Italians are known for their passionate temperament. When it pertains to food, all cultures and nations express a sense of pride in their gastronomical heritage and its unique attributes that sets it apart from the rest of the foods of the world. But if a certain twitter account is to be believed, Italians take their love for food to the next level and are apparently mad at the slightest hint of a variance from their conventional dishes and preparations. 'Italians Mad At Food' is a page that documents the various colourful ways that Italians express their disgust and contempt for foreign cooking approaches. The account curates the screenshots of Italian responses to food videos on numerous social networks websites consisting of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and needless to say, the results are hilarious!
The account was supposedly begun after the admin began discovering a pattern of a host of angry remarks on Italian food videos made by popular U.S. recipe video pages. The bio of the page states, "if you don't care about how we prepare adhere to your Burgers and Leave our dishes alone", and reveals their area as "wherever pasta is oppressed". The remarks would, typically, be filled with colourful phrases and curs insulting the food and American cooking approaches used in preparing classic Italian meals. They suggest that Italians are simply troubled and desire the world (particularly the U.S.) to know that they do not take the criminal offense of messing around with their food, lightly.
People have a very personal connection with what they eat and we each experience a dish in a distinct method. This is why it can invoking passions and heated disputes about what is the 'best method' of preparing a certain dish. Well, if we have actually found out one thing today, it is that 'hell hath no fury like an Italian who has seen their food being messed around with'.
