To be honest, making a change to an Italian recipe you're going to make, serve and eat yourself, mentioning it to Italians and see them get crazy mad because that's not how their grandmother's grandma used to make it, is one of the most fun things in the world of food  

 

Something I often think of when breaking a couple of hands of spaghetti in half before putting them in the boiling water.

You break… what? 

 

You need to go to food jail immediately for that, and don’t you dare ever step foot in  

 

That’s what tongs and a big pot are are for

As for my opinion on Hawaiian pizza…

 

I’m one of the least picky people I know, I eat pretty much everything, and I love trying new dishes when on vacation but Hawaiian pizza is disgusting, and knowing that one of ours created this abomination makes me sick 

 

Some things just don’t go together, like pineapple and ham, pineapple and tomato sauce, and pineapple and cheese… so basically anything pineapple with pizza.

Nah, Parmigiano Reggiano is readily available in North America. You can buy them by the wheel at Costco if you're particularly crazy (and have a use for ~80lbs of cheese).

Yeah, I don’t have the use for a wheel of Parmesan but I buy a block of it every few months at Costco, and it’s excellent  (not for my bank account but for my stomach)

Pineapple not going with tomato sauce or cheese I can get, but not going with *ham*? O.o

 

That was a thing long before Hawaiian pizza ever was.

Listen, you think that's bad? My ex would break the pasta, then put it in a pot of cold water, then turn the boiler on.

 

And yes the pasta he made had a disgusting texture.

I'm not that integralist 

actually, I'm also used to adapt some classic recipes to my own taste going against tradition

but cheese and fish together...no, it's not a question of personal taste, it's a sacrilege. point.

ps as I said, I shouldn't even talk about that, as I don't eat any kind of cheese anyway...but still, certain things are just a way of ruining the main ingredient of a recipe (being it fish, meat, pasta or cheese itself)

I don’t find it bad or anything, but agreed. Although where I disagree is when it comes to seafood and parmigiana, cheese only works well with seafood when paired with pasta IMO (only certain types, and even then you can’t add too much or else you’ll overdo it)

Not to me it doesn’t, but the ham & pineapple combination does work the best out of all of them at least.

I’m glad they’re an ex and not your partner after reading that
