Valerie Mc Phail wiki has a page on vegetarianism by country which gives the number I mentioned however other studies say 6% so I'd say between 6%-13% of the US population is vegetarian or vegan.
Valerie Mc Phail America is ranked as one of the hardest working countries in terms of average hours worked which plays a huge role in why people purchase fast food as well as the fact that it's cheaper than healthy food. Also despite this we still have one of the highest life averages in the world.
Why??? Spaghetti is vegan, pasta with pesto is vegan, pisarei is vegan, ravioli with spinach is vegan, risotto is vegan, gnocchi is vegan, minestrone is vegan, polenta with mushrooms is vegan, caponata is vegan, salad of vegetables and tomatoes is vegan, pizza is vegan, focaccia is vegan, chickpea flour (farinata di ceci) is vegan, chickpea or and eggplant meatballs is vegan, etc. In Italy there are *hundreds* of vegan recipes, the Italian territory has been at war for over 2,000 years, people have never been so rich that they can eat meat every day so Italians have always eat little meat. Meat and sausages were reserved for special occasions, most of the year we ate bread, pasta and seasonal vegetables. And Italy is also a paradise for celiacs, practically everyone knows what is celiac disease and gluten so every restaurant can give you suitable foods without problems and every supermarket sells food suitable for coeliacs. Celiacs are also entitled to the free supply of gluten-free foods. Italy is obsessed with food, so it has food for everyone: omnivorous, vegan and celiac.
His mom maybe (huge maybe) doesn't hate her, but if he still has a grandma she sure hates her. There is no way an italian grandma would tolerate someone not eating at least three courses.
He's from a noble family. From my experience posh Italian countesses with houses in Cortina aren't like your typical nonnas :) that's why I find it hard to believe that what she said in this interview isn't exaggerated
What you're saying is incorrect. We don't eat like that in Italy. Get over stereotypes. Don't believe these people saying "mamma mia" with a fake Sicilian accent because they think it's cool.
Well I'm from northern Italy and I should shut down some generalizations that came up with this video: - we like food but we have long and late meals only a few times, especially during the holidays (new year's eve and Xmas day are like Thanksgiving in the Us) - we do say "Mamma mia" a lot - we don't all make wild assumptions on a person just because we saw a 5 minutes video of her, like many people did in this comment section
I'm not Italian in the slightest, so can't comment about you're traditions. I was looking for your comment b/c, all the people bashing her about how long meals are; do they realize that she probably only ever sees her in-laws on holidays? Therefore, her main expirences with them would justify her response.
hmm Idk about the wild assumptions on people, maybe you're just a nice person because I spent a month in Milan on a college trip and every Italian guy thought we were easy by what they said/how forward they were to us. Lol since that is the American perception of women sadly...however, this was in 2012 maybe things have changed since then...idk...
Sono stra-d'accordo... Mamma mia! 😂😂😂😂 Si vede che lei non è mai venuta a casa mia quando si fa cena e abbiamo tutti fame... neanche mezz'ora compresi apparecchia/sparecchia tavola, prepara cena, mangia, passa aspirapolvere e lava i piatti.. 😂😂
Kirsten Noe Sorry to hear that, you just happened to meet stupid people who lived there. And stupid people always existed and everywhere. Everyone is entitled (right or wrong) to have their opinions, but in Italy there aren't general assumptions about Americans, I honestly kinda noticed the opposite.. 😊
Venice is in the north-east of Italy. italians who live in the north usually start dinner at 7-7:30pm. If you go to central or south Italy, then it's another story: dinner there may start really late, also at 10 pm sometimes. Meals are usually really long only during festivities (especially on christmas day). Just to clarify, we don't spend our entire lives eating Edit: guys 10 pm is really late and kind of an exaggeration, but I have some friends in Rome, Matera and Foggia that sometimes (I repeat, may start really late sometimes) have dinner around that time. It was not a generalization but more like a "latest hour" case scenario. I know it's highly unusual, but still, can happen

