[Opinions] Re: Primavera
As in pasta Primavera? I'm not feeling it. It has a nice enough sound, but I wouldn't use it because of the pasta thing. The Albanian name Pranvera has the same roots and a lovely sound to it though, without that association.

Hmm, I'd never heard of the pasta, and I don't think it exists in the UK (where I live).According to Wikipedia it's a North American dish:

It's American/ Canadian? I would have sworn it was Italian.I like the sound of Primavera better than Pranvera too. If people can use Summer or Autumn as a name, why not Primavera?

Apparently it was made by Italian-Americans/Canadians. I don't think it's an authentic Italian dish.

I read the article. But, before reading it I would have said it's Italian.

No, I've never heard of it either. And we do eat pasta in Scandinavia! :)
