Just got back from London and we ate too much Spanish food, and fish and chips. Got to workout hard now.

Oh, Mel...it all looks fabulous. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
I'm looking at Italy next year, if possible. I'll start dieting now!

patrons (in English) that only full three or four course menus were available. Glad to hear the custom has died out.
The custom has never been. I have been ordering only one course for more than 50 years in Italian restaurants. Italians couldn't even understand what you are worrying about. "Frowned upon? Who t.f. cares about it?"
I guess that the loved (and lamented) Sora Lella could never have imagined that English speaking customers were so... themselves... not to get the joke.
I hope you don't actually need somebody to explain why you were taught how to order a full meal and not only the author's favorite course.
