Dear Kid,
If you think a “cicerone” is a type of Italian food, you clearly haven’t been watching enough Food TV.
This is a good thing since you are supposed to be studying things other than food. And, being the kind of mom I am, I am here to provide the small bits that are missing in your more formal education.
A Cicerone is a beer expert. Not just any beer expert. A tested and certified beer expert. Specifically one who has been tested and certified by the Cicerone Certifying People.
Although it sounds like an excellent Italian meal.
Becoming a Cicerone involves learning about beer and taking tests. If it were an Italian meal it would involve cheese and sauce.
Becoming a Master Cicerone involves more learning and more tests and blind taste tests. Only about 2 people per year qualify for Master Cicerone status.
Drinking slightly flat beer in college does not qualify one for Cicerone status.
It might however qualify one to eat Italian food.
