>An Italian chef sacked from a Brisbane restaurant had refused to put pineapple on a pizza because it was an "insult to his culture".https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx4g1qy6gq9mo
Meanwhile people will soon be getting into fist fights over cranberry sauce to slather over savory dishes on turkey day and Christmas.
>>22275346I hope he wasn't putting tomato on it then
>>22275351Why wouldn't you put tomato on it?
The whole italian ""traditional cuisine"" schtick is entirely retarded. For some reason, they decided that their "traditional" cuisine is based on a few very specific recipes codified in the 1950s, that you are now prohibited from modifying because they are traditional and sacred etc. Completely idiotic from a culinary standpoint. It's even reinforced by things like PDO designations for specific meals that specify to great precision how to cook the food.In reality, traditional cuisine is based on the ingredients you have and your methods of preparation. The actual dishes have always been changing. No one before the 20th century wrote down much, they just cooked something like their mom did, with probably slightly different ingredients (what they had available), with changes influenced both by economics and culinary fashion.This approach of fixing dishes in place like some sort of religious fetish is just going to make italian chefs fall into irrelevance.And I'm not saying to abandon tradition. I'm saying to embrace the tradition of change. If this mindset existed in the 1700s, they'd refuse to put tomatoes on their flatbread and eat semolina pies fried in olive oil for the next three hundred years. Imported ingredients have always been a part of cuisine, and it's better to integrate them into dishes and methods of preparation, or Chinese cooking is going to eat your lunch ultimately.
>>22275346Note how this happened in Australia. What's the betting the guy is a wog who has never set foot in Italy?
>>22275360The irony being in actual Italy they have all those dishes called shit like Pasta Alla Mussolini's Bigga Di Ballsa that is served with goats milk in the village of Bapityboopy while 4 miles away the village of Boopitybappa insists it must be made with sheep's milk.
No idea where this retard is from because we do pineapple on pizza in Italy all the bloody time. >>22275376His name is Davide Tamburella. He's a millennial from Italy. I know he's a millennial because for an Italian man, Davide is the absolute most millennial name ever, like how Jayden/Jaden is the most zoomer name ever in the US. I know close to 826383 Davides.His refusal has more to do with his status as a millennial than an Italian.
>CAST IT ONTO THE PIZZA! TOP IT!
>>22275346Wow guess he just wants to spend the rest of his life podcasting or something. No doubt people would want to talk to you for the retarded ass clickbait headline alone. Ooo i talked with the only real ITALIAN who got fired for doing the FUNNY.
>>22275346basedpineapple on pizza tastes like shit
>>22275395Sounds like Davide’s nuts
Some dumbass and his wife opened a wood fired pizza place in my town. He refused to change anything on the pizzas, if there was a pizza with 5 ingredients on it, he refused to leave off one of the toppings for any reason. He claimed it "disrespected his vision and the recipies he curated over time". They closed within a year.
>>22275539Everyone in Australia, regardless of where they were born, is insane. Just look at Mel Gibson's father, won Jeopardy, became a crazy Second Vatican Council denying Antisemite, moved to Australia. Raised Mel in Australia where he became Mel Gibson.
>>22275395It's the ultimate Reddit Poster/Viral on Twitter response. Trying to go viral and get upboots and ultimately become a good guy meme and get hired to be a real Italian Chef at a nice restaurant instead of making pizza for drunks at 2 am.
>>22275542oy vey, you sound mad.
>>22275346Seems extreme to turn the guy into a pizza
>>22275358
based paisan, he probably hated that place anyway
>>22275559Deus ipsum de facto romanus
>>22275346Based but also LARP.Pizza as we know it is American not Italian but on the other hand cooked pineapple tastes like vomit.
>>22275358tomatoes are a new world crop that wouldn't have been available in italy before the columbian exchange. tomatoes are even technically a fruit.
>>22275602>cultures are locked in before the Colombian exchange and aren't allowed to changeSure thing buddy
>>22275618that's right pal
>>22275618Then what's wrong with pineapple
>>22275618Imagine trying to take tobacco away from Italians
>>22275542I mean Vatican II is indisputable heresy. The throne of the Holy See has been vacant for over 60 years.