Northern and Southern Italy are *very* different places. Most of the Italian food abd restaurants in America, except maybe some *very* expensive ones, are Southern Italian.
@@gs7828 ma dove abiti nel sud tirolo? Solo i crucchi mangiano alle 19, un Italiano che si rispetta non mangia mai prima delle 8, orario perfetto secondo me 8:30-9:30

I know this is supposed to be funny and as an Italian person I'm sure I have stereotypes about Americans too, but honestly... Why is it that every time an American does an impersonation of an Italian person they always do the hand gestures and the mamma mia thing? By the way, meals last hours only on special occasions. Everyone I know has dinner at 8/8:30 and it never lasts hours. Especially in Veneto, which is in the north of Italy.
@Carlo Cocciolo his last name is "Passi De Preposulo", a noble italian family from Bergamo, Lombardia. As a matter of facts this name is challenging even for a native italian speaker...
@@pabloformenti2910 Beh sai visto che nei commenti non siamo soltanto italiani si scrive in inglese per far capire a tutti quello che diciamo. Se chiedono le cose che gli rispondiamo in italiano? Poi che capiscono.
I'm a 49 y.o. Italian and i haven't seen or heard of a 3 hours long meal in my entire life. Maybe in weddings, Christmas and similar. I don't know anyone who starts dinner at 10pm, seriously. The typical dinner time is at 8/8.30pm. The mother who keeps stuffing you with food for hours: that's cinema, not reality. She married a northern Italian, not exactly the kind of people who fit into the typical italian stereotypes - well, except "mamma mia", which we all say. Looks like this lady is feeding the public with stories people like to hear.
no wonder the in laws don’t like her so much! She got married in a villa that is a national monument and didn’t even realize there was no water around. She said the husband is Venetian and Jimmy followed with the classic American stereotype of the gondola rowing because it’s obvious everyone in Venice rides a gondola. The husband is from Carbonera in the Treviso province (not even in the Venice province) 25km about 15.5 miles from Venice, like to say someone at JFK airport has a window on central park or like someone from New Jersey tell you he is a New Yorker. They just lost a good opportunity to look less ignorant than the typical American, (how about this stereotype!) very disappointing for someone like Jessica that claims to have social responsibility ideals
For someone married to an Italian man it's quite strange that she can't even pronounce his first name properly. The Gian part of Gianluca is pronounced like the j in joker. It's not a French J like Jean Luc. Although if she can't pronounce it it's properly her husband's fault for not correcting her more than hers.
I didn't know that a rich, noble North Italian family has the same behaviour of a typical poor South Italian family. That's wonderful! For American people, we have no differences between North and south or even between rich and poor...
My husband is Italian and I can relate to this 100%! My mother speaks no Italian and his mother speaks only Italian and when they meet, they look like a duck trying to speak to a hen but amazingly they get along very well together (muttering and sign languaging 😂) and enjoy our vacations together 🥰🥰🥰
I'm 100% italian and I don't get this. Why do americans always talk about us like we're so into food? I mean of course our food is amazing and we do love it, but we don't spend hours eating! We also work or study etc. A normal lunch starts and ends in 30 minutes maximum 1 hour. And no, we don't have dinner at 10! Some people will have dinner at 7 and some at 8\9! It's 2018... and people still have old steoreotypes.
3 hours a meal: we obviously don't work in Italy and do nothing in our lives but eating. Come ooooon (I know she's lovely, but still...) Plus, she's mispronouncing his name... Which is a bit sad, I think, considering that he's her husband!
LOL I'm from the same region her husband is (Veneto) and I can assure you people here starts dinner at around 7pm (8pm at the latest) , and within 30 minutes we're done. Meals only last that much during holidays, and surely not at 10pm (restaurants in some towns are even closed at that hour). In South Italy they surely eat at a later o'clock than us, but 10 sounds a bit extreme, 9pm yes, 10pm... I doubt it! But we surely do say "Mamma Mia" a lot, that is true! Haha
