[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should follow the twitter account Italians Mad at Food.  It's gold.

Honestly, the french are similar.  And a lot of industries have tried to copy and market Italian products but are of lower quality (olive oil, tomatoes, vinegar).

Did you watch Stanley Tucci's Italy series?  Italian people are passionate about their food - it's their livelihood, their traditions, and they are damn good at it, too.

I am 3rd gen Italian and I still have impressions of my great grandparents & grandparents and the traditions we had around food.  And it's very region specific in Italy.  They are all different.

It's really a way to live, a philosophy of life.  I think a lot of Americans miss out on it because they are used to eating bland, processed food.  (That's ok too, just missing out on the joy that food can bring.)[/quote]

I would say that America has better food/cooking than a lot of places. [/quote]

Hmmm.  I would say the major cities probably do, but everywhere else is not.  American foods are meat heavy, vegetable light and scarce with the spices.  The introduction of immigrant foods really helped with that.

Name some American recipes/meals you think are good and I'll judge..lol[/quote]
