The most difficult change was not mixing meat and dairy. No veal parmegana
or cheese in the meatballs.
Yet, traditional Italian meals are eaten in separate courses. First some
antipasto then the pasta (If I now want cheese on the pasta, I make sure
the sauce is a meatless sauce) Then the salad and finally the meat course.
Pork products have always been a staple of my Italian eating but now it has
disappeared.
