Italian man is shocked when his American wife asks for espresso with lunch: “With Mozzarella?

People from different cultures around the world have very different eating habits. What is considered normal in one part of the world may be dreadful to someone in another country. An Italian, Carlo and his American wife, Sarah, are known for their hilarious banter about their different cultural practices and their ever-growing love through them. The couple recently shared a video in which Sarah tried to try her luck by asking her traditional Italian husband if she could have an espresso with her lunch. If the first practice is common in the United States, it is inconceivable among Italians. As the couple sat down to a family lunch at home, Sarah asked, “Can you make me some coffee?”

Carlo innocently assumed his wife wanted the drink after her lunch, happily obliged. He nodded and said, “After lunch?” Sarah perplexed him by saying, “No, I want it for lunch.” The Italian immediately gave him a surprised look, totally incredulous. Although she completely deviated from his culture, Carlo kindly explained to her: “Mio Dio, my love, you can’t have coffee with mozzarella.” He offered her wine as an alternative, but Sarah, hilariously, remained adamant about having coffee. Her determination shocked Carlo beyond measure and he couldn’t help but stare at her in disbelief. “My love, no,” he said.

Knowing she had pushed her limits, Sarah tried to play a little longer and added requests but Carlo was firm on his practices and said, “I’m sorry but no.” More than their words, Carlo’s perplexed expressions amused people. “We do it in America,” Sarah said confidently. Even then, Carlo was sure to keep the two cultures distinct. With over 3,000 comments, people couldn’t help but burst out laughing at poor Carlo’s growing tension with his wife’s shenanigans. While many chuckled at the situation, others applauded how he is always patient with his wife and explains instead of reacting aggressively.
