Gli italiani sono indignati da una salsa alla carbonara belga fatta con pancetta affumicata al posto del guanciale, ingrediente chiave delle ricette autentiche. Il ministro italiano dell’Agricoltura, Francesco Lollobrigida, ha chiesto un’indagine, citando preoccupazioni sull’autenticità della cucina italiana e sull’impatto dei prodotti “italian-sound” sull’economia del paese. Il Parlamento Europeo ha tolto il prodotto dai suoi scaffali.

Fair enough. It’s basically the most easy pastasauce to make – who even buys this in a jar?
They should be happy we didnt add cream instead of eggs.
Wait until they hear about pineapple on pizza, snapped pasta before boiling and pregrated parmazan powder
Yet another example of rightwing conservatives tackling the true problems of the system.
The Italian in the street is rejoicing!
It’s a trick. This way they can shame the Italians that don’t make their own Carbonara.
Don’t they have anything better to do than complain about jars of terrible sauce with a little Italian flag?
Wait until they learn about Knorr spaghetteria.
I had no idea these things were uniquely Belgian.
A friend of ours had an exchange student over from Italy. In the supermarket he saw a jar of ‘carbonara sauce’ and was horrified. 2 days later they made authentic carbonara, with her following instructions and him on the phone with his mother, translating Italian to English.
He still thought pre-grated pecorino was wrong but at least it was made the way it should be made.
FYI: The Italian minister in question belongs to the far-right Fratelli d’Italia party. The brussels times also wrote about it.

Meanwhile those cringe Italians are pouring Belgian ales in a lemonade glass ffs.
*puts bulletproof vest on*
The original carbonara sucks, and like most Italian dishes, their modern modified versions are usually far better and tastier.
I make mine with schwarzwaldschinken. Try and stop me!
Oh no! Anyways …
Who gives a shit mate. Shall we also cry about mayonnaise because homemade mayo is 10x better? Cry that they’re selling fries for an airfryer? That they suck at making fries abroad? I make my carbonara with bacon bits from Colruyt, and I even strongly prefer it over pancetta. All this shows is that they’re butthurt easily. Grow up.
Fake Italian minister causes outrage to Belgian carbonara.
Fake Italian minister causes outrage to Belgian carbonara.
Imagine them putting fritessaus on frieten and calling them Belgian frieten.
This reads like an article from The Onion
