The trouble with Italian food is, you eat it, and then three days later you’re hungry again.

**Rebo** has 51% of the vote, but I am the feud creator and I answered the Netherlands, so I think that people who answered Amsterdam should be counted as Holland/The Netherlands.

But as I said, the fair and benevolent **Rebo** has 51% of the vote.
