She said that she misses her passion for ice cream, pasta and chocolate, but now she can only buy meat sauce and frozen microwave food in the convenience store downstairs; she said that she has been I have been on and off with different men, abandoned and abandoned, and now I can only sneak up from my husband in the middle of the night, kneel on the floor in the dark and pray, asking God for guidance ...Simply, she put down her job, her husband, and the enviable life of others, and ran to Italy at the risk of being penniless and contracting dysentery.

There are indeed too many things in the world to let you down and discourage you, but in Italy, there is a partner who will never betray you - food. After settling in Rome, Liz, played by the big-mouthed beauty, decisively rejected the opposite sex, refused to have an affair, chose to sit in the square and eat ice cream, prepare a delicious lunch in the apartment, and enjoy the pleasure brought by all the food. There is a spaghetti-eating scene in the film: a couple in the distance are kissing each other, the close-up is a close-up of the golden and creamy spaghetti, with bright red tomato sauce wrapped around it, and basil on the surface like little stars, how beautiful Awesome! Liz instantly cast aside all cowardice and hesitation, and in the fierce and cheerful symphony soundtrack, gulps down a whole plate. In Italy, besides indulging in food, what better way to explore the heart and find yourself?


During the affair with the food, Liz gradually discovered that the local Roman residents despised the "happy people" who lived in the city like her. Perhaps urbanites are too restrained and utilitarian, too hard and too desperate, either living in the size of the measurements, or fluctuating their hearts against the numbers on the super-large display. Communication has turned into ridicule and chaos. In order not to make myself feel lonely, there are often singing and singing every night, and I can see it everywhere by borrowing wine to buy drunk. How many times in the middle of the night have turned back to be a guest, how many new and old loves have alternated, and unknowingly, I have forgotten myself. Compared to the relaxed Romans who only know how to enjoy food, we are really ashamed. In the end, Liz was in an open-air restaurant, looking at the plus-size jeans she just bought, and ordered a meal recklessly, attracting the amazement of countless diners present. She really does not mind others, she just enjoys delicious food, enjoyment and inner conversation. In fact, communication is so simple, even if a person meditates quietly in a room, or is exiled in a remote place, it is enough to hold up the whole sky. Do you know how to be a real Roman woman? Go to the open-air restaurant and order a meal! For example, tripe braised with romana, veal wrapped in sage, smoked spiced ham with cantaloupe, grilled eggplant with smoked country cheese, pasta with creamy bacon and sparkling wine from Azzano…
