‘Traitor to the fatherland’
Hey everyone! In case you haven’t noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.
If you like the idea, we need help! Check out the pinned post on the community.
I’ve had several old Italian ladies give me cooking lessons. It was amusing seeing the split. I’d say 50% were like the comic, it’s tradition, gotta do exactly as done. The other 50% went with it’s food, as long as it’s nourishing and brings people together you’re doing it right, do it how you want.
The funny thing, most of those recipes were only solidified in the 1950s.
And most not older than a few generations. But of course, great-grandma knew better what i should eat, despite her vastly different circumstances, how dare you.
Hell yeah I always break my spaghetti in half and I will never apologize for doing so
Then why buy spaghetti in the first place? Just buy smaller pasta.
They all slip from the fork. There’s no established pasta in the ideal form of short spaghetti.
Because breaking it makes zero difference to my mouth and it taste good
But it does make it harder to wind on a fork. Just break it on quarters and use a spoon.
There was a sequel to this comic, iirc about putting ketchup in pizza
WHAT?!
I’m probably a worse “traitor” in that I’m of Italian descent and yet I’m really not a fan of pasta lol
I’ll eat it if it’s the only thing being served, but I had soooooooooo much as a kid, since we were poor, that I’m kinda over pasta.
I had many years where I wouldn’t ever make pasta for myself because I just had so much as a kid. I’m slowly getting back to being able to enjoy it instead of just tolerating it.
