-Ricotta is 'Ri-gaut'
-Manicotti is 'mah-nah-gaut' (straight up didn't recognize this word the first few times I saw it spelled out)
-Subs are hoagies (this will make or break you)
IF they like you, you gotta expect the oddly racist compliments like 'you're one of the good ones' or finding your basic competency with something to be impressive
that said, my one friend from the US who worked in Iceland for a year won't stop gushing about how great it is, so if you think you're better than me fahk you
