And macaroni al ketchup?
The WHAT?
A staple at student kitchens around the globe?
We used to call that Pasta Rouge in what just now realize is plain wrong. Should be Pasta Rosso
Yeah? Where did they come from, OP?
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.
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.
Were they Italian?
thomas jefferson got the "recipe" from a french description of an italian dish
But it must have been cooked by an Italian, right?
Edit:
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?
This is a god damn crime, what you've written. A crime
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
The spatzle top right is interesting! I guess there’s some crossover from Germany
Yes, it’s called Austria.
Well then...G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie.
Or it was until 1918.
South Tyrol is majority German-speaking.
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.
Is that the spaghetti al nero di seppie?
It is. I had it in Venice though, not in the south.
Yes
What's the matter with Fettuccine Alfredo?
Fake Italian food
They don’t exists in Italy
But Wikipedia says it was invented in Rome?
You shut your pasta hole
Bucatini is the devil
Where is bow ties?
No cjarsons in Friuli? Come on
Mouth watering…
Good. Where recipe?
Shutout to spaghetti al'assassina in Bari too
Oh good, they still have real food in South Tyrol.
I fuckign love pasta so much omg
