Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.

    Well, no. That would be tomatoes. Italians (and the world) have the indigenous peoples of the Americas to thank for that.

      GOOD COMMENT, I’m stealing that for that when I repost this on genocide day to trigger people from New Jersey.

      Pizza as a dish is an American dish at its core. Land and credit for Pizza back.

      Deep dish is still better than anything Italy ever made, look at the amount of tomato in there. The defining ingredient.

          What holiday do Americans celebrate that might have something to do with making Italian-Americans upset?

          I’ll give you a hint, he said this in a letter: “They do not bear arms, and do not know them. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane. They would make fine slaves. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.”
