I wanted to buy a pin for my coat with the EU on it, asked where they were made… China.
We can’t even make our symbols in Europe.
Good to see that politicians are focused on important things like this.
That’s it, either that fix that shit or we leave the EU.
Just wait until they find out about the “Pizza Hawaii” they also serve in the restaurants there.
Not to mention that you can legally buy a cappuccino in the coffee shop after 12:00.
In other news: these supermarkets, cafes and restaurants are not run by the Parliament administration but are independent businesses and they can sell whatever they like (within the Belgian law). This is all just about an old man shouting at the clouds!
Italians pissing and shitting about their food will never stop being funny
I honestly find some of this stuff ridiculous. I mean, what’s the ultimate outcome? You’ll only be allowed to eat Carbonade and Moules-frites in Brussels?
I mean the Italians have been serving up dishes based on tomatoes, which were only introduced in the 16th century – it’s a disgrace!
When I say legislators are disconnected from people’s needs…..this is exactly what I mean
Do they really fume or do the big majority of Italians simply not care?
Scandalous!
In the meantime, let’s watch quietly as Orban dismantles democracy and we welcome the narco-state of Albania into the Union.
Humanity is fucking doomed.
Italian are so conservative about their food it is crazy, as if it was some kind of sacred thing that should never ever change.
Who is surprised?
“Anything style food” has that “cheese in a can” feel about it.
Good for the Italians for not tolerating this.
🙄
It’s only Italian if you cut the spaghetti with scissors
Every time I read/hear the word “Carbonara”, nowadays I think
>If my grandmother had wheels, she would have ben a bike!
That’s it guys, if we fix this we’re done with all of our problems.
Russia invading Ukraine. *I sleep*
EU makes Italian food. *I rage!!*

People have not understood what Italy is complaining about, there are non-Italian products sold with references on the packaging that make it appear to be a product made in Italy, which violates the rules of the European Union.
This “Italians pretending they invented food” trend got very boring, very fast.
Selling carbonara on a supermarket is wild though. Carbonara necessarily needs to be made fresh.
I mean it’s JUST noodles guys! 😬
I will never understand why Italy in particular is always so angry about food.
China, India, Middle East etc all have more influential cuisines but you never hear them ranting about it even though western restaurants often butcher their food way worse than Italian food and make them bland af.
Ah the grossly overpaid EU parliament workers. Speaking a bubble disconnected with the real world.
Maybe they should take a walk around the touristic areas in Italy where they sell “Italian” food that is not just bad Italian cuisine but foul garbage wherever you are
This is why the EU will never work. Let’s just disband the whole operation. The Italians and the French are just too much 😂😂😂😂😂
Let me guess, PDO issue?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_designation_of_origin
Every country has PDO, it came free with having a culture.
Not our fault no one wants to imitate yours.
Here come the Italian food police squad.
“OH NO HOW DARE YOU EDIT FOOD!!!”
I don’t give a shit that authentic carbonara comes with pecorino, I don’t have access to Italian sheep’s cheese at my local shop funnily enough so I’ll be using cheddar or Parmesan. Deal with it.
For those of you that can’t be bothered to actually read the article, this isn’t about the appearance or taste, it’s about the transparency and legality of it:
> According to Fidanza, the products in question may violate EU rules on food labelling, which prohibit the use of misleading symbols or evocations of origin.
> “The improper use of symbols or references, in this case, references to ‘Italianness’ on products that do not come from Italy, may constitute a deceptive practice and therefore be prosecutable,” he said in a statement
If our own parliament doesn’t respect our laws how can we expect anyone else to?
When you first look at it, it almost seems like a silly story. You think, alright, it is just a couple of sauces with Italian names that are not really Italian, nothing new. But when you realise that these products are being sold inside the building of an EU institution that constantly talks about protecting food names, quality labels and things like PDO, the whole situation takes on a completely different meaning. It is not just about bad packaging or imitation products, it is about coherence. You cannot say you defend authenticity and then allow Italian sounding products that have nothing to do with Italy to sit on the shelves of your own internal supermarket. That is why the whole thing feels more serious than it looks at first glance
However I would like to say that Italian politicians (especially this government full of xenophobes and corruption who like to spread hatred) in my humble opinion are dumb and incompetent, hope they focused on important other things the way they focus about things like this
Restaurant: Hey, try our new offerings on our Country X Cuisine Week!
Person of X nationality: Lolwut, those don’t even look like dishes from my country, why are they even calling them that.
Everyone else: *Ooohhhh*~ you’re *fuming* aren’t you! Don’t be so *angry* man, you know what it’s like~! But I get it, it must be *enraging!* etc.
That guy certainly has his priorities straight.
Now as a Belgian I wonder if that supermarket sells Heineken as ´beer´. Now *that* would be a crime.
Also, to those who didn’t bother reading the article, this is the food equivalent of Americans going around calling themselves Irish/Italian/Greek/Hungarian/etc because their great-great-great-grandparents migrated to the US from one of these countries. And then claiming to make “authentic” dishes which are just basically USifyed versions of vaguely understood recipes of staple Country X dishes, or “authentic” art that’s like a weird mishmash of traditional styles. Which would be perfectly fine and maybe even very tasty/pretty on its own right, but, y’know, c’mon.
(Disclaimer: no disrespect meant toward Americans who do in fact do their research and do actually care about the culture of their great-great-great-grand-ancestors, don’t feel they have the right to speak on behalf of the people from those countries/cultures, etc. etc. etc.)
There are more serious issues in both countries than this nonsense.
Oh look, a nationalist doing what they do…
(Well, their best is abusing the populace for personal and party gain, so stoking rage and dividing people would be)
…the last best of the only two things they do.
Then open up a shop and serve authentic at a competitive price?
