    Is lasagna something people order at restaurants? It’s almost like ordering a casserole.

      In an Italian restaurant*? Sure.

      * Restaurant has to be owned and run by an Italian family. Father only has six teeth and can’t speak a word of anything other than Italian. Mother runs the kitchen like it’s her home. Bevvy of ridiculously attractive children at front of house. Menu has, at most, five dishes plus desserts.

        I know you’re exaggerating for the joke, but since Italians usually have starters + first dish (usually pasta or soup) + second dish (meat or fish) on their menus, you’d have at least 6 dishes on the menu(I’ve never seen a restaurant that doesn’t have at least 2 options for each course outside of those that don’t do a la carte) + dessert.

        Also, a bit more on topic, personally I’d much rather order lasagna than most other things on the menu as it’s usually a good dish + to do it properly at home it takes a decent amount of time. So if I’m gonna pay 20€ or whatever for a dish, I’d much rather have lasagna than pasta with pesto or a steak or whatever.

    I too wish I could blast lightning at my enemies.
