Spaghetti is just opera ramen

What else is Italy famous for? The Pope? Fascism? Sports cars? Fancy shoes?

Mafia and conservative opinions on women?

The roman empire?

Thinking they invented food. Pretending their grocery stores don't have junk food. Pretending they don't eat garlic bread when they think no one is looking.

Pizza ramen

In America we sometimes caricature France is like the quitters or coward in conflict. In Japan, they see Italy the same way.

Spaghetti is just ramen that surrendered

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Perhaps Plagarized Ramen?

~~How does France factor into it? Spaghetti is Italian, isn't it?~~

Misread the comment, see replies

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is just a pararel between the way Americans see French people to how Japaneses see Italians.

Shit, I totally misread the comment and it didn't click in my head. I didn't know that's how JP views IT, learn something new every day I guess!

Yes, but katsu breading is far superior imo.

Noodles were invented in China, so the inverse would be more accurate.

Ramen is anime lamian. Chinese pulled noodles.

Italy is associated with spaghetti (see spaghetti western)

So the inserse would be "spaghetti ramen"

It's not tho? Ramen is a dish and spaghetti is an ingredient

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ramen noodles are an ingredient.

Also, since pasta noodles originated on the Pacific Coast, it would be more accurate to say that spaghetti is just Gangster Ramen.

Noodles come from Asia, not Italy.

Tomatoes come from America.

So not much in spaghetti is from Italy.
