[quote=DODGER,326235]“I think on my opinion that it do not really matters who invented, but who tuck it to the gold medal podium. Like most everything in the western world, if it does not go thru America on the way to the top; perhaps it is not the top.” JC, statements like that only go to reinforce a widely held view by many in the world and used against you by your enemies that Americans are arrogant and ignorant. Certainly America has lead the world in many areas. Education, Sport, Immigration, to name just a few. Its food culture is not one of them. While I’m having a rant I will also point out that anyone with the smallest grasp of European history would know that Italy as we know it today did not come into being until around 1870. Before that date it was made up of Principalities and City states, all with their own distinct culture and language. There is no way that one City would name a dish after a rival. The French have a word that they use when referring to food and wine. “Terroir” “Fast Food” by the way that it is produced has lost this vital ingredient .It has no soul. Chinese food still has it. It is therefore vital to know where a product originates from otherwise eating just becomes a mechanical action akin to a pit stop. I would have thought with your cultural heritage you would have known better. Dodger. [/quote]