Why are people arguing about it? This is not a cultural lecture. She is talking about her own experience with her own in-laws. All stereotypes are based on some level of truth, even if it only applies to a small number of people. If her in-laws are stereotypes, that is their own specific personalities. She is not claiming all Italians behave this way. Get over it.
@@squizzi1 Perchè parla del nord italia in modo chiaramente falso. E' come dire. Bella la sicilia ma la cosa che mi piace di più lì è la polenta e il dialetto trentino. ma dai
chatterbox11 "what time does dinner start in Italy?" "Oh, dinner? 10 PM." Seems pretty straightforward to me. A lot of things she said about italian people, even in other videos, are literally just a bunch of stereotypes of southern italians that no one actually resembles (the finger twisting on the cheek to say something's tasty, the horns with the hands etc.) you can tell 'cause she also makes the stereotypical exaggerated neapolitan accent, while his husband is venetian therefore has a completely different accent + is a noble which means that probably speaks clean italian
I don't know what it is about Jessica Chastain, but I find her absolutely adorable. Maybe it's her completely unguarded, unspoiled manner, or that spontaneous girlish giggle she has when teased. She's completely unpretentious, sweet, and a fine actress. I love her.
I really don't understand how foreigners get to experience these 4 hour lasting meals starting at 10 pm in Italy. I am Italian and I have been living my whole life here (I am originally from Sicily). Dinner starts at 08.00. pm and I am usually done in about 30 minutes. Lol
1. Us Italians don't eat for 4 hours straight every day but just on holidays such as Christmas, New Year's Eve and Easter with all the family and our meals last 1 hour. We don't dinner at 10pm but at 8-9 pm; 2. We know what means being vegan because many of us are; 3. We aren't quiet, this is true and we don't always do strange things with our voice like Jessica did 😅; 4. We sometimes say "mamma mia" but we are more volgar 🥲 You're welcome! 😜🇮🇹 Spoiler: I'm from southern Italy. 😽
Actually us italians eat at 7:30-9:00 pm generally speaking, in fact for me it’s insane hearing about americans that eat at like 5:30/6, it’s still afternoon basically
Her in-laws are counts (aristocrats) and they are from Veneto (Italy north-east). I really doubt they go on saying "mamma mia" shaking their hands. She should spend more time in Italy, now that she can. A good laugh though ahah
this is really silly. I am italian and vegan. I don't say mamma mia, I don't talk like that. I know her husband comes from an aristocratic family, so I don't really believe his parents are like that. She is so rude. If they didn't hate her before, they certainly do now.
These stereotypes are frankly unpleasant: we Italians eat at normal hours, don't stay long hours at a dinner table and in working days most people eat a sandwitch at lunchtime or do not eat at all. Young Italians speak English and some even 2 foreign languages (German in the north, French or Spanish in the south). Many of them are vegetarians or vegans. Come on mrs. Chastain, we no longer live in the Middle Ages
Americans just love reinforcing Italian stereotypes. I can’t believe she’s been dating an Italian for six years and still hasn’t learned much about the Italian culture. I’m vegetarian and my grandparents never had a problem adapting to my new lifestyle, since day one. We are not loud, we actually hate it when people raise their voice. We don’t use our hands any more than other cultures do. And we have dinner at about 8pm and the meal lasts about 30 mins. Longer meals only occur on special occasions, like Christmas. And I never ever heard in my life one single Italian talking the way Americans do when they try to speak Italian. At least this happens in the northern regions. In the south it’s a different story. But please go on and keep believing all the stereotypes you want.
n the south it's a different story, but still we don't speak the way they think we do. Dinner time may vary from 7 pm to 10 pm even in the South and it may last from 15 mins to one hour. Some families may speak lower or higher like the rest of the world, but i hate it when people generalize like " all italians do like this" or " all people in the south do like that", i think it's so narrow-minded.
corsaro nero really? Do you know me or any of my friends personally? Because, believe it or not, not everyone in the north is brainless. There are bad and good people in the north as there are in the south as there are in any other northern or southern place in the world.
