Sicilian and polenta? Whatās this sorcery? 
See, thereās something wrong. Polenta is from here (we even get called āpolentoniā by the south guys as an insult). If youāve been served polenta in the south itās clear you did not like it, they donāt know how to make it!!!

Polenta can be southern though, itās a typical dish here as well, and we are the south of Switzerland.

I knew theres some dislike between sicilian and rest of italy but I did not know theres between north and south too. Im learning something new, this why I prefer international guilds too. Its fun to hear from other countries around the world.

I like mediterranean style dishes alot but its kinda overly expensive if try make it here. Basically all fish bought from store will cost arm and leg and I cant afford pay 9-12 euro for say 400 grams of fish if I can get 500g chicken with 3 euros for comparison. Also the herbs and oil and nuts and veggies will become very expensive as diet if would start eating it here. Its strange really to think how many lakes we have and sea arounding us but still how expensive fish is in stores here. I can afford buy some only special occasions its too expensive.

You donāt get it, itās everywhere 
not just Sicily and the rest of Italy, but literally everywhere. East, west, north, south, islands, hell even in the same region you have cities that hate each other (see Pisa and Livorno for instance!)

Hopefully nothing too serious, I know everywhere is some minor feuds between neighbour town and regions etc just like in here but the times when people actually gathered to fight between neighbour towns is in history

In my region the sports feuds are around ice hockey mostly, for football we usually follow the Italian league (Iām a supporter of Atalanta of Bergamo). We just won the Europa League! 
Yea hockey is main sports here aswell, he also told to lost his teeths as goalie in whatever era they played hockey in just beanie caps when I asked why he got artificial teeth. Apparently hockey was played in plain clothes only. I wouldnt want to go between the puck and goal in plain clothes that doesnt sound like good idea at all.

I just remembered a fun story that my grandma told me, she was from Biel/Bienne, a bilingual city in western Switzerland (German/French). As kids they would literally do fights and ambushes against the other āsideā (she spoke German).
And this was in the 1920s-early 1930s lol. No idea if itās like this today.
