Why are Italians so dramatic when it comes to food and drinks?
Videos of Italians reacting to people cutting pasta before boiling or Italian guy reacting to his foreigner gf dishwashing his moka pot. Are these just a baits for views or are Italians really that serious about certain things/traditions. Like I don't get it and I find it really annoying like what does it matter if the pasta is cut in half so they fit in the pot when you boil it. It's just stupid "being dramatic just for being dramatic"
Also how overdramatized things like having an pineapple on your pizza or ketchup on a pasta really are? Is it actually pretty common for Italians to eat these, but they just act like its forbidden. Like if you enjoy these things do you really have to do them in secret? I just find the Italian food drama culture a bit childish. Why can't you just let people enjoy and eat whatever they want. If someone thinks pasta is better with ketchup SO WHAT? What about kids? Kids love sweet and I bet they love a pasta with ketchup. Do you get a spanking if you eat that?
I've never been to Italy and the closest thing was when I was in Singapore and there was an authentic Italian restaurant and I just had to taste their lasagna. The sign on the door and on tables said "Please do not ask for ketchup" and all I could think when eating that lasagna was "This would taste so much better with some ketchup". I bet if ketchup was invented in Italy you would have no issue using it in your foods, but because it's not then it's forbitten to use even though it makes the food taste better.
