The Origin and Importance of Italian Aperitivo Drinks
Originating in Italy, the tradition of aperitivo dates back to ancient times when the Romans would consume light alcoholic beverages mixed with herbs to stimulate their appetites. Over the centuries, this practice evolved into a sophisticated social custom, where friends and family gather to enjoy a drink and light snacks before dinner. The word "aperitivo" comes from the Latin "aperire," meaning "to open," symbolizing the opening of the palate and the beginning of an enjoyable meal. This custom not only celebrates the art of relaxation and socializing but also sets the stage for the main dining experience.

Pompeii Pea Soup
I have stood inside ancient stone circles in the historic heartlands of British countryside, visited historical sites of some of the oldest civilisations of the western world, climbed up through the clouds in remote places like the Andes to reach the echelons of mystical civility, supped on tea served with arcane ceremony while sat inside some of Japan's oldest pagodas, sat in caves where cannibals once hoarded the bones of their victims, and read many, many stories writ by the hand of those who lived millennia before I, but it is only in Pompeii that I have felt genuinely connected to the lives of the ancients.

FOOD FOR THE FOURTH: PITS. PORK. PRIDE.
JUST LIKE IT DOES WITH JUNETEENTH - THE FEDERAL holiday marking the end of slavery in the United States - barbeque and the Fourth of July go hand in hand in the Black community. And so it was for me growing up in the 1960s in Marshall, Texas.
