A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.

Rule 1 - Be civil.
Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.

Posting guidelines:

No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

I've had several old Italian ladies give me cooking lessons. It was amusing seeing the split. I'd say 50% were like the comic, it's tradition, gotta do exactly as done. The other 50% went with it's food, as long as it's nourishing and brings people together you're doing it right, do it how you want.

The funny thing, most of those recipes were only solidified in the 1950s.

And most not older than a few generations. But of course great-grandma knew better what i should eat, despite her vastly different circumstances, how dare you.

There was a sequel to this comic, iirc about putting ketchup in pizza

WHAT?!

Hell yeah I always break my spaghetti in half and I will never apologize for doing so

[–] umfk@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Then why buy spaghetti in the first place? Just buy smaller pasta.

They all slip from the fork. There's no established pasta in the ideal form of short spaghetti.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If they slip from the fork, you are over cooking the pasta and drowning it in sauce, which is the definition of shitty American pasta dishes.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

If they aren"t easy to eat, i make them easy to eat. And i like sauce, your opinion be damned.

Because breaking it makes zero difference to my mouth and it taste good

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 1 points 4 months ago

But it does make it harder to wind on a fork. Just break it on quarters and use a spoon.

I'm probably a worse "traitor" in that I'm of Italian descent and yet I'm really not a fan of pasta lol

I'll eat it if it's the only thing being served, but I had soooooooooo much as a kid, since we were poor, that I'm kinda over pasta.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

I had many years where I wouldn't ever make pasta for myself because I just had so much as a kid. I'm slowly getting back to being able to enjoy it instead of just tolerating it.
