Angry chef reacts to the 11 worst crimes committed against Italian food

[@vincenzosplate]

I hope everyone will stop adding cream to the carbonara 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheSwedishRider]

Those who drink cappuccino after a meal aren't lactose intolerant like many Italians. Most northern Europeans aren't. So, just let them drink their cappuccino whenever they want. Check out the video "Why Italians don't drink a cappuccino after 11am" by James Hoffmann. He explains it well!

Here is another Italian crime that nephew Vincenzo forgot to point out; Adding olive oil to pasta water. There is no need to waste a good quality extra virgin olive oil by adding it to pasta water to ‘make it not stick’. And plus, adding oil to pasta water does not actually prevent the pasta from sticking, cos oil floats.

[@ezeee595]

Makes sense not to add if you are cooking fresh pasta. But it’s ok to add for dry pasta!!

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I would have Lipton ice tea with my Italian meal instead of a cappuccino. Don’t get mad at me. Also, if anyone tried to order pasta with ketchup in Italy, I’d say: do you think this is McDonald’s? Keep ketchup for yourself.

[@dinohermann1887]

Or even better a glass of cold Coca-Cola or Pepsi! It's great in combination with Pizza or Pasta! And I agree with you about ketchup, it belongs into hamburgers, hot dogs or currywurst, but not in any Italian dishes, at all!

Funny enough pineapple on pizza was a canadian invention! I’m sure many scream it’s wrong to use pineapple but if Franco Pepe says it’s ok to use, it’s ok to use and enjoy.

[@Bradamante68]

Franco Pepe said to use fresh pineapple with prosciutto crudo (prosciutto di Parma) on a white cream of parmigiano, which is something completely different from the Hawaii pizza combining pineapple and tomato. It is the acidic fruit + acidic fruit combo the mistake!

[@HassanHassan-iv7lk]

There is nothing as such pure Italian food, because within Italy itself food can be different from one region to the other, and some times from person to an order. Years been working with different professional chefs including Italian chefs and we all know about it

[@videovedo36]

Actually no. Purity, of course is nonsense. But the rules of tradition exist. They exist with variations from region to region and from town to town or village to village down to families' own. Because Italian cuisine is a regional cuisine. But ground rules stay the same and these pointed out by by Vincenzo can be called for the most part 'ground rules', that even innovative Italian chefs do not usually break.

[@ferdinando7719]

He is 100% correct

[@BlazeMusic-hj6mn]

Let me share with you a horror story: I live in Finland. Pineapple is the most popular topping on pizza there and frozen pizza is the most sold item in supermarkets. When I wanted to make proper pizza for my gf's family at home, I spent significant time gathering good ingredients and making the perfect sauce, then I asked the family what everyone wanted. Everyone except my gf put pineapple on pizza (and she didn't only because I rage if she does it) 2 people put sour pickles on it her dad put silli on it (which is pickled fish) Nobody understood why I was visibly upset at that and "why do you care if they like it that way?" I should also add that EVERYONE puts ketchup on pasta in Finland. Their idea of carbonara is cream, spaghetti, regular minced beef meat and ketchup. Their supermarkets don't even sell guanciale or pancetta. It doesn't exist here. When I refuse to use ketchup, people look at me weird, like I'm broken or something. I live in a city in eastern Finland. 95% of the restaurants here are burger joints. The other 5% are "proper" restaurants, including "italian" ones that will charge 30€ per meal and serve you cream carbonara and pizza that tastes worse than the plate it comes on. This country is beyond lost

[@LucasGondou]

[@EresirThe1st]

So why do you care if they like it that way? It’s stupid to say food has to be a certain way. People can just eat what they enjoy.

[@donnamarsh3474]

[@megachonker5664]

Most of these cooking and serving tips exist to maximize the eating experience, like salting the pasta water first. Others are common sense observations like don't fill yourself up with garlic bread if you're already eating pasta. And others are just about being consistent with a recipe: cream in carbonara is no longer carbonara, so you should call it by a different name. And pineapple doesn't belong in the flavor profile of pizza because pineapples were never native to Italy to begin with (they're from Brazil). None of the things in this video are "food crimes" or "food sins". "Food crimes" aren't real. Except maybe letting food go to waste.

[@kamma44]

Who are you to tell others what maximizes flavour for them? People around the world cook food the way they like it! And they call it want they want to?! 'pineapples were never native to Italy'?! LoL! And 'pizza' ie. meat/fruit/veg/cheese etc. on top of leavened bread and then baked is also not native to Italy! Civilizations around the world were eating this before Italy even existed as a country! Italy trying to 'own' pizza is like a country trying to own the concept of a sandwich?!

So happy you are here master Vicenzo, may the conservative ways prevail.

I want to give my opinion about the Pineapple Pizzas or also known as Hawaiian Pizzas are also a modern variety of Pizza. Remember, the pizza being now has been grown popular around the world and became commercialized. Italians should accept the fact that every country who made adoptation on your dish should have their own way too. In order to have distinction from your original Pizzas. I hope this comment might be acceptable for you. But, we have to face the truth.

[@Firelord-ry6gg]

+1 +Subscription * Great Video. * Chef Vincenzo is right with each Word. * Pinapple on a Pizza is an American Thing. I'm not a big Fan of it but when you put Pineapple on a Pizza it needs a Preoaration. Slice it and grill it on a BBQ Grill. It shall not be moist on the Pizza. It is better when it is caramelised. On a such a Pizza never use Tomatosauce or Parmesan. Maybe Tuna and BBQ Sauce.

