    Italians demand our respect for their culinary traditions when Carbonara is literally a 19th 20th century invention. Ridiculous! Next time I’m having pasta, I’m putting ketchup on it to intentionally dishonor them

      20th, not 19th. The first mention of the dish by that name is from just after WWII.

      Give it some fancy name and call it a new dish.

      Something like “Maccaronara al Heinzorino”

        That’s the thing, of it’s a new recipe with a new name it’s not sacrilege. It’s like those “Spanish omelette” or paellas I see on the net. If you want to fuck around with omelettes do it but don’t put our name on it, if you want to play around with rice feel free but don’t call it paella!

        Next time I see an omelette with fish being called Spanish omelette imma throw hands. We do have a variation with fish but it’s a different dish!

          I have some terrible news for you.

          People will continue to do that. It happens all over the world, one group calling something they’ve invented a “Spanish” this or “American” that.

          I’ve seen “American Pizza” served in Japan with hot dogs and corn and a bbq sauce. I’ve seen “Korean beef” as basically a spicy alternative to Mongolian beef. None of these dishes originate in the country they’re named for, and the people from those countries would probably recoil at the thought of all of them.

          It’s just a thing people do, have always done, and will continue to do.

    At least he didn’t suggest that health insurance should use a deny, delay, and defend strategy for insurance claim payments

    Italians and food are the worst. Let people enjoy what they want and stop acting like you’re top shit.

      You can enjoy what you want, just don’t name it as something already stablished. Of ypu say you are doing a beef BBQ and suddenly you bring chicken saying “yeah we do beef with chicken in this house” is as stupid as someone adding extra ingredients into a dish and not changing the name.

        Dishes evolve, the name stays.

        It’s not NoCheeseanara but you’ve put cheese in it, so your analogy is bad. If you said you were going to do a bbq and bought chicken Instead of beef that would be fine.

      Cream or better crème fraîche makes a very good sauce when you melt it onto the carbonara IMO.

    “Ppff my pasta trick, walmart can section 346-aisle 96-shelf 215b between shampoo and dog food, is great! I love the taste of asbestos and lead with poorly mixed ingredients i found at the last moment in the garden.”

    Ah yes. The Italians with their culinary repertoire, based on the same 7 ingredients. 😜 🤌🤌
