Info about, for or on Italian snacks

(LAST EDITED / UPDATED: 20 SEPTEMBER 2016)

Here are some links about, for or on Italian snacks:

 INFORMATION
  • Arancini, Fritters, and Savory Snacks – "Italy has a great tradition of street food, snacks and such that one buys in a friggitoria (where they fry foods). Wonderful stuff in mid-morning, and if you make them at home (which isn't that hard) they're excellent finger foods for parties too!" – Danette St. Onge, Our Italian Food Expert – "Our Story" – Source: Found in the Italian Food section on  About.com 
  • Italian Food for Kids – "Italian Food Facts for Children" – "About Us" – Source: Family Travel Scoop – "Travel with Kids - Plan your Family Vacation Here!" 
  • Lots of Italian Snacks and Sweets to Tempt You – "The Emmy Eats on Emmymade in Japan series of videos on YouTube are great fun. In these popular food review videos, Emmy, who is from Japan, eats and describes lots of snacks and sweets from around the world, including Italy. Emmy has made three videos about Italy so far, all of which you’ll find below. Well, I like showing off what Italy has to offer and, as well as everything else, Italy does have some interesting snacks and sweets, so I’ve decided to pop Emmy’s trips into this largely unknown world of Italian cuisine here on Italy Chronicles. If you are coming to Italy and are after a snack or a sweet treat, you probably go for something which looks familiar  – if that is, you can find anything. The language barrier can cause some problems too and as a result you may have ended up eating something which wasn’t quite what you expected. Emmy’s videos can prevent this little problem from occurring. I like Emmy’s video snack and sweet reviews because she tries lots of things I see every day – well, I do live in Italy. In Milan, to be precise. Emmy’s assistance, choosing snacks, sweets and cookies/biscuits when in Italy should no longer be a so hit and miss. People coming to live and work in Italy might find Emmy’s videos handy too. Over to you Emmy, get snacking!" – March 28, 2014 – by  – "About" – Source: ITALY chronicles – "The Italy You Don't Know" – "all about the Italy you don't know - news, politics, views, analysis, travel, food and more. Discover sides of Italy others don't always write about in English."
  • Top Nine Handheld Snacks Not to Miss in Italy – "You probably already know that my mother was born in Italy, right? And given that I’ve been going to Italy since I was born, I am rather familiar with it too, so I’d like to share some of my favorite handheld “snacks” with you. Granted, some of these snacks will keep you going for hours (like the porchetta panini), but these would never be considered a meal by Italian standards! Here they are in no particular order~" – November 6th, 2014 – Authentic Italian Food Blogger: Christina Conte – "About"  – Source: Christina's Cucina – "A Scottish Italian cook living in Los Angeles, Christina is usually cooking, baking or (cr)eating something scrumptious. When she isn't in the kitchen, she loves to travel, near and far, as long as there's good food involved. Christina is on a mission to save authentic Italian dishes from extinction, and is constantly promoting Scottish (and British) food as some of the best cuisine the world has to offer—one steak pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding at a time."

RECIPES
  • Italian Snacks – "Italians are by nature gourmands, and they typically enjoy eating on any occasion they get, so snacks are an important element in their every-day diet. Eating in-between meals is a regular thing, and they have many available choices. From baked cheese crackers and mozzarella sticks, to cold cuts like prosciutto, salame, sausages, pancetta and mortadella pieces with pickles, you definitely have lots of choices. More sophisticated snacks include chicken liver crostini, cipolle con le sarde (onions with sardines), and polpi all’Aceto (pickled octopus). Eggplant can also be served pickled with bread sticks, and tomatoes. Many Italian dishes are served with herb-seed bread, and sometimes this type of bread can be eaten as a snack. It usually contains basil, dill, oregano and sesame seeds and can be used for delicious snack sandwiches. Bell peppers are great for preparing Italian snacks, and can be served with tuna or can be stuffed with eggplant and bread crumbs." – "Browse All Italian Recipes: Italian Appetizers | Italian Beverages | Italian Soups | Italian Salads | Italian Vegetarian | Italian Meat Dishes | Italian Snacks | Italian Desserts " – "About" – Source: Found in the Recipes wikia section on fandom – "POWERED BY wikia"

  • Healthcare in Italy – "Italy ranks among the World Health Organization’sfunded. Of course, you don’t have to rely solely on public health facilities. Like many Italians top 10 countries for quality health services (by contrast, the U.S. only holds 37th place, despite being the highest spender). However, although medical facilities are considered to be adequate for any emergencies, some public hospitals are reportedly overcrowded and under-, you can avail of the parallel private medical service—known as the assicurazione sulla salute—that caters for patients covered by private medical insurance. However, in some small towns, particularly in the south, you will only be able to access the public health system—private doctors and hospitals congregate in bigger cities where residents are more likely to have private medical insurance. According to rankings, the best medical care, especially in an emergency situation, is likely to be found in the northern hospitals in cities like Milan and in central Italy near or in Rome. Reportedly, English-speaking doctors are particularly easy to come by in Rome and Milan as well." – "" – "About" – Source: International Living®– "Since 1979" – "Live Better - for Less - Overseas"

