My favorite food is spaghetti and meatballs, do you like them?
Yeah it is one of my favorite foods, It is widely believed that spaghetti with meatballs was an innovation of early 20th-century Italian immigrants 
Wow really? I knew it was Italian, but I didn't know it was that old. It's definitely a favorite in my family!
Italian writers often mock the dish as pseudo-Italian or non-Italian because in italy it is normally served with egg pasta
