Italian food is overrated



By Italians at least.

 

[WellPlayed]

All this french vs italian is cute and all, but food was pretty much perfected with southern bbq so who cares really.

Yaya ya and the chinks made noodles.

But perfection is perfection.

not cool

Reads the same to me.

Northern Italian food isn't real italian food.

Let me guess....you get scared anytime 75% of your dish isn't covered with tomatoes. It's ok to admit it. Baby steps.

Northern Italian food isn't real italian food.

So... prosciutto, parmigiano, aceto balsamico, basil pesto and ragu a la bolognese are not Italian.

 

[Preston]

Italians are the least cultured people ever. They won't even eat shit outside of their own regional dishes, even if it's still based in Italy. The type of people that are horrified by putting a typically Asian ingredient in their food that does nothing but intensify flavors that are already there. Ridiculous people.

Fuck you zeke.

It must be said, the first time I had a proper spaghetti a la puttanesca...

**** you zeke.

Maybe just tribal? I remember seeing an article about villages in a near state of civil war because of disagreement over the right kind of cured pork to put in pasta amitriciana.

Yeah. I don't know what it is tbh. I say this as someone who grew up in a small town in Italy.. They're all fucking weird with their food. Pickiest bunch of bitches I've ever seen.

Nah tommies are a condiment.

I love food from all over.

But italian is italian.

They don't have the most adventurous palates, to say the least. If your nonna's mama didn't eat it, it's considered crap.

Ah you got me Parma is the shit.

 

[zeke]

And Pesto is divine. Better than tomato sauce really.

Its really the bolognese that sets me off.

Stuffing a shitload of carrots and celery into the sauce will never not be mangiacake to me.

baby back bitches. the lot of them.

I love how comforting Italian food is since I grew up with it but objectively speaking I recognize it's probably just outside my top 3 cuisines. And that's probably being overly generous thanks to my own biases. They sure do act like the only food on earth worth eating is the food that their nonna made though.

 

[zeke]

Stop hating yourself.

 

[zeke]

my nonna was a shit cook btw.

Though her super sweet ravioli were tasty.

Italian is my #1. Japanese #2 (though the whole pickled fish thing for breakfast is a big weak spot). Thai is my #3.
