[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the comments on every single Tasty video ever and you will see millions of “That’s not authentic!” for every type of cuisine. This is certainly not specific to Italians. Everyone thinks their way is the only way. I think it’s sad as hell that people can’t even try other versions. Things change over time and distance. Doesn’t make it bad. FWIW, I’m 2nd gen Italian American and love me some bastardized Italian American food.[/quote] I agree. Second-Gen Polish American. It is so silly. I found some 100 year old stuffed cabbage recipes that were nothing like what people call authentic today. Any recipe with tomatoes ... ha! They were expensive and not readily available in plenty of parts of Europe even in my grandmother’s childhood. Not sure when tomato based sauces became a staple of southern Italian fare, but I imagine it was probably less than 400-500 years ago when they were exported from the Americas.[/quote]
