Italy and France are the worst. They LOVE their protectionists pretentious screeching about how you're enjoying life wrong.

Japan was very cool with the hybrid food and traditions.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Japan loves to make hybrid food and I love seeing them!

Because of the fact that immigrants from Naples, the city state, came to the US in the mid to late 1800s, it is entirely probable that American Pizza predates the country of Italy.

It does, the modern Italian Republic was created after WW2 from the territory of the Kingdom of Italy.

[-] theolodis@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

But the Kingdom of Italy was also the country of Italy?

I think Japanese would be mildly amused and try it. Mac and cheese is certainly at least somewhat known here and I don't think most would even consider that sushi; just weird, room-temp cheesey macaroni salad wrapped in seaweed.

[-] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

This seems like something you'd find in Hawaii

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Spam musubi is one thing.

Putting this on the same level as spam musubi is an insult to spam musubi.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

When I was in Hawaii I went to a "barbecue" place that served general tso's chicken with a side of green beans, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes. There was no pork or barbecue sauce.

[-] delcaran@feddit.it 16 points 2 months ago

I'm Italian and I would try this. Also, fudge those "purists" of Italian food: every family has it's own recipe for everything different from their neighbors', there's no or little historical documents about dishes still served and most "based" Italian food was invented by Italian emigrants coming back home with inspiration from where they were.

Cuisine is mixing and experimenting, tradition is the death of good food.

You're allowed to use bad words on the Internet

[-] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 2 points 2 months ago

GOSH HECKIE

[-] delcaran@feddit.it 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks! I'm using too many of those IRL, plus I couldn't miss the opportunity to use "fudge" in a culinary context 😁

[-] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

My Italian coworker at my old job was a big fan of pineapple on pizza. The ones who screech the loudest about people "doing it wrong" are normally a minority and suffer from insecurity and lack of knowledge.

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I hate this food gatekeeping.

This is REAL food, enjoyed by REAL food enjoyers:

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 2 months ago

I want them all

[-] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

That spam pizza has to be from okinawa 😂

Also, no kitkat pizza? :O

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 13 points 2 months ago

Wait. Italians claim Mac and cheese?

I always thought it was an American thing. Because Americans love pouring cheese over everything.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

No, the part about Thomas Jefferson is accurate, but his chef thought it was a take on French cuisine. Turns out it's descended from English casseroles.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The chef was also his half-brother in-law, and the brother of Tommy's teenage mistress

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Thomas Jefferson was obsessed with Macaroni, and created the dish that modern day mac and cheese is based on. He served it at a ton of White House dinners. He also was the person responsible for shipping macaroni extruding machines from Italy to the US while he was a diplomat over there.

[-] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I think pasta is the victim here which still doesn't really track perfectly but it's a start lol

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

Pasta comes from China. Fuck what Italy thinks about it.

[-] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm well aware but its at least closer than mac n cheese

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

i think it originally comes from Scotland.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Fun fact: Canadians actually eat 55% more boxes of Kraft dinner (mac & cheese) per capita than US. We love that shit for some reason (well, I know why actually it's cause it's delicious).

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 2 months ago

I mean... I've actually seen this exact thing served as street food in Japan, so I don't think they are that upset about it.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Italians: Macaroni? Never meet the guy.

French: Non, c'est pas nous. And, ah, stop suggesting it iz oos.

English: Mate, cheddar 'n' butter mixed into pasta's onna da finest fings we ever doone. This is our proudest moment :''3

Japanese: Accurate.

[-] Klear@quokk.au 7 points 2 months ago

I thought the japanese dude was a dog.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Put it in a tortilla instead and you might be onto something

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

No

Add a tortilla wrap

[-] Gonzako@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Mac'n'sushi

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Ah, a fusion restaurant

[-] pewpew@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago

At least the pasta looks cooked...?

[-] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

That’s what good pushi looks like.

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Pasta la vista, baby.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Okay but as a stoned mexican, that shit is looking real good about now

Seriously, why is one of the things that makes Canadians go "CANADA FUCK YEAAAA" the processed, prepackaged version of a British-invented, American-associated dish, that isn't legally allowed to be called what it's supposed to be in Canada?

[-] Martyy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
[-] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Mett ontop would save them.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago

Three I'm American and this makes me want to vomit up everything I've ever eaten in my entire lifetime in one huge gigabarf.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Throw some beans on top and get 3.
