So, your evidence that Dinosaurs are connected to Primordials is that most of the Forgotten Realms' Dinosaurs are in Chult and Ubtao (a Primordial-turned-God) is the god of Chult.

I don't find that particularly persuasive. It's just one setting's lore for only a single god tangentially connected with Dinosaurs. Not some smoking gun that the Druid subclass is actually connected to Giants somehow.
It was the standard lore in 4E, and it was written by James Wyatt in 4E...who is writing this Giant/Primordial lore with Dinosaurs on the side.

Also note that it is not a merely nominal, locational linkahe: all Dinosaurs in the Forgotten Realms are the creation of a Primordial, that is, linked to the Giant mythos. Giant/Primordial/Dinosaurs supplement, incoiming.

Italy has a really strong culture of the techniques of coffee making. Their cafes are, indeed, cafes.
I've never been there, mostly it's just stories I've heard about from others who have. Definitely a strong coffee culture, but it sounds like a lot of the stories I hear about are hole in the wall coffee shops where you get your shot of coffee and head to work.

You are historically accurate, but the first exposure I had to the word cafe was referencing French and Italian cafes.
And my first exposure was Starbucks when I was a kid. Doesn't mean cafés are American.

Though now that I say that, I wonder if there is a generational difference? As a Milleniel, I don't think Europe when I hear café, because it is just a normal part of everyday life.
