You asked for it, here it is. A little bit of truth in a lighthearted video about Italian foods that don't exist in Italy and are not Italian... not even a little bit!
So what are some food that are considered "Authentic Italian" here in the United States, but don't really exist in Italy? Here is my list.
Are you surprised? I want to hear from you and feel free to expand this list if I have left anything out!
Love,

So many good ideas! Thank you Rashed! Thank you so much ✨🥰😉
I’m Armenian, and it’s amazing how similar eating habits we have with Italians! Love 🇮🇹 forever
❤️❤️
So interesting! Can you consider making a video on the basic Italian staples/pantry staples!?
It would definitely be a fun one!
All so true!! Brava! I remember when I arrived here in the US and people asked me to share the real recipe for spaghetti Alfredo...nobody believed me when I said I never heard of it!
😂😂
I love this so much! Please make this a series!
Thank you Nadia, I should do a while category of these, they are so much fun to do!😂😘
Awesome video! I was shocked by most of them, thank you for this information ❤️
🥰😊
Loved this! Thanks
😁❤️
Another charming post ...I knew all if this which I was very happy about .another great video !
Thank you so much!
Fantastic video! Thank you, Annalisa J!❤🌞
❤️🙏🏻😂
This was excellent content. I learned so much.
🙏🏻 thank you so much !
Loved this one, very interesting! Love your hair 💕
Thank you Gillian! ❤️
Fascinating! Especially finding out about garlic bread!
Right!!✨❤️
OMG! Mind blown! Specially about the garlic and meat mixed with pasta! Great video as always!
Farah, look in the description box, I have linked a funny video about the use of garlic and how we use it in Italy! It’s great. ❤️❤️❤️
When Italian immigration was in full throttle the immigrants didn’t have access to certain authentic foods. I believe they adapted and hence this is how some of the Italian American food was born. I’m a descendant of Italian Americans, and I was raised on traditional Italian American food like spaghetti and meatballs. The history of the immigrants and their food adaptations is fascinating. It may not be traditional Italian, but it’s delicious. Of course I’m vegan now so I adapt what I grew up with to my vegan lifestyle. Everything in life and within the parameters of history evolves. Thank you for a lovely video. Love the green eyeshadow. 🌱
Rose this is indeed fantastic !! Thank you so much for sharing, I definitely want to go deeper ❤️❤️ like you said very fascinating!♥️🥰
Fantastic video! The info on bread, dipping sauce, and how garlic is used blew me away. I must admit, no pepperoni on a pizza was like a stake through the heart, lol! Thank you for the excellent content!
😂😂❤️ yes! There is a great video on Garlic by a channel called Pasta Grammar!! Find it it’s funny!😂😂
Very insightful and will try a few tips you mentioned. Yes, there’s garlic bread here in Germany.
You look fabulous, I love your hair!
I thought I remembered ! (I do like it!!!)
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️🥰
Love the education so that if any one visits Italy this is what to expect when dining there. It is not surprising that the a lot of it is dishes/ideas where made up here in the US...I would think that simple and seasonal dishes made from scratch with fresh ingredients would taste so good! A college student I know who is studying in Italy raves on how good the food/wine is...lucky her! Another great video! Show us a pasta dish made with something in season! You can make us Italian! You already gave us a pasta and coffee lesson! Fyi...Santa is treating me a 6 cup mocha pot! Till next Sunday...❤❤❤
Thank you! I am glad you found it useful! ✨ yay for the Moka!! 🎁☕️✨
Thanks again Annalisa what great content. Love your hair. 🤓🇨🇦
Thank you Cheryl!
What an entertaining vdo... thoroughly enjoyed...and yes I do have one thing to add..your makeup looks fantastic... may I know the lipstick shade?
Thank you!!!
The lipstick is Chanel Lea Beiges in Deep
That was such a great video! I am now wondering what my husband will eat in Italy when we go this summer. The NO list consists of all his favorites. Maybe he is not as Italian as he thinks. I can't wait for him to see this video. Thank you.
I died laughing reading this comment! 😂😂😂❤️
Happy to see how you debunk the myths around Italian pasta 🍝 and pizza 🍕
I didn't know about the bread and oil myth as well as chicken combinations. 👀 I love this idea of bringing out the essence of the main dish ingredient rather than destroying it in a flood of sauce!
