Since it's Italy I'd actually wager it's not Iberico, that's more of a Spain thing.

I cannot stress enough however how good a quality ham is and they literally do go up to multiple hundred dollars, if any of you ever go to Spain get a portion of Iberico ham, it's a treat and worth it at the price of >10 dollar for a 100g.

Seeing someone mishandled a good piece of meat can absolutely annoy people though, imagine someone took a 50 dollar well aged steak and stuck it in a mincer to make burgers or something.

I remember years ago I was watching some football post-finals show and they were at a swanky bar at a casino. They all had glasses of some thousand-dollar cognac poured for them and one of them said "hey can you get me some ice and a can of coke here?"

gently caress it, it's their thing, let them get joy out of it however they want without sweaty idiots telling them they should die over it. We get little enough joy from the world as it is, put garlic in your loving carbonara if that's how you like it.

Getting mad over someone "ruining" a "classic" recipe is hilarious when there's heaps of fusion restaurants serving insanely delicious food where they've let innovation and creativity guide them to something new and wonderful.

The schad rests squarely in the middle since both methods have drawbacks. Italians value just doing the classical thing well, Americans value doing the new thing, but every innovation is built on a mound of stupid dumb bullshit before you finally get something worth having... You either see the new thing or the mountain of dumbassery on which its built.

after we lit this one, nothing was ever the same
There is a big difference in ingredient quality in Italy vs. the US too. Italy is tiny, they don't have to consider time-in-transport for a bunch of fresh ingredients; also, food is more expensive there because there hasn't been (as much of) a race to optimize food for low price.

You can take your Italian recipe from Italy and try to make it in Cincinnati (or Manchester,or Guangzhou or Nairobi) and it just won't be the same, which means to a traditionalist Italian it won't be as good, because the ingredients are different. So people adapt. But of course, this is the internet, where everything is awful and makes you stupid and is about getting insanely fuckin mad, so we get constant context-free hot takes.

anyway could I get a small chocolate shake, a large fries, and a burger, i already know how much it is

You get lots of innovative recipes outside of fusion restaurants. I had some fantastic meals in Parma last time I was there, really creative. As a massive generalisation in French and Italian cooking theres a sense that you have to be able to do the basics well before you can innovate from there. Carbonara is really basic, eggs, cheese, pancetta and garlic that's all you need.

Understanding what makes a carbonara a carbonara is important if you want to make it good. If you put cream in your carbonara its usually because you've not understood what makes it smooth and creamy, what you've made might be delicious but it's objectively not a carbonara. It's a technique that you need to learn first.

Italians being angry over food will never stop being funny mind.

lol I still remember a thread from years ago where people got into a loving enormous screaming row over whether it was ever ok to order a steak well-done (“well-done means ruined and no self-respecting chef will cook a good cut of meat like that” vs “a good chef will be able to cook meat the way the customer orders it without ruining it”)

Aramoro posted:

According to the purists, :wrong:

The thing that helps contextualise why Italians and others get so mad about food is to remember that for better or worse their food cultures are really tied up in their national identity, way more than in a nation of immigrants like the States or to a lesser extent the UK, where we actively embrace/steal foreign influences in our cuisine to overcome the relative blandness of our local ingredients. In anglophone countries we've got the language and a whole lot of other products we create and export culturally to the rest of the world, whereas for some less influential countries the food is all they've got. Even within the US for example you don't have to look far to find people tearing into each other about the 'correct' way to make chili or barbecue.

It becomes a problem for me when food protectionism strays into nationalism. I live in Luxembourg, which is 50% composed of immigrants from all over Europe and the world, and I've had arguments with Italians in local facebook groups who got upset when someone asked for recommendations for the best 'Italian style pizza' and non-Italians were offering their opinions, like being Italian somehow qualifies you to be a better critic of what is a decent pizza or not. This same line of thinking leads to another hilarious thing I've seen, in a poo poo resort town on the mediterranean coast of Turkey that caters entirely to British package holiday tourists, where they had 'Chinese' restaurants with a sign outside the door saying 'GENUINE CHINESE CHEFS! IF THERE ISN'T A CHINESE IN THE KITCHEN YOUR MONEY BACK!'

Carbonara is really the perfect meal to illustrate the pros and cons of the whole argument though. On the one hand it's extremely funny to see Italians getting performatively mad over a recipe that's only existed for less than a century, and acting like putting garlic in it is akin to wiping your arse with the flag. On the other, dumping a load of bacon, cream and peas into a pan and calling it a carbonara is evidently missing the whole point of the dish and bears no relation to an authentically made one, and at that point just call it creamy ham pasta or whatever. Food is like language, it should be organic and adaptable, but with respect to the traditions. Making a carbonara with cream isn't doing anything to evolve or adapt the dish, it's just making a totally different meal and calling it carbonara because you're ignorant. Making it with pancetta because guanciale isn't available in your region, or adding garlic to it, are more natural alterations.