When you talk about italians, you can't generalize. We are not a simple Country, we are a universe with differences in atomic level. From North to South can change everything.
Dinner is flexible, from 7 pm in the winter, to 10 pm in the summer. At least, with my family it is like that. I was born and raised in Bologna, in Italy. Pasta and Fagioli is awsome!!!! A little heavy, but awsome.
Exactly plus we don't eat in three hours every meal of the day, it happens only at christmas and easter or big occasion. People work in Italy too, we gotta be quick.
And I'm pretty sure when she goes there on a vacation it's like Christmas, so that is why meals are longer. U don't need to explain these things. It's obv u dont eat all day long every day. lol.
I’m Italian, and I’ve never eaten later than 8pm, also my meals are very very very short (usually one or two dishes) + it’s not that hard being a vegan in Italy (might even be easier than in other countries) we do have a very diverse cuisine (lots of veggies and other stuff) I for one I hardly ever eat meat nor dairies. Just a clarification to prevent stereotypes :)
@@lucarossi8442 non capisco il tuo commento, solo se sei una capra puoi riuscire a mangiare latticini? Il punto del mio discorso è che non è poi così difficile tagliarli o sostituirli nella propria dieta.
dinner at 10pm?! weird. I'm Italian and I swear to you no one eats this late. At least in my region, although I'm not sure about some in the south and some regions in the north. Also, staying a lot of time at the dinner/lunch table only occurs during holidays or like, special occasions. We use it as an "excuse" to socialise and get to know other people. (In Spain they have something similar and call it "the sobremesa"). Good thing is, however, if you're invited and the dinner drags on for a few hours, and then you take your time, eating, drink coffee afterwards, have a chat... chances are you're considered really part of the family! :) Lol but the force-feeding is very typical of grandmas.
Going through the comments, are there seriously no Italians shocked by the fact she can't pronounce her own husband's name? And it's not just the big, long surname - she even got Gian completely wrong. Not to mention the exaggerated stereotypes about everything Italian.
She is talking about her husband’s family, not all Italians. As is the case in every country, every person is unique, and some people engage in behavior that is very different from how the majority of people behave.
@@chatterbox11 Listen, clearly you don't know Italy that much. I can say that what she said is definitely impossible. Especially in that part of Italy. She did that kind of accent/pronunciation that doesn't even exist and it is reproduced from every foreigner who wants to make fun on italy. It's really ridiculous trust me.
Rosa Del Vecchio I have been to Italy and have relatives who live in the country. I am not presenting myself as an expert. But, I do know she has no reason to lie, she is discussing how her husband’s family behaved. Every family is unique and some people may be quite eccentric. Why should it bother you for her to discuss her own in-laws? Most people, including myself, are capable of differentiating between her in-laws and all other Italians. We understand Italy is a modern and diverse country, and we know not all Italians behave this way. All this protesting over an old interview where a woman is discussing her own husband’s family is rather silly, and it seems unnecessarily defensive. My suggestion is to move on to other things and do not worry about this one specific interview.
@@chatterbox11 You are absolutely right! I was just referring to SOME of the things she said: We don't usually have dinner at 10pm, more like 8pm Lunches/dinners don't usually last 3/4 hours, it only happens if it is a special occasion (like meeting a new member of the familiy, birthdays, holidays ecc) "brodo" is an italian dish made with chicken, so not vegan... a variation of that is "brodo" with vegetables (in that case it would be vegetarian), but is not that common in Italy.
She's cute and funny, but as pointed out from someone else, I wouldn't believe that a Veneto's family has dinner at 10:00pm, even if I see it by myself. 3-4 hours meals and/or that late, are mainly a southern italian thing; here in the north we have usually short lunches/dinners (if not, of course, in some cases like Christmas or Easter.) and usually between 12 and 1pm and around 7-8pm. Just for info :)

