You are reminding me of my great aunt who was a war bride from Italy. She was about 4'7" tall and her accent was so thick you had to ask her to repeat what she was asking over and over. Her name was Dina and she married my grandpa's brother (both Polish and were in the military for WWII).
She would NOT accept a decline for her food. When we went to visit, she would ask us if we wanted her to make a lasagna, as if it was something as easy as a grilled cheese sandwich. She always made sure my sisters and I left her house with a crisp $5 bill too, no matter how old we were. As she aged, her kyphosis got really bad and she could barely walk. I adored her so much and loved listening to her stories of the "old country". She was married to her husband for over 60 years and I'm happy she had a great life in a small town of Ohio. Thanks for sparking my memory of her.

I’m not Italian, but my grandfather firmly believed if you walked into his house, you had to be hungry! Whether you were or not, you sat down and had a bite. He was adorable!! I told my husband the first time I took him home, just eat. A lot. He’ll love you-and he did!!

Im Irish and I married an Italian. We always feed our guests. I’m moreso obsessed than he is about doing it lol. Once we went to Fano to see his brother in law. The whole 3 generations of family lived in a 3 story building. Everyone from every floor pitched in and within 30 minutes we had a huge banquet.

I'm Dutch and I had this exact grandma. In fact, I believe everyone has a grandma like that.

I am Iranian but I do absolutely love people from Italy and I can really relate to them and how they do in many aspects although the countries are far apart. I find many similarities. Much love for Italy and the Italian people 🇮🇹🇮🇷

This is Croatian family from the old country, too! Very typical of my entire family. Love it!

[silkenaria]

I had an Armenian Grammi(R.I.P.), same attitude, and vibes. It's how they show love. ❤

" You look skinny.!!"..this is the best..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My grandmother was a big wine drinker 😂 I still remember the day she had one to many glasses of wine and forgot she needed to bring me home still, watching that woman waddle around in a stupor giggling away was great. She drove me home carefully, of course. Going 15 mph 😂😂 I miss her every day, and she was the only reason I would eat sometimes. Couldn't resist her cooking. ❤

😂😂😂 In mainland Spain is the same!!! ✨👌🏼
I believe they show their love through food in the past many couldn't afford...
And definitely, also forgot the meaning of the word "NO"!
😂🙏🏼

Imagine how it was here in southern Italy some decades ago, when I went to visit my parents ' native village. You had grandma and your parents siblings and all their families so you had lunch and dinner covered for all your stay. Then you had to pay a visit during the day to a long list of grandaunts and granduncles (my granny had 5 sisters and 2 brothers) and then all the godmothers and godfathers and all the people you had to call auntie or uncle out of respect. Each house you entered you had to sit down, eat some traditional sweets made for the last religious feast (could be Christmas, Easter, several patron Saints of the village, baptism, communion, confirmation, wedding of anyone from 1/3 of the village which your host considered "relative"). You absolutely had to eat it and if you answered "yes" to the question "do you like it?" you had to eat at list one more. If you refused something the only acceptable reason was sickness and in that case you were offered a tea or chamomile or a strong alcoholic homemade herbal infusion. You were offered plenty of alcohol (homemade often strange tasting wine or homemade grappa, limoncello, eggnog and other strange and obscure secret recipes) and repeat usually two times. I remember at times I thought I hated it. Now that all the older generation has passed away, when I go there I have an excruciating nostalgia and I'd pay all the money in the world to pay a visit to the dozens of beloved people I called Zio, Zia, Compare and Commare...

This reminds me of my Mexican family. Not the wine, but you are always offered a drink and food. Love our culture.

My italian husbands grandmother has made me eat until I'm nauseous multiple times because I'm too skinny. "Men want women to be nice and round". Even my husbands protests were not going to stop her from feeding me an unholy amount of ice cream and cookies 😅😅😅 but I love her

[KatharineMongrain]

Adorable. Lol. I just say "no im sorry i have a heart condition'. Usually solves the "why aren't you drinking " problem. Although god i do miss drinking sometimes. Like not alcoholic, but occasionally a drink is great!

My parents were born in the Appalachian Mountains of Southeastern KY. Our table always had canned vegetables, meat, raw onions (green onions, yellow onions and ramps from our garden). My sister's now husband was a dairy farm boy from Ohio. The first time he came to dinner we told him if my Dad offered him onions just take it then hide it on his plate. When my Mom got done making my Dad's plate, my brother in law got up to get his food. My Dad told him to sit down, that my sister would do it. My sister stopped where she was and announced to the room that she wasn't going to start this practice. If he wanted food he could get up and make his own plate. The Women's Movement had. finally made it to our house!

[Krishnalondon]

Indian culture n hospitality is similar. You cant leave their home without full meal

[Bubu_Lover]

Yes, italian (grand)parents are exactly like this😊🎉

[annaspielman]

This reminds me exactly my Jewish mother! I’m miss her so much!!😢

[robertcainjr.]

That is my Grandmother. My friends loved her. Never went there alone because every time I visited her(weekly) they would “volunteer” to ride with me.

[rizzo]

Never say no when nonna asks you if you're hungry!😮
She will be offended. You have to eat! 😅😅
