I remember an incident from the first time I visited Italy.

My cousin's mother forbade her to eat at a new Italian fast food establishment called Italy & Italy.

"Not real food," she insisted. "Disgrace to Italian cooking." On top of that, she did not want the American cousin to eat "bad" food while in Italy. How could I not agree? I had no problem with her insistence that she cook for me.
