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

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.

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

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

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.
