italians eat chinese

Not only do Italians eat Chinese, they cook Chinese, and
include the
recipes in their most popular cookbook:

Substitute "italians" with "the editors of that book", please.

BTW - Amazon's review reports the book's title as "Il Cucchino
d'argentino", 2 errors in 4 words: the italian cookbook's title
is "Il cucchiaio d'argento".

The editors of that book are trying to reflect Italian tradition.
Current tradition.

Yes, they're trying to, but if they makes people think italians
are cooking chinese at home, well, better if they try to reflect
something else: nobody that I know is cooking chinese at home
unless they want to make something fancy, which is the exact
opposite of traditional cooking. IMHO that book is losing contact
with tradition.

Cucchiao d'argento doesn't really claim to be traditional in
particular, but the all-round kitchen helper that Betty Crocker or Joy
of Cooking once were in the US. I know lots of Italians who have
bought woks, but they mostly make stir fries because you simply can't
get the right ingredients in most areas. I think they do consider that
Chinese, however. I have a friend who bought a non-stick wok and asked
me how to use it. I told her you couldn't heat it enough for Chinese
cooking, but you could use it for Indian cooking. She cheerfully
replied, "OK, teach me how to make Indian food."

This is a better explanation.

Methinks the most part of those woks are being forgotten
somewhere under a pile of pots.

Well, you know what they say ... there are Chinese everywhere, there
are a lot of Chinese!
