, by the time it came to eat, boy was i hungry.
it took ages for the food to get ready
eventually we were called to our seats
i was presented with a beautifully cooked
chicken/cockeral foot to eat as starters..!
i looked at my aunt and said 'i can't eat this'
she winked at me and said 'mange, mange'
(eat,eat),
i said i feel sick, to which she said 'they will feel insulted'
i looked at the foot, gulped, and started picking at it
i attempted to eat it, but after awhile they took it away
it was then that my aunt told me it was a joke (ha ha )
i was then given the proper part of the chicken to eat
which i thought it was deliciuous
but as i was clearing my plate i made a stab with my fork,
at the very last piece which skited clear off my plate,
clear onto my aunt's cousin's wife's plate!
i was very embarassed and apolologised to her.
my aunt laughed at me and said it wasn't a chicken
i had been eating, i looked at my empty plate
then looked at my aunt....'but i've already ate the other piece!!!!!'
