>Garlic, you see, is not quite the staple of Italian cuisine Americans think it is. Depending on who you speak to, onions are a controversial ingredient too – and don’t even think of ever combining the two in a single dish.

>Giacomo Silvestris, a 39-year-old director of operations for Italian CAI foods in New York, says that the way in which non-Italians drink cappuccino makes him faint. Drinking one at any other moment of the day apart from breakfast-time is unacceptable, he says.

>Waiters at bars in cities across Italy have been known to refuse to serve tourists asking for the mistimed beverages. You can order one before noon, or simply forget it.

>It is not just poultry and pasta that are not allowed to mix – meat and pasta very rarely make it on to the same plate. Pasta is one course (primo) and meat is another, fully separate course (secondo).

>“Except for in one particular region of the south [of Italy], where they put very small meatballs in their tomato sauce, we would never put meatballs in pasta. Who has ever heard of spaghetti meatballs?!” Silvestris exclaims.

do they mention that you're not supposed to put sausage on pizza like as though you were some sort of Bavarian peasant?

Always did feel wrong to eat pasta with meat, the flavours never felt like they went together and tasted weird

Italian-Americans blown the fuck out

Not Italian [obviously], but.

I think it gets easier to understand if you consider "Italian Americans" are a third cultural group, distinct from "Anglo Americans" and "Italians". Their origin might be related to a certain European peninsula but, after emigration, they had more than enough time to diverge from their original Sicilian and Neapolitan cultures.

(And the terroni also evolved in the meantime. Culture isn't static.)

why is such blatant racism tolerated in America?

People should be calling out his bullshit, sure. But it's a good thing he's allowed to bark such inane comments (free speech is THAT important, even for faggots like him).

Weird. It doesn't feel wrong for me at all. [Unlike fish+bread like you guys do.]

Shitaly stole pizza, pasta, and spaghetti from China. Shitaly has no food culture.

Why is cultural appropriation viewed as a bad thing? It's like looking at a different culture, seeing something people love and saying "we shouldn't be allowed to enjoy this because we don't belong to their tribe". It's straight up niggardly to refrain from exploiting the best different cultures have developed in order to better your own society. Why wall yourself off? It's just dumb.

Thank fuck they ripped off the Chinese, because it allowed the Americans to rip it off and produce a fantastic form of fast food, if nothing else.

>cappuccino
Coffee itself is from somewhere like Yemen or Ethiopia. The specific preparation (Kapuziner) is Austro-Hungarian, probably from Vienna.

>wine, cheese
Both are from millennia before the common age, so I'm not even sure if we can claim a place of origin for them.

It's mostly a matter of personal taste, I guess.
