My mom is a very good cook thank you. I just don’t care for noodles. Not a big fan of carbs except for fresh baked bread and baked goods.

I knew I should have found you and kicked you in the nuts while I was in the Carolina’s.
After all this, yes. Your mama was sauce deficient.

I am sorry to be the one to tell you this.

Italian food is some of the best food out there.

Lasagna. Stuffed shells. Manicotti. Rotini with Italian sausage. Ziti. Fettuccine Alfredo. All tremendous.

It's way more than mere spaghetti or whatever.
I do love lasagna and stuffed shells are good on occasion. The rest. It’s fine. I’m not saying it’s bad food. I just rarely have any desire to eat it.

Yeah. It's good. Except that all that stuff is pretty similar, only presented differently in differently shaped pasta. Like I said earlier, the only big differences in Italian food is tomato based sauce, and a cream based sauce. Red sauce and white sauce. Served on a bunch of different types of pasta.

Doesn't nearly have the variety of other ethnic foods. To only name one, I'd take authentic Mexican food ten times out of ten over Italian.

It is pretty similar, but with variations that make a big difference, different cheeses, different pastas, different sauces like you said, different meats.

You could say similar things about a lot of ethnic foods - Chinese food is basically mostly just meat plus rice plus sauce, Mexican food is all basically meat plus cheeses plus tortillas, etc.

Every food has the basic staple ingredients of the region. But I'd argue that an enchilada is vastly different than tacos. Which are vastly different from chicharrones. Which are vastly different than Tamales. Which are vastly different than fajitas. Etc...

Just my opinion of course, but something like lasagna is basically spaghetti with different shaped pasta with ricotta and mozzarella added. Slightly different, sure. But is it really that different aside from the presentation?

I'm not shitting on Italian food. I like it. I just think it's overrated. Especially for one that is supposed to be one of the world's greatest foods.

The silence about the Sydney soap is deafening as multiple members put in their preorders.

Even if I could see the actual drop of water extracted from her sweet ass hitting the soap, I would not care enough to buy.

This is pretty fuckin’ dumb.

Notice he didn't say anything about a "preorder" tho.
