Several Italian cities this past week, including Milan, took the unusual step of banning any new ethnic food outlets from opening. The Italian Minister of Agriculture, Luca Zaia, is a staunch supporter of the foreign food ban. When asked if he had ever tasted a kebab, he replied with the following:"No – and I defy anyone to prove the contrary. I prefer the dishes of my native Veneto. I even refuse to eat pineapple."
