[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you been to Italy?  If you know anyone born and raised generations back in Italy, they do not serve pasta, they serve other more intricate dishes - and they make it look easy.  Definitely not the same old thing over and over again, like here. I think the idea that Italians eat pasta and pizza is purely American. In fact, if you go to the high tourist areas, they will serve pizza and pasta for the American tourists. The English or Scandanavian/Swedes I know can not cook for anything.  [/quote]
Yes, dear, we know. However, the culture that immigrated over 100 or 150 years ago and then evolved within the US is not what continued to evolve there. I had some German visitors for supper once and they all but guffawed at the way we viewed our version of German cuisine vs. actual German cuisine now.

Also you sound a little like OP with your last sentence. Eesh. I would be embarrassed to sound so bigoted.[/quote]

Why would you serve German visitors "German" food?[/quote]