Always pleasure watching you! ❤️ Sending hugs! 🤗
I am so happy you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻😂❤️
Thank you! You just validated my argument with garlic! Exactly how I use it.. when I do
Ha ha ha! I put a link to a video in the description box that does go into details! It’s funny!😀
@@AnnalisaJ will definitely be sharing it to enlighten those in my circle who think they’re vampires!😆
That was such an interesting video! I was blown away to learn that dipping the bread in olive oil and vinegar was not an Italian thing. Also, no pepperoni in pizza 🍕? It was also interesting to note that you don’t use as much garlic or cheese as we do. And the Italian dressing is not really Italian! Such great content! Thanks for another great Sunday morning video! I always learn something new!😘
I am so happy you enjoyed it! ❤️☕️✨
Thank you for education and, oh my gosh, that Margherita pizza looked so good! Would you consider doing a video where you show us how to make that?
Suzy I can do a home version. The real version requires a wood burning oven at 700++ degree Celsius ! 😂❤️
Great videos!Could you recommend a favorite Italian cookbook please?
I am looking… I use my grandma! Maybe I will publish it ❤️
This is not Italian but inspired Catelli's Restaurant Geyserville Ca . I love their chicken parmesan so good.Great food
Ciao, Annalisa. I am a new subscriber. I just want to thank you for such amazing contents in various themes. I enjoy watching you a lot. Take care. 🥰
Thank you so much, this means so much… for as much as I tried to niche down I just can’t… I am passionate about so many different things! 😂✨❤️
Oh, this video and the comments made my day! I've never been a fan of chicken in pasta...it ruins it.
Your new hairstyle is very flattering; love the fringe.
I'm not Italian but learned a lot by living there as a child. Some things just stay with you...
Bravo for another educational and fun Italian lesson.
Lori thank you so much! 😂❤️ yes they definitely stay with you!😁
I served a French Canadian friend a drink in my new "French jelly jar glass" (this is the name that was given) and he laughed "What is this? ...I've never seen such a glass! Americans put the label "French" in front of everything!" And it was true at the time! But the look on his face was hilarious🤷♂️🤦♂️🤣 I remember my Italian father rubbing garlic on toast saying "See, THIS is how we do!" I loved it! I love him! I love these vids! I love you! Loving these Sunday mornings...thank you Annalisa😘 BTW you're looking radiantly beautiful💃
Love you too!! I laughed out loud!😂😂❤️🙏🏻
Bravo!!!👏 👏👏
Or my personal favourites, the Canadian tuxedo or Canadian bacon. We Canadians do not know what Americans are talking about! Or Canadian whiskey!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@maryokeefe5351 Ha! I wonder who's behind all of these fallacies 🤔
Love your positive thinking and smile 💘💘💘
😂😂
I kept saying, “Yes!” throughout this video. Thank you for this important Public Service Announcement. ❤️ (also, the green eyeshadow is lovely)
😂❤️ thank you 💚
Thank you for educating us on the topic of authentic Italian food, Annalisa! What a lesson 😂😅. I had no idea that pepperoni was not a thing in Italy, neither dipping bread in olive oil. Amazing, how many misconceptions on “Italian” food are out there in USA.
Larissa, it’s such an eye opener, the same would be for what is called American food in Italy… definitely not the same as here! ❤️❤️❤️
@@AnnalisaJ Thanks, Annalisa. Just what I was wondering.
An excellent, excellent video. We are going to upgrade our pantry. Do you ever buy Garafalo pasta made in Naples? We love it.
Yes garofalo is amazing, my number one when I can find it is Rummo! 👑of pasta!❤️
@@AnnalisaJ Thank you for your response. Now we will look for Rummo and have a taste comparison. I think my husband will like to try giardiniera.
Mine loves giardiniera in sandwiches!
Omg! Anna( can I call you that?) you look so gorgeous in this eye makeup.😍
And you thank you for filling us in on authentic Italian cuisine. This video made me hungry 😋
😂😂
Loved it! Also, can you make one on pronunciation of Italian foods and dishes? There's a funny video of Måneskin answering this on a radio talk show, but I think it deserves proper exploration.
I love Måneskin!!! Yesss
@@AnnalisaJ I love them. They got me to learning Italian again, although it's a challenge to try to learn Italian from a guy who's capable of turning even a lyrical ballad into rap 😀
Loved this video! That Margherita looked divine. How about coffee rules? I have noticed that often, the espresso macchiato here is made incorrectly with waaaaay too much milk / milk foam. It drives me sooo crazy!
