On The Sopranos they speak about food frequently. One gets accustomed to that, then you watch some other show and you kind of notice that the characters don't do a very good job with their food preparation - careless, not skillful, and when something gets messed up, someone will suggest, Let's just go out....
"Italians taught the world how to eat!" Tony Sirico's character states indignantly in one scene. (He's aggravated because he thinks non-Italians have borrowed Italian food and beverage inventions and are making money from them.)
Junior and Bobby - conversation:
BOBBY
She's been wonderful, helpin' take care the kids, bringin' dinner over to the house...
JUNIOR
Janice?
BOBBY
She's a pretty good cook.
JUNIOR
Since when? Everybody steers clear o' her food.
BOBBY
Nah. She made lasagna the other night - delicious. With sweet sausage along with the beef. I thought Karen's was good, but -
JUNIOR
Sweet sausage? In little pieces? And a layer of basil leaves right underneath the cheese -
BOBBY
That's right.
JUNIOR
That's Carmela's lasagna.

viewer comment:
The juxtaposition of Furio making his meal from scratch with fresh ingredients, paired with a red wine, and Tony warming his in the microwave and chugging milk is golden.