That’s exactly how woman in love looks like. Even just for watching the video I could feel she was completely in love and felt blessed. That’s so nice to see. I wish someday I could be in that position too, though it’s a super hard case.
The description seems of some kind of stereotypical "italian mamma" but being they are from Venezia (anybody actually living in Venezia is extremely wealthy by just owning a home there) and brought her for a vacation in Cortina d'Ampezzo, a very chic top notch skiing resort in the Alps, I'm pretty sure things were a bit different... Oh and BTW we Italians do make "oh!" "Eeh!" sounds while talking...but you guys to is sound even funnier because you keep going "eeeee" "aaaaaaa" "ooooo" "yeah yeah yeah"... :D
I can totally see an normal average Italian family hating a vegan actress from California who makes them look like every Italian stereotype I’ve ever heard 😂 and asks about if the Brodo is vegan 🤮
I'm from Italy. This is just another video that is absolutely wrong. If you've not noticed yet, Italy is on planet Earth, not on the moon……… Instead of listening to stereotypes, come over here, enjoy Italy, food, culture, history, nature and nice behaving and you'll become debunkers of all those STUPID stereotypes.
Being vegan and married into Italian family. She really didn't think it through 😂

No one eats at 10 p.m. MADONNA SANTA.

She has the kind of laugh that makes you want to never stop telling her jokes.

I know this is supposed to be funny and as an Italian person I'm sure I have stereotypes about Americans too, but honestly... Why is it that every time an American does an impersonation of an Italian person they always do the hand gestures and the mamma mia thing? By the way, meals last hours only on special occasions. Everyone I know has dinner at 8/8:30 and it never lasts hours. Especially in Veneto, which is in the north of Italy.

I'm a 49 y.o. Italian and i haven't seen or heard of a 3 hours long meal in my entire life. Maybe in weddings, Christmas and similar.
I don't know anyone who starts dinner at 10pm, seriously. The typical dinner time is at 8/8.30pm.
The mother who keeps stuffing you with food for hours: that's cinema, not reality.
She married a northern Italian, not exactly the kind of people who fit into the typical italian stereotypes - well, except "mamma mia", which we all say.
Looks like this lady is feeding the public with stories people like to hear.
Ma è ovvio che sia così
no wonder the in laws don’t like her so much! She got married in a villa that is a national monument and didn’t even realize there was no water around. She said the husband is Venetian and Jimmy followed with the classic American stereotype of the gondola rowing because it’s obvious everyone in Venice rides a gondola. The husband is from Carbonera in the Treviso province (not even in the Venice province) 25km about 15.5 miles from Venice, like to say someone at JFK airport has a window on central park or like someone from New Jersey tell you he is a New Yorker. They just lost a good opportunity to look less ignorant than the typical American, (how about this stereotype!) very disappointing for someone like Jessica that claims to have social responsibility ideals
For someone married to an Italian man it's quite strange that she can't even pronounce his first name properly. The Gian part of Gianluca is pronounced like the j in joker. It's not a French J like Jean Luc. Although if she can't pronounce it it's properly her husband's fault for not correcting her more than hers.
I didn't know that a rich, noble North Italian family has the same behaviour of a typical poor South Italian family. That's wonderful! For American people, we have no differences between North and south or even between rich and poor...
My husband is Italian and I can relate to this 100%! My mother speaks no Italian and his mother speaks only Italian and when they meet, they look like a duck trying to speak to a hen but amazingly they get along very well together (muttering and sign languaging 😂) and enjoy our vacations together 🥰🥰🥰
I'm 100% italian and I don't get this. Why do americans always talk about us like we're so into food? I mean of course our food is amazing and we do love it, but we don't spend hours eating! We also work or study etc. A normal lunch starts and ends in 30 minutes maximum 1 hour. And no, we don't have dinner at 10! Some people will have dinner at 7 and some at 8\9! It's 2018... and people still have old steoreotypes.
Italians roll their eyes when they see this.
she deserves all this happiness!
Dinner at 10pm?? I'm Italian and asleep by then lol
It's so nice to see someone really happy and in love.
3 hours a meal: we obviously don't work in Italy and do nothing in our lives but eating. Come ooooon (I know she's lovely, but still...)
Plus, she's mispronouncing his name... Which is a bit sad, I think, considering that he's her husband!
OMG THE STEREOTYPES ARE STRONG IN THIS ONE!
Dinner at 10.00 p.m. in Veneto? Huge exaggeration. Not even in Sicily. In northern Italy dinner is anytime between 7.30 and 8.30 p.m.
Dipende da come quella famiglia ha vissuto e quali abitudini ha.
*MUUUURPH!!!*
Hahahaha i laugh at this
MAKE ME STAY
LOL I'm from the same region her husband is (Veneto) and I can assure you people here starts dinner at around 7pm (8pm at the latest) , and within 30 minutes we're done. Meals only last that much during holidays, and surely not at 10pm (restaurants in some towns are even closed at that hour). In South Italy they surely eat at a later o'clock than us, but 10 sounds a bit extreme, 9pm yes, 10pm... I doubt it!
But we surely do say "Mamma Mia" a lot, that is true! Haha
Come on! Seriously? that's a bunch of stereotypes, dinner at 10pm? not in a million years
Why are people arguing about it? This is not a cultural lecture. She is talking about her own experience with her own in-laws. All stereotypes are based on some level of truth, even if it only applies to a small number of people. If her in-laws are stereotypes, that is their own specific personalities. She is not claiming all Italians behave this way. Get over it.