  • Italian health care system vs. the US health care system – "The Health Care System is a thorny subject in every country of the world: often tied dangerously to the political agendas of its creators, it is known to be one of those matters that could make a government capitulate. In spite of being both wealthy, developed countries, Italy and the US have completely different approaches to health care. Italy has a public-based system, supported by tax income, as well as a flourishing private insurance market, which is often chosen by Italians as a sort of top up to the standard public "mutua". In America, public coverage is limited to Medicare, and the private sector is the major provider of health coverage to citizens. In Italy, citizens and corporations pay around 50% income tax. Income tax is calculated, of course, on citizens' income, but the weight of taxation in the country is among the heaviest in the whole of Europe. Italians are certainly not alone in having to pay so much taxes, but the problem is that, especially in recent years, it seems the quality of the services provided is not as good as it should be, and this is true also for healthcare. Hospitals are often understaffed, waiting lists can be very long, especially if one's condition is not life threatening."  – Fri, 06/12/2015 - 00:00 – Submitted by Francesca Bezzone – Source: lifeinitaly.com – "is a website that covers multiple aspects of Italian contemporary life and tourism." – "News | Travel | Food & Wines | Culture | Lifestyle | Fashion | Moving to Italy | Learn Italian | Home & Garden | Places"

Here are some links about, for or on Italy in August:

 ITALY IN AUGUST
  • Coming to Italy in August? 5 Things to Expect – "If you’re experiencing August in Italy, you’re not alone! Since it’s when kids are out of school and the idea of vacation is on everyone’s mind, lots of travelers visit Italy in August. But there are some things you have to be prepared for.  Here are five things to keep in mind before you head to Italy in August." – July 30, 2012 – "ABOUT US: BLOG" – "ABOUT" – Source: Found in the TRAVEL TIPS section within the WALKS OF ITALY Blog – "Free Italy travel tips, advice, news, updates, and ideas for any vacation to Bella Italia!" on the WALKS OF ITALY – "TAKE WALKS WITH FRIENDS." – "With small groups on all our tours, you're in for a much more friendly experience."
  • Italy in August – "The sad statistic about how little vacation time Americans get is regularly trotted out, so next time you hear it you can add to the misery by realizing that Italy in August is one big vacation for many Italians." – July 8th, 2009 – by Jessica [Spiegel]  – "About whyGo" – Source: Italy section of whyGo, Part of the BootsnAll Travel Network – "ONE-STOP INDIE TRAVEL GUIDE EST. 1998"
  • Italy in August 2016 – "Italians take their holidays in August, and you will find beaches and cooler mountain towns overcrowded with Italian vacationers. There will be less people in major cities such as Florence, Milan, and Venice, as much of the locals would have gone on holiday, so these are the best places to visit if you want some peace and quiet. You should avoid the sweltering mid-day heat of August in Italy and relish instead in the night-time entertainment, such as dance, music, and theatre. In the big cities, prices are also slightly lower relative to the past three months, and the traffic is much better." – "About" – Source: VAMORO – "where & when to travel"
  • So You Want to Travel to Italy in August? (Free Italy Travel Advice) – "The entire city of Rome shuts down. It’s difficult to find a spot of empty sand on any beach. The heat is unbearable. Although each of these statements is based on a grain of truth, these are some of the popular misconceptions about visiting the land of la dolce vita during the month of August, the most important vacation time of the year for Italians. But just because Italians are on vacation doesn’t mean you can’t be. Here’s what August is really like: . . ." – "This article originally appeared in the July/August 2003 issue of Dream of Italy." – "About Dream of Italy:  DREAM OF ITALY ® provides insider Italy travel advice to help you plan an authentic Italian vacation!" – Source: DREAM OF ITALY – "TV SHOW | NEWSLETTER | BOOK YOUR TRIP | EXPLORE ITALY | BLOG | JOIN" 
  • Traveling to Italy in August – "Yes it is hot, but there are few places neighboring Italy that aren’t hot in August. I’ll share some tips below to help cope with the heat but the biggest thing is just to accept the heat. Aside from that, there are actually benefits to traveling to Italy in August. Yes, most Italians take their holidays for the month of August and head south to the sea or north to the mountains, so the cities will have less traffic. Hallelujah! Another bonus of the locals running from the cities? You can find good deals on hotels. It’s another story if you’re hoping for a mountain or sea vacation, though. Prices shoot up for hotels, flights, restaurants, and even souvenirs in the north and south of Italy so keep that in mind for your dream holiday in the land of la dolce vita.
