So, Molly, when do you plan to explain why you pretend to cry when I say I love my 2 grandchildren?

We weren't talking about Italian dinners, so that experience isn't relevant, the subject was traditonal course style meals and more specifically traditional Italian. I wasn't trying to impress you, I answered your question about my experience in traditional Italian dinners. If you didn't want me to answer the question, why bother asking?

 Of course they didn't have fruit on the same plate as the meat, in a traditional course meal, only the meat is on the plate.  You serve one course at a time, clear and then serve the next course.  I have said that before so it is unclear as to why you are asking such a silly question about something being on the same plate as the meat, unless you still don't understand how a formal course meal is served?

Also, I think they had breakfast on Thursdays in the elementary school once a month and some type of chicken on another day. Kids love that and pizza has always been a Friday thing at homes because it is the end of the week and everyone is tired and doesn't feel like cooking. Kind of like Fridays in lent. It is just a tradition for people to go and get a pizza.</strong></p>

Yes, and like I said, there's nothing wrong with that.  But it would bore me and wouldn't work for my family.

Once again, I ask, is it okay for me to have fruit with dinner if I serve it on a diffferent plate after we eat the meat?

So you have no experience in one here in America is what you are telling me, right?

 Of course they didn't have fruit on the same plate as the meat, in a traditional course meal, only the meat is on the plate.  You serve one course at a time, clear and then serve the next course.  I have said that before so it is unclear as to why you are asking such a silly question about something being on the same plate as the meat, unless you still don't understand how a formal course meal is served? 

Really? I would have never guessed that going to Italian Sunday dinner for years. No fruit on the main plate? Hmmm...interesting. lol

The fruit is NOT for dinner in the meals I am speaking of. Why are you still so adamant of me saying it is ok to have it on the same plate like you do? Wow.

Yep and most Italian dinners with family on Sunday is not as stuffy as she just explained it. You have courses but it is so casual. It is not like you are in a restaurant. You crack your own nuts (bawahha), cut your own fruit. No one really waiting on you hand and foot in that aspect.
