Which side is "traditional"??

[-] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

This will get you prison time in Italy.

Pizza was invented by Italian Americans and the cooped by Italians afterward to increase tourism.

Reading the linked article, that guy’s claims are not widely accepted. As they should not be - the idea that nobody put meats and sauces on flatbread until the 1950s or whatever is completely absurd. For one, archaeologists found a pizza-like dish in the ruins of Pompeii.

[-] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Meat and sauces on flatbread are not what makes a pizza.

Several food historians agree with him. People that don't agree with him are regular Italians.

Italians never invented pasta or dried pasta either.

Modern pasta was invented in Sicily after the Arab conquest. They brought noodles from China and showed them the method of drying the noodles. Sicily would later become the Kingdom of Sicily in 1130 and pasta would first be developed with wheat there in 1154.

“His remarks were met with a significant amount of criticism and protests by historians, politicians, the Italian media, Italian chefs, food critics, as well as food professionals.”

I believe these claims as much as I believe that the someone named Ignacio in the 50s was the first person ever to put meat and cheese on topped of chopped up fried tostadas.

The pasta thing, fine. I've heard of the origin as China as well. So Italians started making pasta 900 years ago. That's way more believable than that any really obvious food was created 60 years ago.

Okay, what is it you think constitutes a pizza? The article you lined mentions 'the sauce', though that seems far-fetched that nobody had put tomato sauce and cheese on flatbread before. That isn't mandatory for pizza, though. White sauces and garlic sauces are also often used to make a pizza.

You are aware that the tomato is a fairly recent import to Europe, right?

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, I am aware that they came from North America. It was in the mid-1500s, which I consider quite a while ago, and prior to that, they made olive oil or cream based sauces.

[-] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It took Italy 300 years to make a tomato sauce to pair with pasta.

There is no historical evidence of pizza in Italy until after it was created in the US.

Has someone sent you feet pics yet?

[-] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Unexpectedly, yes.

Boneless pizza for me please

I'm not sure which I hate more, the whole chicken or the green olive.

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Isn't/wasn't there a chocolate and m&m pizza as a type of Lunchable? I could swear I remember them from middle school.

I was right and this is just a giant, adult version of standard educational fare nobody would bat an eye at. What the fuck are we doing.

That's either a giant olive or a grape, btw, and either one of those is not acceptable.

You identify as a rich and out of touch weirdo who likes to think of himself as doing good but in reality is psychopathic enough to see loss of human life as barely more than an inconvenience?

[-] Ad4mWayn3@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Billionaires are assholes, even in fiction.

😱

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I like the fan fiction that Charlie is actually Wilford in the show Snow Piercer. I haven't seen the show, but reading the fan theory is awesome. I think the gist is Charlie uses his factory money to build the train scheme and changes is name to Wilford as homage to Willy.

[-] kookaburra34@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Only in America is a whole chicken on pizza considered normal.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Don't blame us for this cursed shit. This dude is just fucked in the head.

[-] BOB_DROP_TABLES@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

lol, no. This type of cursed pizza could easily be in Brazil. No country's food is safe here. Not that it's normal here, but I've seen plenty of weird pizzas

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It’s not even remotely normal to do that in the US. On top of a Bloody Mary though, sure.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

At this point we just invent fucked up shit to troll Europeans.
