ooooooh so the shitty food comes from being a settler
White culture is subjugating the world for its spices and then still making the most shit food you've ever seen.
Australia is deeply evil for many reasons, but I’m very glad that somehow we fucked up our food less than the other Anglos, by assimilating foods wholesale from other cultures (Italians in particular).
Hot take: Italian food is shit and derivative
Like yeah you can put a billion tons of garlic and cheese on anything and say its Italian
People get really fucking goofy about Italian food.
Like oh, this cuisine unlike any other is based on having fresh and high quality ingredients?
Sorry, British food also gets better if you have top quality ingredients and spend endless hours making sauce or stock for them.
They're very serious about "authenticity" but much of it was invented post-WW2. It's an intentional national cultural project more than some ancient tradition.
Genuinely absurd fascist shit going on with that, like you have random bumfuck towns issuing public denouncements about how a michelin star chef broke the papal edicts by placing a single mildly smashed clove of garlic in his recipe for a tomato sauce named after bumfuck lombardy.
And in their denouncement they cite that their special tomato sauce has over 1000 years of unbroken tradition and history, and adding garlic is spitting on that.
Adding tomatoes like over half the way through those 1000 years does not count however.
Now thats a spicy meataball
Take this with a huge grain of salt, but I read that Italians only claimed pasta as a national dish because Mussolini pushed it- some kind of effort towards a national identity.
Marinetti insisted that pasta induced "lassitude, pessimism, nostalgic inactivity and neutralism" in the Italian people, and he and Mussolini were pretty tight. There's also a quote attributed to Mussolini: "A nation of spaghetti-eaters cannot restore Roman civilization." The material reason seems to be that Italy had to import huge amounts of wheat for pasta, at odds with the nationalist/"self-sufficient" character of the fascist ideology.
(but really though I can't believe people are shitting on bada-bing food)
Fair but we've also been stealing from Greek, Lebanese, Vietnam food etc
You can also put a billion tons of garlic and cheese on anything and it will be delicious so I'm gonna have to hand it to the Italians here
