Yeah I hate to burst your romantic bubble about the magical cultured old worlders, but anyone below the age of 50 in this is also not unfamiliar with eating American fast-food and enjoying it. By which I mean stuff like KFC lol.

If Olive Garden wanted to be Italy authentic then they should bankrupt their company.

When i think of Italian food, the 1st thing that comes to mind sure is a bucket-load of pasta and meat drenched in a gallon of cream sauce. Jesus wept: the CALORIES.

LoL at anyone who thinks “you know those fried raviolis aren’t authentic!” is some revelatory own or somehow makes it not taste good.

The overwhelming majority of people couldn’t care less about where the original thought sees of their meal is coming from, it’s all just meat, dairy and grains smashed and boiled into different shapes.

So is poo, but it goes through stomach, intestines, and your butthole first

I guess what I'm saying is that Olive Garden diners are one step above people who eat their own poo

This is just making me remember when Anthony Bourdain made delicious looking pasta for his friends in Italy and they poo poo all over it because apparently being a host in Italy means you can be an rear end to your guest who tried to feed you

When Conan O'Brien filmed his special in Italy they found a bunch of scam artists that pretended to show them how to find truffles. Thankfully they didn't speak English so Conan called them frauds.

From the way it's framed it seems like they're calling it italian because macaroni is pasta which is complete bs

mac and cheese was popularized by thomas jefferson. his journals at monticello had over a dozen different recipes for various styles of noodle, cheese, and combination of the two.

Lasagna is garbage and Italian food has so much more to offer than that outside of garbage rear end chains. Like arancini, real buffalo mozzarella, cacio e pepe, any amazingly delicious fish, pasta arrabbiata, eggplant parmesan, ricotta gnudi, gnocchi, anything made with ricotta, basically anything fresh that isn't Americanized bullshit slop.

Arancini = arab rice dish
Buffalo = not native to Western Europe
Pasta arrabbiata = literally Arab pasta
Eggplant parmesan = copy of moussaka
Gnocchi = made from the American potato

Italy makes fake arab and american foods

That video leads me to believe that italians are ignorant assholes (also the food they fed them looks like garbage. Feed a Lou Malnati Chicago Style Pizza to an italian. I get that it's not pizza to them, but there is not way they would turn their nose up to it like they did in that video).

This video however, has italian grannies eating Olive Garden and they like some and don't like some... as a normal sane person would expect.

Eggplant parm > Moussaka. Never cared for Moussaka.
It seems like it really ought to be hot, but I've always had it served cold and it just feels so wrong and weird to me.

This was served by genuine bonafide old world Greeks though. Homemade! And not as leftovers. :shrug:

I'm head over heels for basically everything else they make (including finally showing me the wonders of well made dolmades). Even the somewhat gross village food was fine.
But cold moussaka ugh.

If I get the pass I can go there 3 times each day for 8 weeks and hopefully connect with the cute and slightly nerdy server girl and she will see that I am an interesting and thoughtful person and i'll tell her I'm only eating Olive Garden 3 times each day ironically because its a good deal and I live with my parents but its not so bad they let me do my own thing and hopefully we can be friends and maybe more :)
