    Ah yes. The Italians with their culinary repertoire, based on the same 7 ingredients. 😜 🤌🤌

      You mean American Italian. American Italian food is nothing but heavy creams, sauces, and pastas. It’s become a caricature. It’s all the comfort food but on steroids.

      Having been to Italy multiple times I can assure you that pasta is a minority on the menu, and the restaurants that do have pasta-heavy menus cater to tourists or are specialty. The food has a wide variety and is regional, and most certainly isn’t just whatever it is you restrict it to in your stereotype.

        I don’t know much about American Italian. I’m from the Netherlands. 🤷‍♂️ 🇳🇱

        But I can tell you’re passionate about this. I like that. 😌