"what time does dinner start in Italy?"
"Oh, dinner? 10 PM."
Seems pretty straightforward to me. A lot of things she said about italian people, even in other videos, are literally just a bunch of stereotypes of southern italians that no one actually resembles (the finger twisting on the cheek to say something's tasty, the horns with the hands etc.) you can tell 'cause she also makes the stereotypical exaggerated neapolitan accent, while his husband is venetian therefore has a completely different accent + is a noble which means that probably speaks clean italian
@@chatterbox11 why are you talking about something you can't clearly understand?
I don't know what it is about Jessica Chastain, but I find her absolutely adorable. Maybe it's her completely unguarded, unspoiled manner, or that spontaneous girlish giggle she has when teased. She's completely unpretentious, sweet, and a fine actress. I love her.
italians don't eat at 10 pm!! we have long meals during festivities but not in everyday life!
forse l'hanno portata in Spagna e non se n è accorta 😅
I really don't understand how foreigners get to experience these 4 hour lasting meals starting at 10 pm in Italy. I am Italian and I have been living my whole life here (I am originally from Sicily). Dinner starts at 08.00. pm and I am usually done in about 30 minutes. Lol
1. Us Italians don't eat for 4 hours straight every day but just on holidays such as Christmas, New Year's Eve and Easter with all the family and our meals last 1 hour. We don't dinner at 10pm but at 8-9 pm;
2. We know what means being vegan because many of us are;
3. We aren't quiet, this is true and we don't always do strange things with our voice like Jessica did 😅;
4. We sometimes say "mamma mia" but we are more volgar 🥲
You're welcome! 😜🇮🇹
Spoiler: I'm from southern Italy. 😽
Actually us italians eat at 7:30-9:00 pm generally speaking, in fact for me it’s insane hearing about americans that eat at like 5:30/6, it’s still afternoon basically
Her in-laws are counts (aristocrats) and they are from Veneto (Italy north-east). I really doubt they go on saying "mamma mia" shaking their hands. She should spend more time in Italy, now that she can. A good laugh though ahah
Perché? Un aristocratico non può dire "mamma mia"? Mica è una parolaccia...

this is really silly. I am italian and vegan. I don't say mamma mia, I don't talk like that. I know her husband comes from an aristocratic family, so I don't really believe his parents are like that. She is so rude. If they didn't hate her before, they certainly do now.
Did she say she was visiting YOU and your family during this interview?? Nope.
@@lisalrocks the story is unbelievable.
@@lisalrocks She is just spitting out anti italianism, that's the point

