Every time I go into the comments of a youtube video about making a traditional Italian dish easier it's full of the most pretentious people in the world talking about how "That's not real Risotto, my Italian mother blah blah blah" like shut the fuck up, your name is Carl and you live in Altoona, Iowa.
I once posted a pic of some spaghetti meatballs to a dorm group chat. The Italian dude immediately jumps in and says "that's not real pasta". So I say to him "noodles are from China, so you guys are actually just fucking up 捞面 really bad."
Dude got legitimately mad and didn't talk to me for a week. Worth it.
A dude that gave me that attitude on pasta/noodles also tried to (erronously) correct me on spider taxonomy and the ranges of mosquitos. I sticks with me years later.

I knew one of these guys in college, one time I ate his cooking and it was the worst fucking spaghetti I've ever had in my life lmao

The Sards have their own version of hand pulled noodles, too. Called su filindeu. The mainland Italian mind could never
I deal with ths as a job. It's insufferable. None one I work with is even Italian.
