I grew up north of the toxic belt, and it's my firm opinion that Italian food is overrated. Well, except Parmesan, I'll give them that.

Lasagna is like a moussaka with too much tomato sauce and layers of pasta that should've been skipped.

Anyone who downvotes this is either Italian, or has a fetish for mashed tomatoes.

Wow this is the most triggering post I've seen in a while and that's saying a lot in these times

I mean, it may not be the best, but this puts portugal in a very bad position when we are all mediterranean with mostly the same ingredients.

okay but north africa food?

According to this map I should probably be dead.

What about fat spicy indian curry tho?

About "fattening": yes, pasta is.

Man y'all have clearly never eaten in Lyon...

This tracks, every Italian I've ever met has been a complete snob about food.

I second this map.
