In Greece, try the cheese they call feta
In New Orleans, a great muffaletta
For dessert, want biscotti?
Then do not be notti
In Rome when you order bruschetta.
In Italian, the consecutive letters 'sch' are pronounced as our 'sk'. I don't know how many times I've had a young waitperson in an (American) Italian restaurant leave out the 'k' sound when suggesting "brooshetta" as an appetizer. They probably say "shairtso" for scherzo, too.
