if you make the pasta in italy, they kill you

From the excellent account Italians Mad At Food, which you should follow – I can’t decide which of these is my fave but it’s probably “what’s next? Killing some infants?”

I like that almost all of them mention their grandmothers. I thought that “Italians: if you don’t use the left leg of a pig from this one village in Tuscany my grandma will haunt you” thing was a joke but apparently not.

NONNAS ARE NOT JOKES. NONNAS WILL BEAT YOU WITH A WOODEN SPOON FOR NONSENSE BULLSHIT PASTA MAKING.

Italians are purists regarding their cuisine. You KNOW it.
You admire us for this.
If you bastardize it and have the gall to call it Italian in any way, and then receive vehement insults and threats, you had it coming.
(PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ITALIANS CAN SHOUT AT YOU AND EACH OTHER AND STILL CALL YOU A PAL. I WOULD NOT TAKE THREATS SERIOUSLY. BUT I WOULD NOT CROSS THEM AGAIN ON THE SUBJECT, JUST IN CASE).
