This reminds me of this video that shows how Italian food is a recent invention https://youtu.be/iZZfwyKa0Lc
A lot of “traditional” national foods are like that, especially if you consider pre-columbian food traditions. If you just limit it to chocolate, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, potatoes, and beans, none of which were used or available in Europe until after importation, you see that it gets murky pretty quickly. Funny how we associate potatoes with Ireland, tomatoes with Italy, and chocolate with Switzerland when they’re actually all indigenous American foods.
What are some actual European foods that people ate hundreds of years before that?
From what I can find, there was a lot of barley, wheat, rye. Meat and fish. Peas, cabbage, apples, pears, grapes, honey, legumes, herbs, cheese.
Recipes turn out to be a lot of bread with cheese, meat or stews, with wine or beer. And also things like pancakes and other baked goods.
Ah. Good. Now we can calculate the optimal amount of ketchup to pour over them. I also like them uncooked on pineapple pizza. Yummy.
The first part of this made me think you’re making a joke about being tasteless, then you said the pineapple pizza part and given that pineapple on pizza is just plain wrong, you might be serious
pineapple on pizza is just plain wrong
I’m sorry you grew up uncultured :(
Of course they are serious. Ketchup is the best pasta sauce hands down.
It can even be used as a replacement for tomato sauce on pizza, just so damn multifunctional.
But I agree, pineapple on pizza is wrong, that is why I prefer kiwi and banana on there instead. The taste is incredible!
Hey…I know some of those words! Not all of them…but some!
I picture the security guard at the building there dealing with this one guy who loves tagliatelle but is a total tagliatelle snob, and he keeps ordering it when he goes out but then he comes to rhe Palazzo and he’s obsessed, wants to check every noodle against the gold standard, thinks he’s being gang stalked, knows the Palazzo asked him not to return but he keeps coming back.
Is that the skin you unlock if you made 1 million tagliatelle?
