I'm not going back and forth on this, I don't really care if you supposedly lived there for a year even if it's hypothetically true it doesn't make you italian or knowing the culture and how they only talked about American influence i know for a fact thats a lie most europeans look down on American cuisine and the only thing they like or can be impressed with is the big gluttinous portions. You sound like one of those annoying americans who goes abroad on vacation for a week and thinks theyre a conniseur on that country. Also a lot of larger cities in italy dont like tourism and dont want them there, which i dont get because the money it brings in, so they're not going to cater to their stupidity. The closest thing you'll find to bacon is pancetta and salamis, "pepperoni" in itsly is literally aliced peppers the vegetable on pizza.

McDonald's is everywhere so that point is proving nothing, I have a McDonald's post on my account from Italy when I was there in the summer for my cousins wedding

That's the whole point. They are everywhere, because American influence is everywhere. You seriously going to argue that McDonald's isn't American influence? That's ridiculous. You just aren't being serious about this. Just making up reasons to be outraged.

Seriously find one established Italian chef who doesn't think there's such thing as American influence in modern Italian. Or just recognize the realities all around you. But no, I'm sure it's actually that shitty burgers and fries just happened to develop independently in Italy. Totally not American influence. Come one. What a crazy lie to tell yourself.

You're the one whose outraged I don't know why you're getting all bent out of shape and butt hurt arguing with everyone over American influence, go to bed dude seriously. Go find something else go be passionate about and stand on a hill for. You're literally the definition of an annoying american abroad

Outraged? What are you talking about? How am I outraged? I think it's dumb that people downvote very legitimate statements, but whatever. Not really my business. The outraged are the people who are all "No. This one place on Earth is somehow free from American business interests."

Quit it with that troll garbage. You can argue without being a jerk. Just don't. You know jack squat about me except that I recognize the impact American cultural imperialism has. Don't go into that insult garbage. Disagree however much you want. Upvote and downvote as you like. Don't be a jerk. I haven't been rude to anyone. Just uncalled for.
