I like it how the map essentially says "we cannot find anything proper to complain about Italy."

“We stole half our flavor profiles from them and refuse to admit it, so we pretend like anything we stole is actually just common knowledge.”

We improved them. One of Italy's most famous dishes, carbonara pasta, has a French version that is way better.

I looked it up and it's spicy carbonara. I should try this.

There are massive leaps to be made by combining French techniques with foreign ingredients, it just requires accepting that maybe other places also have good food, perhaps even better food in some cases.

The Italians embraced them much sooner and did a lot more with them. The French were too worried they were poisonous because they were nightshades and only slowly adopted them with the advent of tomato exports from Italy and Spain.
