"Who doesn't like Italian food." That's the question my friend asked when he let me know that he had put a box in the mail that included the food and goodies that you see in the picture below (the food actually arrived as free coupons and I IMMEDIATELY went shopping).In all honesty, I had no quick comeback, because my two FAVORITE foods (if a person who loves eating can pare it down to only two) are Italian and sushi.
