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.

There was a sequel to this comic, iirc about putting ketchup in pizza

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.

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.
Zidane@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 213d
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.

They all slip from the fork. There's no established pasta in the ideal form of short spaghetti.

If they slip from the fork, you are over cooking the pasta and drowning it in sauce, which is the definition of shitty American pasta dishes.

If they aren"t easy to eat, i make them easy to eat. And i like sauce, your opinion be damned.
