Italian food: World vs Italy

As someone of Italian descent I can confirm this to be true.

Food is like language it is used and changed by the user. It doesn't make it less because it is not exactly what you would be served by someone's grandmother from that country. It's why Italians serve gelato with Chinese food... calm yourself.

uhh the left side is i-talian. i grew up in a place riddled with Italians and i can attest to this. thank god because my BELLY SURE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GREATNESS AND SHIT. i pity the simpletons whove never had authentic tiramisu fodjxgwuebxjxjx

All ethnic foods are like that around the world. I moved from New Zealand to USA. Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Thai, Japanese.. All very different, between the two countries, and typically neither is close to the real thing.

I'm Italian and this is so true!
