    culinary nationalism is a drug. its also nonsense too.

    ESPECIALLY for Italy, a country that’s younger than the United States, and who’s language is actually 20 languages in a trench coat.

    For most of post-Roman history a Venician and a Scicilian would have had absolutely no reason to associate with one another, culturally.

    I’d blame Giuseppe Garibaldi, but he was actually kinda based

      If Italy hadn’t been blown up a bunch and its government totally reformed by the events of the world wars it would be even more of a collection of city states in a trench coat.
