WHO I AM:
Hi I’m Claire, aka Ms Britaly! In 2018, I decided I wanted to change my life and relocate to Italy. I didn’t know anyone there, I didn’t speak the language and I had only visited the country twice before. Just eight months after I had made this decision, I packed up my suitcases and moved solo from London to Italy, embarking on my very first Expat experience. On paper it sounds completely bonkers but in reality it was the making of me.
On this channel I share with you the beauty and reality of everyday life, here in South Italy. I also share insider tips for visiting South Italy, so that you can get the most out of your Italian experience!

What's your experience of eating in Italy? Comment below and let me know!
I'm obsessed with "bomba" cream custard buns, they're a breakfast favourite – totally carb and calorie filled. 😅
Yeah, it's not pasta itself that could make you fat but it's about quantity and quality of food you eat with it and about the daily physical activity practiced. 👍
What about stage 5?😀Don't tell me that you have not become highly interested in cooking yourself, learning to make new dishes and knowing about food and being able to converse about food because a lot of the table talk at an Italian meal is about food and not necessarily about the food that is actually being eaten at the time.
I'm from the centre rather than south, have been living in England for like 12/13 years and I really miss food, I feel so much better when I am there and eating food in Italy, like I can tell the food I am putting in my system is good for me rather than being bad like here in England where most food makes you feel a bit cr*p or does not feel you up properly. I m genuinelly recosidering moving there just on this base, health does have to come first, right?
You forgot the "Contorno" also which comes with the meat or fish 🤣 and the limoncello the end 🥴
Wow, I’m surprised you’ve taken to eating pasta daily! At my in-laws there is always a fruit course in addition to the other courses you mentioned. I think the biggest thing for me was learning to know how much more food and courses would be arriving so I could pace myself!
Having been born a celiac, I am going to find eating the food there difficult I imagine. Cheating on this diet is not very health conducive and so part of my language learning will have to focus on understanding how to ask for, and what to recognize as off limits to me. 😢
You know- I guess eating is an affair! It is! I'm half Italian & I love to eat-but not fish! 🍝 Pasta🍝🍅🍝🍅🍝
I like my pasta with tomato paste!And sharp cheese
I always do my own pasta sauces. It is so easy, and you can control the ingredients you add. I have never been a fan of street food. You can’t beat home cooked food. 😊
I've had to limit myself to one gelato or vino a day… usually gelato wins!
The key difference is all the walking you do in Italy which manages your calories, especially if you eat everything in moderation. We never gain weight there – especially walking up and down all those steep cobblestone stairs!
