Thank you for this community. Back when I first joined Lemmy I missed niche communities. Today I found CunkPosting and I feel complete.
And every time you add cream to a carbonara, you can count on people from the country that invented fascism to complain about cultural purity.
Oddly enough, they’re also the country that invented adding cream to carbonara.
That's the hilarious part. Italy is not freaking singular place. It's like saying you're doing some regional dish wrong from the US when you live 3 states away from where that regional dish was created.
I've seen one Italian person correct another Italian person on how they weren't making the sauce "traditionally". Turns out both of them were making it it the traditional way to where they live.
Then the original person that was whining claimed that there's was the right way because the original bolognese sauce was invented in Bologna.
They can't even agree that there's going to be internal variations on a regional dish.
How dare you link spaghetti with fascism?
Have you ever shared a kitchen with an italian?
The fascism is magically sealed in spaghetti. When you break them (so they fit into the pot) it will be unleashed and take possession of any Italian present
Oh god, the flashbacks. that motherfucker would set up camp in the goddamn kitchen all fucking night, and talk to his mother for multiple hours.
"let me get some healthy eating done, oh no wait, the italian shithead I live with has occupied the kitchen territories and won't fucking stop until 1am when he and his shitty gf are going to get into yet anotehr fucking argument"
I should have called the fucking cops on his fucking ass.
Well...
Fasces (/ˈfæsiːz/ FASS-eez, Latin: [ˈfaskeːs]; a plurale tantum, from the Latin word fascis, meaning 'bundle'; Italian: fascio littorio) is a bound bundle of wooden rods, often but not always including an axe
Sounds like a bound bundle of spaghetti with an axe in the middle would be awfully close to a fasces
😱
Pasta is just messing up Asian noodles and making it their national identity.
That's a myth. There have been proto-pasta back in Etruscan days.
Mmmm proto pasta
Sort of. The proto-pasta was either a sort of flatbread ravioli, or there was a dish that was kind of similar to lasagna.
There was nothing like noodles until they came along the silk road from China. Which took something like 2000 years.
Italians taking noodles from Asia and tomatoes from South America to make their new national identity
What about the entire Rome thing?
They covered it: slave economy, crony merchantislism, private armies and sections of the government, a "private and public partnership" and an untouchable ruling class and a master race (roman citizens).
Its not a coincidence that both facsism and City-state sized capitalism were all founded in Italy.
Fascism was literally inspired from Ancient Rome.
Same place same people, ancestors of about a third of 20th Century Italians.
Pizza?
Pizza too
Just questioning and not the person you're talking to, but what are the origins of capitalism and it's alternatives?
Trade has always been a thing but look up "wealth of nations" and "das kapital" on wiki and go from there.
technically the origins of fascism trace back to the us jim crow laws wasnt it?
Some inspiration, but only incidentally. Fascism was really Italians wanting to be Romans again. This is why most of the key ideas of Fascism were written out in Latin, or used Latin terms.
