The spatzle top right is interesting! I guess there’s some crossover from Germany

[–] asymmetric@slrpnk.net 25 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yes, it’s called Austria.

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Well then...G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 5 days ago

Or it was until 1918.

South Tyrol is majority German-speaking.

A staple at student kitchens around the globe?

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

We used to call that Pasta Rouge in what just now realize is plain wrong. Should be Pasta Rosso

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah? Where did they come from, OP?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

american invention. there's a lot of argument between whether it was created by thomas jefferson or one of his slaves. hint: it was one of his slaves

No, the earliest recorded recipe is British, but it is a recording of a recipe they had learnt in Italy.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Is your source that you made it the fuck up? The medieval book compares it to lasagne, but there's no evidence the authors went to Italy for this. If you're referring to the so-called first modern recipe, Elizabeth Raffald never went to Italy.

You're calling it sans evidence the result of a Grand Tour, which would've been centuries before its time to be recorded in the late 1300s.

thomas jefferson got the "recipe" from a french description of an italian dish

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

But it must have been cooked by an Italian, right?

Edit:

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

No, but they had been to Italy. Seriously, not a joke. The recipe is recorded as part of something the person had picked up from a grand tour.

It is neither a British nor American invention.

And the macaroni soup with sugar and cinnamon?

[–] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is a god damn crime, what you've written. A crime

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 days ago

If it's any help, I only ever had it at my nonna's and she died of old age some years ago. I've thought about seeing if I could find a recipe, but I also don't want to be banned from Italy and Italian restaurants

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Top tip: don't eat that squid ink pasta while wearing a white blouse. Change into a black top first. It's delicious, but a bastard to wash out.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Is that the spaghetti al nero di seppie?

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

It is. I had it in Venice though, not in the south.

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.org 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

What's the matter with Fettuccine Alfredo?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 6 days ago

Fake Italian food

[–] eutampieri@feddit.it 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

[–] nave@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago
