[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most cultures would be annoyed if you vulgarize their dishes, and particularly if you mistreat the ingredients, though I agree that the Italians are prouder than most.

If, for example, you put coke in a single malt, or mustard with jamon bellota, or curry inside a pierogi, the natives of these countries would have something to say. And ask Chinese-born people what they make of Chinese-American cuisine. [/quote]
Sure. But, wasn't it Italian immigrants that were doing all these thing once they left? Here, in Argentina, etc...[/quote]

As with England, it wasn't the best people who left. It was mostly the poor, the uneducated, and the criminal.[/quote]

Omg. Right, most were criminals. Good Lord. Educate yourself, so that you don't continue to conflate poor and uneducated with mafioso. You in fact sound quite uneducated. Immigrants were often from rural, poorer areas of Italy, yes. As were many Immigrants from other countries. No, most Italians do not have criminal ties and I cannot believe I have to say this in 2021. [/quote]

+1 Yes, PP is sounding so ignorant. Almost all of the Italian immigrants arriving in the late 1800's/early 1900's were dirt poor people. Their children and grandchildren became doctors, lawyers, professionals, thanks to the labors of their parents who immigrated for a better life.
