    I go to Italy often just to eat real Italian food. I understand that for Italians, the hawainana pizza is an aberration, like many other things if not cooked as they traditionally do. And I respect it, because it’s a key part of their culture. Still, I have a right to eat and like whatever I want, so I also expect respect on that sense. Some people will do this and some others won’t. I think it’s a personal choice to decide respecting others opinions.

      Traditional schmaditional. They never had tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, corn or a bunch of other things until Meso-America was ransacked.

        Discovering that tomatoes were new world fruit really torpedoed any chance of me respecting Italian traditions

          Well… a tradition’s gotta start sometime.

          Look at that fucking Elf on the Fucking Shelf shit. It’s marketing tag on the box is (or was) “a tradition”.

          Yeah. A tradition for ONE fucked up family who then cashed in HARD and forced their sick gaslighting on the gullible public. /rant

      They don’t have to serve you what you want if it’s not on the menu, they can try to accommodate if they really want but that’s about it.

      But if you don’t have the ingredients they cannot really do that can they.
