this is true but besides the point. they've had tomatoes long enough to invent authentically italian cuisine that makes ample use of tomatoes. pizza is just not italian cuisine. it is gentrified american fast food.

cured meats, cheeses, fresh and dried fish, bread and oil, rich pastry. wine. pasta as a late adoption and not as diverse as we know it.

i think they've had pasta for a long time. it just wasn't anything like what we think of it now

long hand cut strips of dough basically. and i think they fried it wet; no boiling as we do now

yeah it’s only really a distant cousin of modern pasta and would not necessarily be recognizable as such

“Italian food” is a fraud. A lot of the iconic dishes weren’t even popular until after WWII or even later. Carbonara is from like 1945. Cacio e Pepe not until 2000s. Bolognese sauce from 1980s. But if you talk to Italians they act like these sauces are some massive tradition from hundreds and hundreds of years.

italians either are not familiar with many of these or simply disavow. not all though, you're right.

i don't think italians from italy claim a lot of this stuff though

when i think of italian food proper (not touched or mutated by the diaspora) i think of anchovies and heavy boar stews soaking in wine. pulses and rich cheeses

They totally do. It’s all over the menus everywhere in Italy now. It’s all over Italian restaurant menus in Europe and if you get a bolognese or whatever people will be like “meh not as good as in Italy”. They’ve built up a huge fraud in one generation about how it’s super traditional
