minus-squareGregorGizeh@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down18·2 years agoWhy would you make a carb side dish for a carb loaded main course? Must be american “cuisine".
minus-squareQuetzalcutlass@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 years agoHey, bread is served with meals in most western cuisine. The American part was adding loads of salt and fat on top of those carbs!
minus-squareGregorGizeh@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoFair enough, though I would argue that the side/appetizer bread doesn’t count because restaurants mostly serve it so the customers gorge themselves on something cheap instead of complaining about tiny main course portions.
minus-squareDarkThoughts@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 years agoI only know it for things like stews and soups, maybe some fried veggies, not for literal noodles.
minus-squaresab@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·edit-22 years agoGarlic bread is not a thing in Italy at all. Italians eat white bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Garlic bread is an American dish, popular among Italian Americans as a substitute as they couldn’t get olive oil in the US.
minus-squarewizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoOk, but to address the jerk’s “point”, a carb based side for a carb based entree is not some uniquely American thing.
minus-squarefsxylo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoPane al’aglio and bruschetta disagree with you.
minus-squaresab@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoBruschetta is a completely different thing. I can’t remember ever having it with butter at all. Pane all’aglio is just Italian for “bread with garlic”. Italian cook books will market it as an American dish.
minus-squarefsxylo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 years ago Garlic bread is not a thing in Italy at all. You said this. It’s wrong. Even if it’s marketed as “American” it still is a thing in Italy. And apparently it’s good enough to import, even if they’ll publicly scoff at it.
minus-squaresab@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoSure, it’s as Italian as a big mac and sauerkraut.
minus-squarefsxylo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years ago Garlic bread is not a thing in Italy at all. Again, that’s what you said. And you’re wrong. It does exist in Italy. You’re just arguing for the sake of it now.