I made a few videos on rules and one specific on coffee. Cappuccino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk, 1/3 foam and latte all it is, is Espresso and milk most of the times to your liking. Also no cappuccino after 11:30ish, as it is too heavy (like a meal). ❤️
@@AnnalisaJ oh lovely!! I’ll check out that video, too! I just love Italian coffee culture ☕️
The original alfredo pasta dish ( just butter and cheese) is actually worth a try, very nutty and savoury.
The Italian one is simply a little butter and Parmesan we do it for kids, but it’s not drenched in gooey sauce… it’s literally a sprinkle ❤️😘
@@AnnalisaJ American alfredo sauce is basically bechamel with cheese and maybe garlic, kind of like macaroni and cheese. When the pandemic hit, it was impossible to find the bottled version in Canada and people were so upset it made the news.
Excellent video Annalisa, you are mostly correct however there are a few exceptions I believe depending on which region you come from. I think each region of Italy has many variations of Italian food and this is where these (more exaggerated) dishes are being drawn from. My parents are from Sicily. My mother would make garlic bread, she would refresh leftover stale bread by breaking it into pieces, putting into the oven then rubbing garlic on them and lastly drizzling a little olive oil on top. Delicious hot crunchy garlic bread! Also Pasta e broccoli is definitely an Italian meal, it’s delicious with a little oil drizzled on top - try it, you will love it. Lastly, when I was in Venice we ate at a very up market restaurant and as a pre dinner snack they served us dipping bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. What I’m trying to say is that possibly these meals do exist (or are derived from) somewhere in Italy, it’s just impossible for even an Italian to know all of them. Love your videos ❤️
Thank you Gianna, yes someone else mentioned the orecchiette with broccoli… which now I am intrigued! Thank you for sharing these with such class and from a teaching perspective. I appreciate it ❤️🥰🤗
Great video. I loved it!! and OMG your eye shadow!!! Tell me, please? lol
I am having so much fun with colorful eyeshadows 😂 this one is called Humid from MAC (it is one of their “frost” shadows, it’s beautiful 💚)
@@AnnalisaJ Stunning. Enjoy. xx
How about a video of some of your favorite Italian classic? I'd love to know!
Ohhh, yes yes and yes!!
Love this! So much of this I learned from mia nonna and my family. Chicken on pizza? 🤢 No, just...no. My family always ate salad last, in true Italian fashion. Really enjoyed this Annalisa!🍝
Bianca yes, always eat salad last, it’s because it cleans the palate! 👍🏻🥰❤️
love your eyeshadow!💋
It’s fun!!! It’s Humid by MAC
Love your green eyeshadow with the red lips! :)
Thank you! Had some fun 💚 my “Italian flag” make up 😂
I didn't notice at first. Green and red is still a lovely combination.
Thanks for clearing that up! People were thinking I was crazy....LOL
😂😂❤️
when I visit my mom's family the never have pizza.....they always have a sit down dinner with an apertif, soup, brushetta, main entree, pasta, salad, dessert, fruit, cafe and then one hour later spaghetti with olive oil.......
We only eat pizza once in while in Italy, not as often as people think! Maybe once a week! ❤️
I had dipping sauce in Italy, it’s American inspired 😁
I also had pasta vodka sauce 😁
Some things just taste good although it’s adopted and inspired
Also some restaurants in Italy start catering to tourists, so they brought in some of these dishes. But definitely not Italian. 😂
Love, love, love your hair today. So complimentary.
Thank you Laurie. I wanted to cut them and then decided I will let it grow. 🥰
Wow thank you for such great lesson! You should make a real Italian cook book or TH-cam channel 🙏. And like always so beautiful! Love your eyeshadow ❤️
Ohhh I have been thinking about it for a while, about a channel… I always ask myself; would people find it useful? Or find it interesting?
Food for thoughts !😂😂
@@AnnalisaJ Of course it would be useful! I would be the first subscriber
Thank you so much Sandra!❤️❤️
We just arrived home from Tuscany & Florence & Yes u r right…. Never saw the Word Pepperoni on any menu , or Alfredo, Pizza was delicious but hard to find because it’s mostly a summer thing, not even Polenta which I live but must be only in a few regions… & the Pasta is served much more Aldente or less cooked then here in the states…. My son makes fresh Pasta for restaurants etc so we r Lucky to enjoy fresh pasta frequently…. Love Italy , Buona Giornata 🇮🇹
Pasta it’s definitely Al dente and Alfredo is definitely now the same, our version is a bit of butter and Parmesan, not a glue thick sauce! Never seen it in Italy!
