"No, come on, what is it?
With cream...
I'm afraid to eat it.
No, this isn't carbonara.
This is overcooked pasta with cream."
"No, dai, ma che cos'è?
Ma con la panna...
Ma poi ho paura di mangiarlo.
No, questa non è la carbonara.
Questa è pasta scotta con la panna."

He really looked like he needed a hug after trying that "carbonara."

[@EasyItalian]

Ne avrei avuto molto bisogno 🤣🤣

A hug? It looked he needed a scotch!

[@Iamcwinge1234]

Matteo's gentle disgust at everything was hilarious, thanks for posting.

[@josephinemarino1358]

Thanks so much for making this Sicilian-American laugh so hard on a rainy, gloomy day in Brooklyn, NY. Your expressions of disgust, Matteo, were worthy of a film award.

[@mamascarlatti]

SO funny!!! I remember telling colleagues in Milano how the English ate tinned spaghetti on white toast and I don't think I have ever provoked such horror in a workplace before or since.

[@peterwesson7324]

Tell them about baked bean pizza that should trigger them

[@jerryoshea3116]

So much of it is about exposure! ..I mean if he was presented with some Asian( Indian or Tai) Dishes would he still complain? And Italians swear their Espesso( Coffee in general) is the best,but Colombians( and other South& Central American countries) might beg to differ! It's the same with Beef..Now canned Spaghetti and the real thing are ' Poles apart'

[@casadesabbath]

I am laughing so hard at this. I love how Italians are so faithful to their traditions! This was absolutely hilarious though....

[@nylixneylix8785]

Well, some food combinations just don't go well with each other, it's outside of culture/tradition.

[@b13ne]

@Bryan Robb Ahah, it's true that we italians are not very "open minded" about food (at least in our majority), but you english-speaking friends don't have to feel embarassed!

[@gabrielesantucci6189]

​@@b13ne Dai...qui non è questione di "menti aperte"...qui c'è la devastazione culinaria!🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

[@tomangelo5939]

Oh, my God - "Here is mozzarella from the Lombardy region of Italy." Matteo: "You can't do this." This is hilarious, bravissimo!

[@frenchwithcousteaux2138]

This honestly was the funniest video I've seen from a language learning video. Please more "cross cultural" videos like this!

[@markcass4700]

As the son of an English father (Southampton) and an Italian mother (Bologna!) I grew up with affection for both places. For example, we always referred to food in England, very affectionately, as "una cosa schifosa" and even Dad described a British pub, very affectionately, to the family in Italy, as "a very nice place to have a beer, glance briefly at the food, and have another beer". Sto scherzando, ovviamente... più o meno. Mi mancano tanto.. and all the beautiful food...and all the laughs. You do a brilliant job with these episodes. Complimenti! I hope to jump in when time allows.

[@bbmcgee33]

Ma dai! Do you ever come to Bologna? 😊

[@hojomomma2319]

My Italian husband and I can't stop laughing!

[@tinimunson1242]

Matteo is your husband?

[@ttuck9603]

That was great. Love how Matteo was holding back laughing when some of the food was presented to him. Molto Bene!!!!

[@silverdawnbooks]

I've never laughed so hard at a language video in my life. As an American who grew up eating carbonara with eggs and (American-style) bacon, I was pretty thrown when I ordered carbonara in the UK and got a bowl of noodles in cream with ham, onions, and peas. Really wanted to see Matteo's reaction to the canned ravioli though!

[@tayebizem3749]

Me encanta el italiano I'm really in love with this language

[@jeffharvey677]

Matteo è proprio un comico naturale! Ho imparato molto nell'ultima scuola e non vedo l'ora di quella successiva.

[@EasyItalian]

Grazie mille!!! 😊

[@christopherlupone9941]

Sono d'accordo. Matteo è molto comico. È divertente da guardare.

[@axsos]

È napoletano. Sono comici di natura, 'nel bene e nel male'! 😆

[@AC........]

The last savoury dish is chicken parmo - it hails from Middlesbrough but is popular throughout the North East of England and generally eaten after a night out - i.e. when absolutely sh*it faced. Traditionally it's deep fried breadcrumbed chicken fillet, with bechamel sauce and melted cheese on top. Basically a heart attack in a box 😂

[@spiritosa0123]

Non mi stanco mai di vedere l'espressione e di un italiano dato un cappuccino dopo mezzogiorno LOL

[@matthewcoombs3282]

I love watching Matteo's face after each tasting. So expressive and says more than words can in English or Italian. I really like Chicken with Pesto, when I told an Italian work colleague this she had the same bemusement that Matteo has with the Chicken and Pasta mixture. I made fun of her with her food rules but I guess us Brits need to bow to the Italians on this subject as they have on of the World's great cuisine.

[@user-gq1xv4vm6s]

Wonderful video, I am just a beginner in Italian, so I had to read English subtitles, but your face expressions and gestures said more than words

[@user-cs6io6sk6m]

I am usually laughing to Matteo but i have never laughed this much as in this section, Matteo was fantastic😂😂😂

[@then_comes_dudley9142]

as an american that recently moved to rome: these videos have been super helpful for language learning. this one makes me feel much better about my italian cooking (also i don't know whose house this was filmed at, but their book collection is 12/10! love that there's a noma "cookbook" AND uzumaki)

[@sibelalbro]

Matteo, you should be a comedian! You are a natural!

