>“Too much garlic! Garlic everywhere,” Bellomi exclaims. The 28-year-old, a New York resident for the last two years, has a problem with how Italian food is done in the US. “It makes me want to cry,” she says, entirely seriously.
>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. Drinking a cappuccino at the end of lunch or dinner, or worse still, together with one of those meals is what provokes the most intense reaction from Silvestris (wide eyes, hand gesticulation). 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.
>• You are absolutely never allowed to add cheese to a seafood pasta recipe.
>• You match pasta shapes with specific sauces, and some can never be combined (porcini mushrooms go with pappardelle or tagliatelle, for instance, absolutely not with spaghetti).

Italian grow up getting brainwashed their food is perfect and food traditions are important and they become autistic. It's fucking annoying i assure you. They actually believe their shitty wodoo practices make food better or something.
Lucas Murphy
this, unironically
Kayden Parker
I wasn't being ironic, Italain food culture is cancer.
Carson Jenkins
>• You match pasta shapes with specific sauces, and some can never be combined (porcini mushrooms go with pappardelle or tagliatelle, for instance, absolutely not with spaghetti).
So when you go to restaurants in Italy do you always get the same combinations of sauce/pasta with no variation or innovation whatsoever? Sounds boring desu
Blake Hall
>meat and pasta very rarely make it on to the same plate But what about Bolognese and Milanese?
Andrew Ross
It's only some specific kinds of sauce which go with speicific kinds of pasta and you can ask for a different combination. It is also possible restaurants do innovations themselves, but idon't know, i am poor.
Aiden Davis
Do you love Italy?
Andrew Jenkins
>Milanese ? milanese is a steak what does that have to do with pasta? Also that part is pure autism and we do put meat in sauce, the part which seems accurate of what he is saying is that we don't do mega plates with both pasta and a steak on them for example.
Jordan Russell
What kind of coffee do Italians have in the afternoon and evening?
Jack Parker
As an Italian I agree, we are very autistic
Robert Hernandez
wah lah
Eli Edwards
>milanese is a steak what does that have to do with pasta? Isn't this milanese? >what he is saying is that we don't do mega plates with both pasta and a steak on them for example. Thanks, that clarifies it. We never do it, either.
Austin Cook

Ryder Howard
>no coffee after breakfast Wrong. Italians drink espresso all the fucking time after lunch and dinner, often with grappa. >no meat with pasta This is beyond retarded. Sausages are extremely prevalent in pasta
Who the fuck are these Italians?
Nathan Russell
He brought his own cups and espresso machine to your friend's house?
Jack Wright
It's absolute bullshit, Italians don't even respect their own cuisine. I have seen actual Italians eating Pizza with fries on top in Italy at two different occasions. Also the best selling pizza in Italy comes from Germany and is frozen pizza.
Jason Cox
it sounds like obsessive ritualism, which I've not noticed in Italians before but judging from this guy I wouldn't be surprised if it were an underlying aspect of Italian gastronomy
Ethan Richardson
In my experience they turn their nose up at frozen pizza but yeah potato is an acceptable pizza topping >potato >ham under various names >sausage under various names >anchovies >a few certain types of veg You look at the menu and its a list of every possible combination of each of these select few ingredients
t. Brit lived in Italy for a while
absolutely true
>obsessive ritualism that sounds completely accurate for all sorts of Italian behaviour
Nolan Brown
Is that Mr. Bean?
Connor Thompson
>add cheese to a seafood pasta recipe Whoever does it needs to kill himself, not even joking. >meat and pasta very rarely make it on the same plate False. We just don't mix up two different dishes cause two stray dogs in a Disney movie told us to.

