[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s with the anti-American food poster today. This is the second thread they’ve started. [/quote] If this is the fake Bolognese poster, Americans do serve pasta as a main dish, while traditionally, it's primo, not secondo. So while the Bolognese being described is clearly just red sauce with meat in it, it actually could be correctly described as an entree by this poster.[/quote] I mean the reality is we also just don't commonly sit down for multicourse dinners. It's not Downton Abbey. So the words used to describe such meals and the rules about them fell out of fashion. Going to those fancy restaurants where you're supposed to order a pasta and then a meat dish, it's just too much food. Maybe the portions are way up (probably this is true) but it's just not how people rat anymore.[/quote]
