[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny how some posters make generalizations on how Italians eat based on a sample size of the dozen they personally know. Different Italians eat different things and have different ideas of what a "proper" meal is.

OP, your guest was rude for saying out loud what everyone else would be thinking. Your being Italian has nothing to do with this, [b]just buttered pasta is kind of a weird kids meal for most people.[/b] Next time this situation occurs cut up some apples and carrot sticks to make it look like a "proper" kids meal. Now, try to move on.[/quote]

WTF are you even talking about? Have you ever set foot outside your house?

“Just buttered pasta” is on the kids’ menu at almost EVERY restaurant in the United States.[/quote]
I just checked these kid's menus:

Olive Garden: Pasta with Alfredo or Marinara sauce, Mac and Cheese - no buttered pasta
Chili's: Pasta with Cheesy Chicken and Mac and Cheese - no buttered pasta
Applebee's: Pasta with Chicken Alfredo and Mac and Cheese - no buttered pasta

Buttered pasta is on the kid's menu at Cheesecake Factory and Noodles & Company. But certainly not "almost every" or even most restaurants in the US.

Sure, you could request no alfredo sauce, but buttered pasta isn't on the kid's menu.[/quote]

You checked 5 restaurants. Yeah, I forgot there are only 5 restaurants in the US. [/quote]

Also the 3 that don’t have it are restaurants that I don’t know anybody who goes to. In fact, I haven’t been to any of those 3 in the last 20 years at least. [/quote]

I don't think that you go out to eat, depression-era mommy!! [/quote]

Yeah all the cool kids are definitely going to applebees, chilis and olive garden. i’m 43-these restaurants were cool when I was like 10. The only people I know still going there are like 80.[/quote]