its funny. i live with an italian guy who eats lots of garbage tier italian food here (frozen pizzas) and doesn't ever autistically rant about how food is better in italy.
Lucas Miller
>you cant do this and you cant do that I thought that italian cuisine is all about home cooking and grandma's recipes, why the fuck it is so restrictive
Colton Morgan
No idea what that is.
Austin Sanchez
looks like some kind of pasta al ragù but surely we don't have a pasta called milanesa, we do have a fried steak called "cotoletta alla milanese"
Dominic Williams
I'm afraid it's spaghetti with pieces of very fried cotoletta
Zachary Campbell
Fuck off with your astroturfing to divide the European peoples
Jaxon Anderson

They can do whatever they want, but when you chirp out if someone makes something else it becomes a problem. (not when someone feeds you something else, if they just do it for themselves)
Mason Hall

looks like some short of ragu with bread crumbs or maybe the cheese there is just like that idk, the pasta seems overcooked

Romanians are the true heirs to the Roman empire, that's why they love garlic on everything and you don't.
Samuel Peterson
Spaghetti with a minced meat sauce.
Hudson Gray
don't you stranieri call that bolognese?
Lincoln Gomez
They don't seem to grasp that most Italian culinary traditions were born out of poverty and necessity, or that the kinds of dishes eaten haven't evolved over time. The stuff they ate in 1800 was not what's eaten in modern day Italy.
Ryder James
What we call bolognese also has tomato sauce. This is more often called "manistra usuvo" - dry pasta - in my dialect. What are they actually called?
Andrew Barnes
Cant wait to order pasta carbonare (the british one, the real one) with ham and some added meatballs, maybe some tuna and cheese there too. Make sure its many different kinds of pasta mixed together, and a capuccino to go with it. At dinner time.
Julian Cooper
But the pasta is red? Why is it red if it has no sauce?Pasta with sauce and meat is ragù. (people wilol understand you if you say bolognese, but i suspect it came in italian language from bad translation in movies, just a theory, it is possible people always called it bolognese here too). Pasta with meat without sauce i don't think has a name.
Jackson Kelly
It's probably from V*netian """""cuisine""""" so it's name must be something like "mona e diocan"
Joshua Adams
Wht's brit carb like precisely?

If you want the cook to come out of the kitchen and furiously rape your boipucci right there in the dining room, you just have to ask nicely

>You match pasta shapes with specific sauces, and some can never be combined (porcini mushrooms go with pappardelle or tagliatelle, for instance, absolutely not with spaghetti). Sounds like OCD.
Evan Gonzalez
Italian gets real for a minute and americans collectively lose their shit
I love it.
Henry Allen
It doesn't look red to me. Anyway, that's what you'll get if you ask for milanese here. There is another kind of dry pasta that used to be eaten by poor people. It's not really made anymore. It was basically just pasta with bread crumbs. It's a dish from my grandmother's youth. I see, thank you.
Adrian Roberts
People do eat pasta without sauce, typically with oil. But it actually looks yellow when we make it.
Jackson Morales
Italy hasn't been relevant in decades so they constantly bring up their centuries old glory because it's all they have to show.
Nathaniel Green
Pasta with a bit of oil and breadcrumbs has always been the dish to eat when you're sick and want to be gentle to your stomach, at least in my family (upper adriatico)
Samuel Jackson
>One Italian raged: "Nigella you are a wonderful woman but your recipes are the DEATH of Italian recipes,literally!NO CREAM IN CARBONARA NEVER,only eggs."

No, that's a "Bismarck pizza"

Why cream and eggs? I might try it, but that doesn't sound like it would add much.

Btw what are supposed to mean ''pizziola'' and ''pepperoni'' ? These words doesn't make any sense at all.
Josiah Fisher
When you will understand that eggs in Carbonara are broken and mixed with other ingredients to ''creamyze'' the taste and absolutely aren't entire or some kind of topping?
Mason Carter
They are missing an Italian Escoffier to reform their cuisine desu
Jace Kelly
Keep deluding yourself into thinking that Italy is still the same cultural tour de force it used to be when your people are some of the least educated in Europe and every aspect of your culture is from hundreds of years ago. Even your high end cultural exports live on that lost glory, because they're all considered overpriced and overly flashy by their respective enthusiasts nowadays.
