3. Speaking of bucatini ...

Sports announcer Greg Papa (he's from Buffalo, originally) reads an ad for a local Italian restaurant chain, and he takes off with "And their SPICY BUCATINI" ...

I remember (and who else does) the recent worldwide Bucatini shortage?
Of course, I stocked up as soon as it returned to store shelves.

But when the Mafaldine disappeared from the shelves of Sam's Italian Deli, I was gripping.
It has returned, and two or three different brands (one is enough, TBH) besides Anna's.

FWIW, Tchaikovsky HAD a summer home in Ukraine. (Trostyanets)
Dvorak is/was Czech. Try listening to Russalka.
Say, I heard Lenski's aria (From Onegin) in German (I think it was German). Culture Clash.
Neither is easy for me to understand.