Such a gorgeous lady!
These stereotypes are frankly unpleasant: we Italians eat at normal hours, don't stay long hours at a dinner table and in working days most people eat a sandwitch at lunchtime or do not eat at all. Young Italians speak English and some even 2 foreign languages (German in the north, French or Spanish in the south). Many of them are vegetarians or vegans. Come on mrs. Chastain, we no longer live in the Middle Ages
From Italy: about meal time in Italy, remember Chastain is talking about a special occasion because we italians don't start at 10 pm to make dinner.
her smile is so genuine. i loooove it and her
At 9 pm my parents and my entire italian village hit the sack. And I come from the region she's talking about.
Dinner in northern Italy usually starts at 19:00 - Central Italy: 20:00/20:30 - Southern Italy: 21:00+
Al nord solo i vecchi mangiano a quell'ora, realisticamente si inizia verso le 20 o anche dopo
Dinner in northern Italy is around 8pm
have you spent part of your life timing every inhabitant of northern Italy to say it for sure?
Well he certainly found a gem in Jessica Chastain! He better defend her so eventually his family can see she really is a gem! :')
Americans just love reinforcing Italian stereotypes. I can’t believe she’s been dating an Italian for six years and still hasn’t learned much about the Italian culture. I’m vegetarian and my grandparents never had a problem adapting to my new lifestyle, since day one. We are not loud, we actually hate it when people raise their voice. We don’t use our hands any more than other cultures do. And we have dinner at about 8pm and the meal lasts about 30 mins. Longer meals only occur on special occasions, like Christmas. And I never ever heard in my life one single Italian talking the way Americans do when they try to speak Italian. At least this happens in the northern regions. In the south it’s a different story. But please go on and keep believing all the stereotypes you want.
n the south it's a different story, but still we don't speak the way they think we do. Dinner time may vary from 7 pm to 10 pm even in the South and it may last from 15 mins to one hour. Some families may speak lower or higher like the rest of the world, but i hate it when people generalize like " all italians do like this" or " all people in the south do like that", i think it's so narrow-minded.
So, apparently Family Guy lied to me and I can’t speak Italian!
It's pretty much the same thing here in the south tbh.
It really just depends on the family, like everywhere else in the world
corsaro nero really? Do you know me or any of my friends personally? Because, believe it or not, not everyone in the north is brainless. There are bad and good people in the north as there are in the south as there are in any other northern or southern place in the world.
Brava, super esaustiva 👏👏
They must be a cute couple together, wish her husband was there :)
I don't
Her husband's really handsome!
She is such sweet person. So radiant!
Did y'all know this woman is 42. 42!!!! She looks like she's in her late 20s or early 30s 🤯
@Bren cato Or it might be the veganism!
When you talk about italians, you can't generalize. We are not a simple Country, we are a universe with differences in atomic level. From North to South can change everything.
Infatti i veneti sono più tedeschi che italiani e sicuramente vogliono l'indipendenza dallo stato centrale.
Dinner is flexible, from 7 pm in the winter, to 10 pm in the summer. At least, with my family it is like that.
I was born and raised in Bologna, in Italy.
Pasta and Fagioli is awsome!!!! A little heavy, but awsome.
She has a beautiful smile ❤
Jessica Chastain is beautiful

yess
Italians don't eat at 10 p.m. It's too late.
Andrea Penny you get the point Italians eat late
More like one big long meal, with several occasions where grandmother puts more food on your plate, in the second you are about to finish.
Exactly plus we don't eat in three hours every meal of the day, it happens only at christmas and easter or big occasion.
People work in Italy too, we gotta be quick.
She said Americans eat 10 meals a day. Didn't u listen to her.
And I'm pretty sure when she goes there on a vacation it's like Christmas, so that is why meals are longer. U don't need to explain these things. It's obv u dont eat all day long every day. lol.
Nah, being vegan is definitely not a problem in Italy. I’m from Veneto just like her husband and vegan food is very successful here.
Only Super Mario says all the time “Mamma mia”! Not in Italian real life. 😜
So many untrue stereotypes it's awful. Eating dinner at 10pm in Treviso? Please!
It's awful? What's awful? Relax, it's not like she disrespected you or something saying that you eat at 10 pm. Jeez, chill

I’m Italian, and I’ve never eaten later than 8pm, also my meals are very very very short (usually one or two dishes) + it’s not that hard being a vegan in Italy (might even be easier than in other countries) we do have a very diverse cuisine (lots of veggies and other stuff) I for one I hardly ever eat meat nor dairies.

dinner at 10pm?! weird. I'm Italian and I swear to you no one eats this late. At least in my region, although I'm not sure about some in the south and some regions in the north.
Also, staying a lot of time at the dinner/lunch table only occurs during holidays or like, special occasions. We use it as an "excuse" to socialise and get to know other people. (In Spain they have something similar and call it "the sobremesa"). Good thing is, however, if you're invited and the dinner drags on for a few hours, and then you take your time, eating, drink coffee afterwards, have a chat... chances are you're considered really part of the family! :)
Lol but the force-feeding is very typical of grandmas.
Her acting in mollys game is fantastic