[@johnnydapunk]

It’s actually Canadian and was first done in 1961 ! So I can agree with preparation being a balance as Franco Pepe does a version and he is one of the masters of pizza!

There was once a time cream was in Carbonara sauce. It’s only recently that some people are making a song and dance out of the cream thing in certain Pasta Sauces. And I’ll have Pineapple on a Pizza if I bloody like it. One of my favourite Pizzas is Hawaiian ( which I can’t have at the moment because of a restricted diet a doctor’s put me on at the moment for migraine. I can’t have yeast, hard or aged cheese or ham/bacon or even soy sauce. I know the soy sauce isn’t in pasta but…. Please let me not be on this diet forever. My taste buds are atrophing) ….. ⚛️☮️🌏

I’ve been living in Napoli for the past year , after having actual pizza on the regular even just the thought of eating a pizza from another region within Italy makes my stomach churn. Reading comments of people defending nuclear catastrophes like pineapple on ‘pizza’ makes me realise how special it really is . You can call it snobbism pretentiousness or whatever you like, but I can assure you that myself and the large majority of Italians feel the same. Italian food is beautiful, it is the art of simplicity and the appreciation of nature and family you do not need to experiment like a child nor do you need to reinvent the wheel. Learn the subtleties for yourself with respect for culture and tradition and soon enough your health and digestive system will be less radioactive in no time.

[@kamma44]

Holding one's own personal tastes and preferences as above others is not just snobbish but foolish! And on a side note, Italians didn't even invent the concept of pizza. Meats/fruits/cheeses/veg etc. on top of leavened bread then baked in an oven was being consumed by civilizations a thousand years before the country of Italy even existed! You can have the word 'pizza' but telling others what to put on baked leavened bread is just wrong. Italians always feel they're superior to others when it comes to food and eating?! Next you're going to be telling the Chinese how they should prepare their noodles?!

[@patriciamartin6756]

Sorry, why copy it. Between the gluten in the flour, the chance of allergic reactions to olive oil and tomatoes, I won't eat Italian food. What's worse yet is WITHOUT MUCH HUNGER IN EVERY COUNTRY that some people are dying of hunger and are grateful for anything to eat. This Itakian chef seems unaware that in America we have thevright NOT to be obsessed with food. We are health conscious, especially where food is concerned. Italians in Italy need to be reminded TO QUIT TRYING TO MICRO MANAGE WHAT PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES DO. It's none of their business. In America, people want to come home and relax, not work making food nobody wants. Vincenzo needs to do what he wants and leave other people not to have to listen to his whining. My family allocates from Italy. Thry too are obsessed with food. I married a nice,, quiet Swedish man who prefers eating very little else besides fish. Not everybody likes Italian food

[@jackapps2126]

This guy needs to chill. Seriously. We are not in prison and people can have their own eating habits as long as they don’t eat somebody else’s corpse. (And by somebody else I mean animals AND humans, because we are all living creatures, and every living being deserves to live, no matter what human thinks about it. Eating somebody else’s corpse is just unacceptable and wrong. Even if it’s in your culture it doesn’t mean that it’s fine, because it’s somebody else’s right to live and we need to respect it. You wouldn’t try to justify cannibalism just because it’s a part of someone’s culture, right? So why do you think that it’s okay to eat other living being’s flesh?) Okay, back to the topic. Everybody has a right to eat whatever they like if it doesn’t require somebody being killed. Other than that it’s up to a person what he/she likes or not. If someone wants some spaghetti with ketchup just let them eat that. If somebody wants pineapple on a pizza - sure, why not? It doesn’t do any harm to anyone as long as it’s a plant-based pizza of course. And if people want to eat pasta as a side dish with some seitan “steak” or chickpea patties/falafel, for example, just let them do so. The thing is - it’s cool to know the traditional way of cooking a dish - but does this guy know that not everyone is a chef or has a lot of time for cooking? And when it comes to being a professional chef I’d say that it’s important to experiment and create something NEW, instead of just doing what you were told to do without any creativity. If your carbonara was made with cream - fine, just make it plant based, so nobody has to suffer for your stomach. And don’t call it a traditional or classic carbonara. You can call it “pasta alla carbonara” which tells everyone that your dish is SIMILAR to carbonara but is not the same traditional classic. I just don’t like people who spend almost all of their time criticizing others instead of trying to improve his own cooking. If you want to be a real professional and not a gear in the system - don’t be afraid to experiment. And for everyone who didn’t know - you can make every dish plant-based and cook it using the same techniques that are used to cook the traditional version. Just use your brain.

The way Italians make there food is the best and it's more healthy than the fake food on top. But yes you can do what you want, but then call it different, because if you change ingridients its not the same dish anymore. A pasta with cream and bacon simply isn't a Carbonara, it has nothing to do with it. If I order a Carbonara I expect a real Carbonara. Then there are also some stupid things people like to make, which don't even work, like putting oil in the pasta water. I mean how stupid can somebody be. Or washing the pasta after they made it, you wash away all the starch which helps the sauce to stick to the pasta. And finally there is no cheesy goodness on a NY Style Pizza with all the fake "cheese" on it. I would say 99 percent of the people from the US haven't had a real Pizza ones in there life and have no idea how good it is. And most of them are used to cheap, processed and fake ingridients with extremely bad quality, so maybe some wouldn't even like the real thing, because their taste buds are completely destroyed. Btw I'm not a Italian, so it's not only the Italian who think that way, I'm also mad about the fake Italian food here in Austria.