>>22275602So is wheat, which is used to make pizza dough.
>>22275638Retard
>>22275602some cultivars of tomato are actually bred for sugar content, i tried some recently and they taste almost exactly like grapes but with the bitter tomato essence too
>>22275627Nope. The proof is in the tomato >>22275631Yeah it's almost like different ingredients have different rules
>>22275558Respect the hustle
>>22275382
>>22275346Mama mia! it's another a-genocide-a!!
press F to pay respects to a fallen hero
>>22275346These people are retarded (no it’s not a euro specific thing see: texas chili) because every “traditional recipe” was invented in the 19th or 20th century by some chef who made a version of some peasant dish and peasants would have put whatever they had on hand in it, like a bouillabaisse. You think poor fishmongers HAD to make sure the exact same fish and shellfish went into their leftover fish stews every single time?
>>22275346I'd ask him to put kiwi on the pizza as well out of spite.>n..noooo tomoatoes don't count
>>22275346Why do Italians pin their culture to their poor man's foods? Every food they claim to have invented was cheaply made because they are a chronically poor people. Americans and other European countries improved their slop
>>22275760idk I thought they were big into strong coffee and chainsmoking.
>>22275346>bbc.co.ukfake news.>an italian chef... in brisbaneyeah... 'cause brisbane's in italy.>>22275348no, you just buy a can of ocean spray and let the one retard that likes cranberry sauce have the entire thing.
>>22275602>"no! you can't just update your culture! it exists in a vacuum!"you don't deserve the right to vote or own land.
>>22275631it tastes bad.>>22275728>out of spite>>>/lgbt/
>>22275884He emigrated from Italy. He's an Italian. He doesn't suddenly become a kangaroo just because he lives on aussie soil now, you fucking retard.But of course you think otherwise. What's your gender this week?
Are there other personalities available in italy than being insufferable about food
>>22275346Good eyetalien sticking to his guns and what he believes in. He will find another gig.
>>22275346BING BING OOOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>22275358kek
>>22275885>no! you can't just update your culture!
>Dismissed on bureaucratic grounds>He might of won the case if he filed earlier
>>22275688>Yeah it's almost like different ingredients have different rulesNo you are just a snooty fag
>>22275631canned exotic fruit doesn't belong on a pizza. lychees or bananas don't belong on a chili either. it's not that difficult.
>>22275989based fresh pineapple on pizza appreciator
>>22275949I laughed
>>22275886The fact that you allow tomatos in your pizza, yet keep pineapples out makes you far more suitable for >>>/lgbt/Also the audacity to dictate others what taste good, such a DEI move.
>>22275346Good. Pineapple is awesome on pizza, and only tastelets disagree.
Italian food was invented by Chef Boiardi in 1928 in Cleveland.
>>22275602>tomatoes are even technically a fruitand? so are many many other vegetables reddit retard
>>22277104surely you can see how that's relevant when discussing pineapple on pizza
>>22275602>Heh, you think this is an old tradition? ACKTUALLY it's only 500 years old! Haha gottem!
>>22275884This is going to shock you. People sometimes move. Sometimes they even move to a whole different country! I know, crazy!
>>22277107so at some point in the future pineapple on pizza will be commonly accepted in italy?
>>22277122In 500 years time yeah why not?
>>22275346The question, did he work at actual Italian restaurant, or domino's
>>22277094The greatest American hero
>>22277126>tomatoes first mentioned in italy in 1500s>italy was growing pineapples in the 1700s>italians started putting tomato on pizza in the 1700s>people started eating pineapple on pizza in the 1900sitaly is overdue for accepting pineapple on pizza
>>22277094What did italians eat before?
>>22277579Rocks.
>>22277579pasta with butterpasta with nothingpasta with cheesesmoked meats
>>22277579roman food
>>22275679Wheat comes from the middle east faggot, so it's not Italian.
reddit occupied society
>>22275346Apparently 'hawaiian' style pizza is one of the most popular toppings in Australia. Dunno how does he expect to dodge it there.
>>22277630Even in Milan?
>>22275346Good, this pleases me. Also that sounds retarded.