[@unholyallen9572]

This is top tier content. Bravi! Siete molto creativi e devo dire che con Matteo l'intrattenimento è garantito!!

[@domSlctvDstrtn]

Loved this! More of Matteo being politely confused/disgusted by non-italian things!

[@emielabalahin465]

🤣🤣🤣 Mi dispiace tanto, Matteo! Ho sofferto con te. 😭😭😭 Comunque il video è molto divertente. Grazie, ragà!

[@alessandrofrison8152]

La convenzione di Ginevra vieta assolutamente la tortura 😂😂😂😂😂

[@suem.1392]

10 months later and I'm commenting because I love this so much!! I'm not even learning Italian, I am here from Easy Spanish. Starbucks names are hilarious! So funny how Matteo became Matto (crazy). Great video!

[@EasyItalian]

Thank you so much!

[@praesentius]

It's worth mentioning that not only is "Italian" food outside of Italy often originating with Italian descendants who left Italy, but some foods made in the past at some point and have since fallen out of fashion. For example, Matteo mentions that they don't cook with creme anymore. Also, things like Vodka sauces were popular for a time in the 80s, but persist in popularity outside of Italy.

[@squeezy99]

Parmo, the national dish of my home town, Middlesbrough

[@johnhopkins7954]

Non ridevo cosi' tanto da anni! Povero Matteo!

[@semolinaulike]

Very funny! As an English man I recognise all of those terrible concoctions. Although.. it should be stressed that they really worked hard to find the very worst examples available 😂 As a side note.. while 'Neapolitan' ice cream in the UK has always confused me, I find it equally ironic that in Napoli one can purchase 'English Soup' flavour ice cream.. what is that?!

[@frankbranchini1698]

I don't know why it is called zuppa inglese but it is a dessert with custard and sponge cake. It is really good. My mother used to make it. I would imagine it is like an English triffle.

[@josegalotti2932]

@@frankbranchini1698 i can't believe it!! This is the very first time i find someone with my mother's surname👏👏👏. Welcome into the family Frank😊😊. By the way, where are you from? My mother's family emigrated from Italy to Argentina. Nice to meet you🖐

[@Mirtillas1]

I suppose “zuppa inglese” is what you call custard in English as it comes from England, maybe?

[@pennypiper7382]

@@frankbranchini1698 trifle. Yum.😋

[@christopherlupone9941]

Si può comprare “Neapolitan ice cream” anche negli Stati Uniti.

[@garyb8454]

Brilliant! Haven't laughed so much at "British/Italian cuisine." A video just on British food specialties like pickled eggs, and black pudding would be just as funny imo.

[@paulahorvath7187]

Wonderful! I loved this!

[@nika_2222]

uno di migliori episodi! congratulazioni per la vostra creatività! 😁

[@mossbrg5]

This had me in stitches!!

This felt a bit like watching a puppy get hit with a pool noodle repeatedly, but I couldn't stop giggling.

[@Michelle-if6jn]

Grazie Ragazzi, Mi piace questo video molto. Ho riso ad alta voce ! Povero Matteo, era molto coraggioso. 🤣

Loved this video! 😂 Hilarious! When Matteo says something like didn't drink the cappuccino but instead I drank Prosecco di Kylie Minogue" was so funny 😆 Loving your videos ragazzi! Watching every day to learn 🇮🇹 Grazie mille 😁

How can you even think of eating toasts with spagetti or pasta on top? 🤯 Who got that idea? I'm not Italian and I'm horrified just by the look of it 😳

[@gillianberretti-mcmurtrie2139]

I literally cried laughing but everything is true! I remember it all! 😂😂😅😅

[@michaelpratt3264]

Hilarious. Era il più divertente puntata finche ora. Mi ha fatto ridere ogni volta Matteo ha provato qualcosa. Bravo. È vero... quasi tutti questi piatti se trova anche nei supermercati Americani, Canadese, ecc. Alcuni sono meglio.... altri peggio. Questa spiega perchè i turisti sono confusata al momento di arrivare in Italia. Non trovano il cibo Italiano in Italia. Hahahaha!

[@lazios]

Matteo pur vivendo a Milano, sembra conoscere e riconoscere solo le ricette del sud come cucina italiana (lo so che ci giochi su, tranquillo). 😉 Lo scrivo soprattutto per la cotoletta fatta a pizza (come la chiama lui); la prima cosa che "doveva" venirgli in mente è la bolognese, meno famosa della milanese ma comunque conosciuta in Italia (lo so che è diversa bolognesi, ho detto che gli doveva venire in mente, non che lo fosse). C'è da dire che siete davvero simpatici, voglio complimentarmi con Katie, non so da quanto tempo è in Italia ma raramente si sentono madrelingua inglesi capaci di avere la sua pronuncia (almeno io ne ho conosciuti pochissimi). 👍🍺

[@davidarcher8195]

Well done Matteo for trying, and not being too rude. Previously you tried coffee in London and thought it was ok. At the risk of causing a shock to you, why is most milky coffee in Italy made with long-life milk? For me, it is the ruination of good coffee in Italy and I stick with espresso which is uniformly great.