I love it!
Need a part 2
😂😂👍🏻
It's so interesting how different nationalities of food get changed in America. I wonder if different ingredients happen to be on hand or unavailable so non-Italians don't feel the traditional way about the dish. Anyway, very interesting! Thanks for sharing
I know that has definitely a lot to do with this. When I moved here no one, literally no one knew what Nutella was. Now they say to put it on apples and pretzels 🤮… 😂😂 I love Nutella but it has its place ✨❤️
Salami pizza made it to Spain, I must say. Thank for the video!
❤️😂 we have a version in Italy very different type of salame, called Pizza alla Diavola.
I love this video and your eye makeup! I’m from Chile and I have been living in the US more than half of my life. When I moved here I thought I was eating the real Italian food, until I watched some videos about Italy and the traditional Italian cuisine, but you covered a lot in this video. In my last trip to Chile, I gave s**t to my nephew who loves to eat pizza with ketchup lol ☺️
Thank you so much! 🤯 pizza with Ketchup… how can I unread this 😂😂❤️
That was so funny and interesting 😂🤣😂
And yes, I am shocked ! 🤪
😂😂❤️
I'd love to see more cooking and recipe videos! Also, a hair styling tutorial and more outfit videos❤
Oh I love all of these suggestions!! I am preparing some amazing content for next year, with more details and consistency and I am so excited!😂🎉❤️
Buongiorno! I love that green eye shdow on you. 💚
I just found your channel and I'm loving it.
I just subscribed.
I really enjoyed your videos.
I was wondering if you could talk about your nails? They looked so beautiful in your how to instantly look put together video.
Thank you so much! I had a gel manicure in the video. Maybe I will make a nail care video ✨
That sounds awesome ( :
I love your content, it's so refreshing.
Buona notte/giornata ⭐🌛🌞
🙏🏻🥰
The bread/dipping oil - could that be a regional thing? I’ve spent a loooooot of time in Rome and most of the restaurants I’ve been to there do it. (I sometimes have to ask for no aceto because I can’t even go near vinegar!) I should say as well that I generally try to avoid the more touristy restaurants/I don’t go out to eat in the super touristy areas… and if I see a tourist menu I run!
This is so interesting.
😁
A funny thing is I somehow discovered that Dorset Drum (from UK) cheese is incredible with gnocchi. I have bought myself a gnocchi paddle as an early Christmas present. Every year I grow far too many potatoes (along with everything else) and I imagine I will be making quite a few duds before I get the hang of it :)
Heather have fun! I love gnocchi 😘
Hi Annalisa, what an interesting video. I have never seen these dishes or eaten them.
The only thing, I have to say is that dipping fresh bread in olive oil, very good olive oil, is very tasty.
When I am in Croatia I love to do it and having fresh tomatos with a little salt and pepper. Hmmm....
But now I saw so many pasta, I am hungry 😂👍Take care!!
😂😂
@@AnnalisaJ A video like yours is a distraction in these times of Corona here in Germany!
Day or 2 day old, hard crusty bread, olive oil & salt was a favorite snack for my Nonna and myself when I was a kid. Pane sai olio (I’m sure I mangled the spelling).
She cooked a lot with “greens” that she added something called “fat back”. Maybe it was pork fat? I know it wasn’t bacon.
Nonna cooked a LOT of fish, raised her own veggies & fruit. The first time I saw her catch a chicken 😬. I was around 7 or 8 years old. She also made something called basket cheese. It was kind of sweet, bland and creamy.
She was born in Italy around 1887 and came over “on the boat”….😉♥️
Yes pane sale e olio!!! (Sometimes I eat it with fresh radishes). But not served in restaurants with balsamic and such. ❤️🥰
@Vera thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I hope there really is Caprese salad in Italy. I made it all summer with my tomato harvest going strong, haha! This was a great video and funny too! Years ago on my trip to Rome I did get to eat real Italian pizza and wow, nothing like it. That said, I have been known to enjoy a pizza with "Canadian bacon" and little wedge shaped yellow things on top :o)
Yes there is a caprese (we just call it Caprese). It’s my favorite!!! 😂❤️❤️
@@AnnalisaJ Oh, I'm so sorry, I will go correct that!
