Spoon was used, especially in Napoli a couple generations ago. Some Italians still do use them. It was a high society kind of thing, that’s why the plebs don’t like it.

You want to create a new dish, give it a new name. If I order a carbonara and it comes with cream and chicken, I’ll feel scammed.

Stuff like breaking spaghetti make no sense to Italians who have countless varieties of short pasta. Just use the short ones ffs.

Chicken in the pasta? Definitely a thing in Italy.

…

On top of that, cultures with tasty food (that will exclude some 🤣) will behave the same way with their dishes. Don’t call it Tika Masala if it isn’t Tika Masala.

Anyway, my bitching about the bitching about the bitching is now over. 🫡
