I wonder what Italians think about our (Hungarian) fake Italian food called Milánói Sertésborda, or Milanese Pork Ribs. It consists of Milánói/Milanese sauce made with tomato sauce, garlic, black pepper, oregano, basil (if you're not an imbecile trying to mimic Michelin chefs by only using little or no seasoning), and thyme (also often left out by the former group), pork belly, and either bacon or smoked ham; macaroni (the long kind); and pork snitzel (which most Hungarians think is a Hungarian food).

This is Funny if you think about it because Modern Pizza originates from the USA and Pasta from China

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

I'm Dutch and I think this map is completely unfair. It overrates our food significantly

As someone who's lived Italy, this does sound like something an Italian would say lmao

Tbh I find Italian culinary traditions underwhelming. Like they just gave up 10 minutes in, no work at all because it's too hot.

To be fair, the further from coastline, the better the Italian cuisine - more herbs, more variety, more complex recipes (e.g Ligurian braised rabbit)

Agreed, Bosnian and Croatian food are the only proper food :3

According to this map I should probably be dead.

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

u wot m8?

We've got Greggs Sausage Rolls.

All you've got is pasta and tomato sauce for every meal, and think different shaped pasta makes it a different dish!

That's like thinking beans on toast is different if you put it on different shaped bread.

I'm a little disappointed that the center is a knife and fork instead of a hand pinching fingers together to make a point

I knew an Italian exchange student that kept whining that nothing tasted good and nothing tasted as it should up here in Scandinavia. Then another exchange student (from Thailand I think) got tired of him and told him ~"the rest of the world isn't your mother" and it was a literal moment of realisation for this dude.

I wholeheartedly support culinarily disrespecting Italians, honestly.

Dudes trying to convince us that they are presenting ancient traditions when their precious dishes are invented in like the 60s

I feel like France, Greece, and Spain are gonna have some pretty strong objections.

RIP Portugal
