sure... we have so many different kind of "pesto" (which literally means "mashed", so with that word you can basically mean almost any sort of sausage made with non-cooked ingredients -mainly herbs + oil, garlic, sometimes cheese and/or fruits like almonds or walnuts and so on- mashed and mixed together)... here are some examples (there's also a red version, made with dried up tomato kept in extra virgin olive oil + almonds, pine nuts and basil)... https://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Pesto-alla-trapanese.html/related/ p.s. here in the North-West of Italy the absolutely most popular version is the "classic" one, with basil, pine nuts, cheese (parmesan rather than pecorino...there's always a dispute about it), garlic and extra virgin olive oil... all the other versions are not so used/known...

you're right...probably that's a characteristic Italian beverage... but I'm not so sure they can be considered best sellers... frankly, I don't think there are many people drinking that...especially in the Central and Southern Italy...

by the way, earlier today my lunch consisted in a dish of Orecchiette con i Broccoli (and an apple)...

non-alchoolic...definitely Mineral Water...Italy is at the top of any ranking about mineral water drinking...we have I don't know how many different brands of that... alchoolic...surely wine (especially among the not so young people)...but also beer drinking is growing day after day (especially among the yougsters)... among the other drinks, I think Coca-cola and Fanta are the best sellers... we don't have a unique product different from any other Country that's so popular in our entire territory (maybe there are some local traditional products in some places -like the coffe ice-drink in Calabria and on a lesser scale the rest of Southern Italy- but they can't be considered a national beverage)...

what a wonderful awake! no, seriously...I have a real conflict within myself...I'd like to be proud of the increased chances of Milan, but I'm so scared of the possible outcome and consequences of that happening (waste of public money -as if we were not already famous for that...we call it "magna magna", to be pronounced as if the "gn" was a Spanish "ñ"- political fights beyond every imagination -as if we haven't had enough of them in the last 157 years- and also all of our NOC and winter sports federations funding and attention going lost from the youth activity and development of our sport causing years of miserable results after the "big event", as it happened with Torino 2006) that I just don't know what to think of all this... however, now it's clear that the Italian option is the last chance for the IOC...now they only have to put a red carpet between Milan and Lausanne, if they still realy care about the futrure of Winter Olympic Games...

The Americans imho is a masterpiece...one of my favourite shows ever... it's so sad that it's already over... something lighter? always on the (classic) crime kind of shows...NCIS Los Angeles... once again a crime show, but with some romance in it...Castle... a lot of action and suspance, but with a lot of sensuality too (well, better to say it's just sex and beautiful girls )...Strike Back... sit com? My Wife and Kids...the only show of this genre that makes me laugh even when I watch it for the 100th time... but if you want to go on with entertaining but somehow dull and complicated plots, then the French spy drama Le Bureau Des Agents is one of the best tv shows ever of this genre, definitely the most realistic one... personally, at the moment I'm following (among others) the Australian crime drama Harrow...and I like it (I still have to watch the last 2 episodes)... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7242816/?ref_=nv_sr_1

men and women competing together in a sport where the physical ability is a factor is never a good idea...

and if we look at the Olympic classes only, we have ESP, JPN (Kata), SRB and IRI (Kumite Middleweights) winning the "perfect" categories, meanwhile ITA / FRA and JPN / POL (Kumite Lightweights) + CRO / GER and AZE / GRE (Kumite Heavyweights) shared the "composite classes"...
