After finishing the salad, refusing the offers of Roquefort and Jarlsberg, and watching my father and grandfather sip their post-dinner red wine, I start to share with my family what I had learned that day in AP Euro—the humiliating defeat of the French in the Franco-Prussian war. Mention of this disastrous event jogs my grandparents’ memories that occurred long after the war of their parents as well as their childhoods. Family dinners at my household always end in the Spanish term, sobremesa. Sobremesa is our time after dinner to discuss our days, our memories, and our lives, all while still sitting around the dinner table. Often the topic will turn to food; “Any true French woman should know how to make pâte feuilletée” is a frequent phrase my grandmother employs. After many attempts to aid my grandmother in the kitchen, I know my cooking skills are akin to those of the Swedish Chef in comparison to my grandmother’s. Needless to say, I had no clue how to make pâte feuilletée (or puff pastry) but upon hearing the aforementioned phrase for the umpteenth time, I was resolved to learn this classic technique and asked my grandmother to teach me her …show more content…

Many scholars have written about the particularly intimate connection between food and family prevalent in Italian-American culture. Herbert Gans interprets this to be a legacy of the traditional Southern Italian peasant culture that the immigrant generation successfully passed down to the younger generations in America. Thus, the connection is implied to be a “transplanted” cultural trait. However, when viewed in light of the social changes in America, this bond was inevitably affected by the Italians’ experiences in America. Italian-American food culture was a tradition shaped by changes outside and inside the family. An examination of the Italian-American family of the interwar years (c.1919-1940) demonstrates that the critical role food came to play in the family life of Italian-Americans was very much the product of inter-generational negotiation. The second generation , largely affected by public discourse, originally viewed “Italian” food as a marker of social inferiority. Therefore, food became a major source of family conflict between generations. But, through inter-generational negotiation, food was ultimately to become a fundamental unifying force of the Italian-American family. Today, in light of the rise of inter-ethnic marriage rates between Italians and Italian-Americans in America, a new form of negotiation centering on food is taking place within the Italian-American family—‘inter-spousal’ negotiation.

“Marcellino! For the last time, PLEASE PASS THE SALAD DRESSING!,” my mother shouts to my dad jokingly. My oldest brother Marc, who has already finished his bowl of pasta, is signaling for his first refill of the night. Both my sisters are laughing hysterically at my dog, who has snatched my other brother 's chicken leg right out of his hand, and is now being chased around the kitchen while licking her chops and trying to scarf the bone down before being caught. This family dinner scene depicted was a normal part of my daily routine growing up. My family of seven made an effort to sit down once a day and eat a meal together.
