‘Italian’ dishes that real Italians were furious about

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: ‘Italian’ dishes that real Italians were furious about.

Culinary trends come and go. One year you’re into the Peruvian-Japanese dishes, the next year it’s Nordic, low-carb, and the kiwi pops up everywhere again. And which culinary tradition stands far above that? The Italian cuisine of course. Globally popular and more or less the same for centuries. Except when they supposedly cook Italian in America, because then it goes wrong.

Italians are pulling their hair out in anger, frustratedly biting their fists and screaming into their pillows, because the photos of Italian dishes they come across on the internet are too frustrating for them to look at. You know how upset they get about the Hawaiian pizza, but these creations go even further beyond that. On the Twitter account @ItalianComments they share their misery with each other, and the world watches along.
