    Thought I would share some American vs. Italian common words used today. The Italian language is fast fading here in America and its old style traditions:

    Mozzarella Americans say Mozza rella
    Italians say: Moot sa ella

    Ricotta, Americans say Ree Cotta
    Italians say: Ri Gawta

    Ladle is American, Italians call it a Coo pee na (Cupina)

    Dish towel is American Italians call it a Mup Peena

    Basil is American Italians call it Vas in ee gall

    Tomatoe sauce is American Italians always call it Gravy

    Hope you liked your Italian/American lesson.
