The Margherita

“Life must be eaten!”

It’s a phrase that I heard a well-known excellence of Italian cuisine utter and it stayed with me.

I thought that if life were a great margherita pizza, well there would certainly be more smiling faces and fewer conflicts in the world, because this food agrees and satisfies almost everyone’s tastes.

I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like it yet, but even if they were, I’m sure they’d be infected with the joy of the other 7.8 billion serial tasters.

So if life were a pizza, I believe that I would enjoy every ingredient, from the softest to the crispest, knowing that sooner or later it will end but in the meantime I would have enjoyed it, without leaving crumbs on the plate, but above all without ever lose the urge to eat it.

I know you’re thinking I’m a pizza, no I mean crazy dreamer and that life is also made up of bitter and hard-to-digest ingredients… I know. But think about it, the time for “pizza” always comes, so we might as well start enjoying it right away.

I’m sure that good humor is an accomplice to the success of this simple but complete dish, which is served to us with love by those who know food for the soul.
