Just like Nonna’s.

Just like Nonna’s.
Picture this…
You are sitting around a table with loved ones, waiting to eat.
There’s lots of excited chatter and loud laughter.
If it’s an Italian family, everyone is talking over each other and the noise becomes deafening.
Finally, here’s Nonna with multiple dishes of food that she’s lovingly prepared (after hours in the kitchen) and she just wants everyone fed before the food gets cold.
Piercing the chatter, her voice:
“ZITTO e MANGIA!”
shut up and eat!
You do as you’re told.
(And you stay there, eating, until you feel like you could never possibly be hungry ever again).
