Oh my...that happens to me all the time Smile I was very impressed with my English friend when she offered her Italian B&B guests a jar of home made fig jam, but apparently, it turned out that she offered them something else  Embarassed  Very Happy

When I was a language assistant in Rome back in 1973/74 I was out in a restaurant with some fellow English students of Italian and some Italian friends we had made. One of the Italians was eating something which my English friend was unfamiliar with. He asked in Italian if she wanted a taste. "Si" she said, "ma un solo un bocchino"... The ensuing merriment was lost on her.
