Italians are so cucked by the ruling class that they can't enjoy a combination of sweet and salty and acidic flavors. Apparently it's very important in their culture to pretend to be mature consumers whose lives are happily controlled by bourgeois virtues. I think the real "abomination" here is people who are reducing their aesthetic taste by narrowing humanity's wide and expansive culinary palate, just to strengthen the brand for their fascist ideals of national foods https://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/8gbqwl/what_is_the_best_two_topping_pizza_combination/dyasmg8/
My wife worked as a caterer up until pretty recently and one of her worst experiences ever was catering a Italian American wedding.
They used garlic instead of shallots in their recipe, 99% of the guests had no problem scarfing it down, however one older woman was disgusted by the garlic not being shallots and in 15 minutes there were half-a-dozen fat New Jerseyans screaming at her in the kitchen for making inauthentic slop as they called it. They then used this as an excuse to refuse to tip.
They would have found something.
