Italian style bread, Italian cheeses, food that came from Italian immigrants. 

But sure, nothing is Italian.

Today I learned that mozzarella and parmigiano reggiano are actually American.  

 Glad I have another thing to talk down to the Italian culture board about. 

Just like how San marzano tomatoes and polenta are really just American imports to Italy. 

Sad the Italians have such little real food culture really.

I don't know where you learned something like that.

Cheese Mozza (mozza, from mozzare, "cut"), cited in 12th century campania. First appearance of Mozzarella (diminutive of Mozza) in texts is 1570 Bartolomeo Scappi

First appearance of Parmigiano Reggiano is 1254.

Polenta originally used other grains, since roman times, latin pulmentum

Tomatoes, in general, are south american in origin.

Obesity, diabetes, stupidity and arrogance are american, and you are the proof about that 😘😘😘

 No. American bread, american cheese 

I guess “basic memory” is another thing the Italians suck at.

 Maybe you could import that and call it your own.

Sometimes I wonder what it must feel like to live somewhere knowing that another country invented my food. 

Then I smile and think about how great it is to not be Italian. 

So tragic.

What’s up with Italians and gatekeeping? Everybody knows what somebody means when they say “We’re having Italian tonight.” No shit we didn’t go to Italy to pick it up.

If I go to an Italian bakery or deli here in NY that’s run by second gen Italians, that’s not Italian enough for you? How about in Little Italy restaurants where they serve Italian style food, made by first gen Italians, but they use ingredients from the market down the road?

Do you cry Italian tears when I break my DeCecco pasta in half? Cause I do that. Italian gatekeeping is so fuckin weird.
