dear diary: today Garrett destroyed my dreams of what genuine Italian food would be like when he told me that it tastes like the Olive Garden. I wonder what will happen tomorrow

 

I'm not a big red sauce fan

 

Good food is good food. I'm sure there's good good here and good good there, foods food when I'm in the mood

 

there are obvious exceptions (see: el gato e la vulpe in florence, which is an entirely different world), but as far as standard quality goes, about par.

i can also go ahead and dash this, too: fettucini alfredo is an american dish they've since adopted because americans go to italy and expect to see it on a menu. it, along with spaghetti, are usually the two worst things on any menu.

 

White sauce>Red Sauce don't @ me

 

hell yeah ian

 

hell yeah @ joe

 

also a lot of american italian is influenced by southern italian cooking because the poor people from the south are the ones who immigrated to the states back in the day, except it's way less spicier than their food is currently (which is a shame). most of the places tourists visit are in the north, which is where OG gets most of their recipe influence, which also explains the dichotomy.

i just really like italian food okay

 

There's no such thing as Italian or Chinese food, it varies regionally based on what was traditionally available, if you were by water you are fish etc

 

Italy has seventeen different regions, and Ian is very much correct. The region I spent most of my time in was known for gnocchi recipes and lots of ham (being kosher/allergic to pork was fun).

Venice is known for a lot of squid ink pasta and delicacies. It's disturbing looking.

 

well, la-di-da

 

Good wine in Italy

 

Hey guys

 

I really enjoy this Italian lesson with Garrett. I'm learning more about my origins than I've ever known

 

hey boy hey

 

How are you evil sun that dips down and makes me rage

 

pretty good. you?

 

Yo soda what's sippin pimpin?

 

I'm good. Pretty stoked it's Friday

What are the weekend plans everyone?

 

Greetings

 

It's one of the things I will never shut up about unless people yell at me to do so. I miss it so much.

 

There's a Rhythm and Ribs festival going this weekend here. Gonna check that out.

 

I'm not picky, I like white and red sauce

Tomato is the best fruit

 

olive oil sauces became my favorite, but they're very messy and hard to eat without ruining the shirt you're wearing

 

That's a ballsy call