I'm from Italy and nothing of what she said is true
She is talking about her husband’s family, not all Italians. As is the case in every country, every person is unique, and some people engage in behavior that is very different from how the majority of people behave.
@@omelas8375 Io penso che tu non sei napoletano.... I think you're not Neapolitan ....
@@chatterbox11 Listen, clearly you don't know Italy that much. I can say that what she said is definitely impossible. Especially in that part of Italy. She did that kind of accent/pronunciation that doesn't even exist and it is reproduced from every foreigner who wants to make fun on italy. It's really ridiculous trust me.
Rosa Del Vecchio I have been to Italy and have relatives who live in the country. I am not presenting myself as an expert. But, I do know she has no reason to lie, she is discussing how her husband’s family behaved. Every family is unique and some people may be quite eccentric. Why should it bother you for her to discuss her own in-laws? Most people, including myself, are capable of differentiating between her in-laws and all other Italians. We understand Italy is a modern and diverse country, and we know not all Italians behave this way. All this protesting over an old interview where a woman is discussing her own husband’s family is rather silly, and it seems unnecessarily defensive. My suggestion is to move on to other things and do not worry about this one specific interview.
@@chatterbox11 You are absolutely right! I was just referring to SOME of the things she said:
We don't usually have dinner at 10pm, more like 8pm
Lunches/dinners don't usually last 3/4 hours, it only happens if it is a special occasion (like meeting a new member of the familiy, birthdays, holidays ecc)
"brodo" is an italian dish made with chicken, so not vegan... a variation of that is "brodo" with vegetables (in that case it would be vegetarian), but is not that common in Italy.
all italians in this comment section are like "????? is this chick high??"
Full of clichés! Meals last 4 hours during festivities, like Christmas, Easter and weddings. And also I don't know anyone who eats at 10 pm 🙄🙄
dinner at 10 pm in Italy ? Most of italians can't wait until 10 pm, few of them can't even survive
Dinner in Italy starts at 10pm??? That's not true!!! :)
Maybe his family lived in Spain at one point? LMFAO
She said she’s jet lagged
That is true, my family eats at 10pm or later all the time...
Non è che tutti mangiano alla stessa ora tua..... e dai....
She's so frantic and giddy now, I love it! She's like a huge butterfly.

Her jet lag-ness is making Jess even more adorable (:
They spend so much time during lunch by arguing over math, especially in Veneto.
15+18=?
36!
She's cute and funny, but as pointed out from someone else, I wouldn't believe that a Veneto's family has dinner at 10:00pm, even if I see it by myself.
3-4 hours meals and/or that late, are mainly a southern italian thing; here in the north we have usually short lunches/dinners (if not, of course, in some cases like Christmas or Easter.) and usually between 12 and 1pm and around 7-8pm.
Just for info :)

in fairness to her, I imagine they visit his family during holidays, in which case its more understandable that they have late and long meals

Si è sposata un rampollo di una famiglia nobile abbastanza ricca quindi è per questo che le loro abitudini non rispecchiano quelle della "famiglia tradizionale" del nord, io per esempio abito vicino al confine con l'Emilia-Romagna, e d'inverno nella mia famiglia (di origini contadine) si è sempre cenato verso le 19:30.
That’s exactly how woman in love looks like. Even just for watching the video I could feel she was completely in love and felt blessed. That’s so nice to see. I wish someday I could be in that position too, though it’s a super hard case.
The description seems of some kind of stereotypical "italian mamma" but being they are from Venezia (anybody actually living in Venezia is extremely wealthy by just owning a home there) and brought her for a vacation in Cortina d'Ampezzo, a very chic top notch skiing resort in the Alps, I'm pretty sure things were a bit different...
Oh and BTW we Italians do make "oh!" "Eeh!" sounds while talking...but you guys to is sound even funnier because you keep going "eeeee" "aaaaaaa" "ooooo" "yeah yeah yeah"... :D
I’m italian aaaaand... Nobody eats at 10pm 😂 but that’s ok, maybe her husband has a special tradition
