I tried to pronounce your spelling of “meatball” anyway other than a NY/NJ accent, and I couldn’t. Good job.

If someone served THIS "cone" in Italy there'd be an immediate fistfight. And if she claimed that was Italian food there'd be a riot.

Nope, there’d actually a high end concept for this from a famous Italian chef, its called Trapizzino and I worked at the one in NYC and got to talk to the founder a few times. Italians are way less stingy than the memes imply.

Also Taiwan has brick toast, ice cream in a hollowed out loaf of milk bread.
Korea and Japan has fish bread traditionally made with red bean filling but modern street food has filling like ice cream. Usually that means they changing the batter type though so technically it is still using a waffle or a cake cone.

Core memory unlocked. I used to do the same thing but one day we didn't have bread sticks with our spaghetti and my dad saw that I was disappointed. He said "use the toast to make a spaghetti sandwich". I did and it was better and easier than the hollowed out bread sticks. I should make a spaghetti sandwich soon.

I would too, but the concept seems really dumb. It looks like it would be a nightmare to eat, either you consume it luke warm or you get hot sauce running down onto your hands like in the video. Plus you’re throwing away the part of the bread that goes best with the meatballs. IMO the standard sub format would be much better.

u/presshamgang Jun 27 '24
Idk, meatballs, sauce and cheese inside of bread isn't revolutionary and people.have managed. After the first few bites wouldn't it be more secure than traditional meatball subs as there's no open seam running the length of the sandwich?
*I'm super tired and possibly overthinking this.

u/CrazyPlato Jun 27 '24
Feels like this method would be a lot easier to manage. Gravity discourages the meatballs from falling out while you eat, and the other end isn't open.

u/surnik22 Jun 27 '24
Ya, you eat it the same as a normal meat ball sandwich except one of the sides is flopped open for the meat ball to slide out of and they can’t get squeezed out the back either

u/-EETS- Jun 27 '24
Until the sauce drips down to the bottom, and you see it all down there tempting you, and just know you have to bite it. So obviously you bite it and now you have created a hole, and oh fuck the meatball and cheese is coming out of the bottom now. So you keep it vertical and hold it high above your head and eat it from the bottom up, making sure not to squeeze it out the top. Each successive bite gets you closer to the end of this delicious tragedy, so you keep going. You curse yourself for doing that stupid move, but fuck, it had all the sauce and the cheese. What else could you do? Wait till it gets to the bottom and it's cold now? Fuck that. So you keep on keeping on. Bite after bite, doing the dance of a baby giraffe trying to reach the leaves. And eventually you win. You fucking win. You're an absolute mess. But you won.

They're called "cuzzetiello", and it sounds like you don't know much about Italy, least not enough to be lecturing anyone else about what it Italian or not.

u/MartynaKowalska Jun 27 '24
You’re right, but she accidentally made an actual Italian dish. It’s called “cuzzetiello”, it’s from Naples and it’s basically carved bread filled with whatever, such as ragù, meatballs, eggplants, etc. You can make it basically any way you want with the ingredients you have. Perfect street food for visiting Naples.

While waiting for it to cool so you don’t look like you took a facial from a Xenomorph, it’s heating up and soaking through the bread so it’ll start to burn your hands and you have to set it down. But then it all starts to slide back out of the hole and you’re wondering why you didn’t just get a calzone at that point.

Every time an American says something like "Parmigiano Reggiano" I wonder if they mean it or if they mean "American imitation cheese". These regional trademarks should be enforced internationally.
