There are a lot of things Italians love to debate about. Soccer, of course. Politics (quite the touchy subject, especially these days). Where to find the best deals for anything from groceries to light bulbs. 

The greatest debate of all, though, is undoubtedly about food. Sit at any lunch or dinner table across the Bel Paese with more than two people, and you’ll likely witness heated discussions concerning what we eat. These might include: face-offs on the best way of making almost any dish; polls on which restaurant has the best pizza in a certain neighbourhood; pontifications about why a specific recipe is better in one region than another; and lengthy disputes on who invented what where.