Thank you so much for all the information it was great. Now my family will believe me no garlic in the Italian food
😂😂 it’s true!! I am glad you enjoyed it ✨
In Rome I had a grilled tuna with shaved Parmesan on top 😁
There are some cheeses that go well with seafood. In Genova I had octopus salad with Parmesan 😎
Lucia wow!!! 😂
@@AnnalisaJ what’s important to me is that it tastes good 😁❤️
What a wonderful video, Annalisa!!! I was waiting for it and I am so happy. And I absolutely love your hair !!! When we traveled to Italy we ate in the restorant (once!! ) that most definitely did American version of Italian food for tourists witch made me very sad, we even left. It was creasy and just bad.
On a different day I noticed 3 italian ladies greeting each other and going toward a small restorant in the narrow street and asked them if they would recomendation a more authentic place to eat and they said that they like where they are going. We went to the same restaurant and we had a wonderful simple meal. We were so happy.
I truly appreciate your video!!! Thank you so much. Since I am SoCal as you are, can you recommend is a good italian restaurant?
Also, I have to thank you for your pasta sauce recipe as it is now my secret weapon. Just yesterday I made it again and everyone was asking what's in it, it is so good. I am not telling. Lol!!!! But I did say I learned it from my northern Italian friend;))))
Marina, I am so happy you enjoyed the video. Yes the tiny local spots are usually the best and most unassuming!
In San Marcos there is an AMAZING Italian restaurant called Amalfi Cucina Italiana, they are all Italian and the chef was the world pizza champion. They make amazing homemade pasta, seafood dishes and some meat as well. And of course the amazing pizza! I definitely recommend it! My favorite spot! ❤️❤️
@@AnnalisaJ yeah!!! I am so happy. I will go there. Can I tell them where I got the referral from?:)))))
Absolutely!! Ask for Chef Marcello! He is amazing. ❤️❤️❤️ I recommend going upstairs as they have the full menu and it’s beautiful!!
@@AnnalisaJ we are on 12/17❤💃💃❤
🥳 so exciting!!!!
When I was a child I had my Italian friend over for lunch. My grandmother put some ketchup on spaghetti and served it to us. I said, “Grandma, you can’t give her spaghetti with ketchup on it, she’s Italian.” My friend insists to this day that it was delicious. I thought she was just being polite. After this video, I feel a little better. 🤣
😂😂 Jackie this is a great story! Thank you for the comment! I am laughing out loud!😘❤️
You are always delightful
😘🙏🏻
Hi Annalisa, Wonderful video like always.
I agree with you 💯 %.
I love pasta carbonera like the one Comisario Montalbano ate on his program.
My favorite pasta that I make at home is to boil water with a little salt and onion. When it is al dente, I'll remove the water, put batter in a pan, and put my pasta in it and then I put fresh shredded parmesan.
DELICIOSO.
I love pizza with ham and pineapple. 😏
Have a wonderful week.
Love
Ester ❤
Ester, Pasta Grammar has a similar recipe with the onions! Their channel is really funny!
Yes la Carbonara is delicious ✨😉😙
Gractzi
So many surprises there!
😂😂
My grandma was from Ischia and she would always just lightly brown cloves of garlic in the olive oil and then discard them. Also, she would rub a clove in the wooden salad bowl and then discard it before putting salad greens in it. Off topic but, have you been back to Italy in the past two years? I was wondering if you had any tips on traveling there in this crazy time. Thanks!
Yesss my grandma did too! I have not, I couldn’t even make it to my moms service because it happened when everything was on lockdown. I usually try to go at least once or twice a year!
@@AnnalisaJ I am so sorry that you couldn't be at your mother's service. I can empathize.
This was fun. I was surprised by learning that you don't use much garlic in Italian cuisine.
I think this is the biggest shocker for many! In the description box I put a link for a funny video that really goes into details! 🥰🤣
Finally! Very funny video and so trueeee!! Spaghetti with meatballs has nothing to do with Spaghetti al ragù!! In Italy we cook the ragù for hours...hours!!! Very slowly for many, many hours. That's why we also spend a lot of time sitting at the table for lunch or dinner...because we are tired 😅 Pizza Margherita is my favourite, too. I discovered the pineapple when I was young and I was in the UK. I didn't see from real a pineapple before in my Italian life and I found it on a pizza 😂 it was too exotic to be included in our dishes, even as a fruit dish. Annalisa, you are from one of the best Italian area in terms of food (not only for food)! Emilia Romagna and its famous tortellini!! ❤️
Cate yesss!! We have some of the best food! Forbes also called it the best food in the world! Mmmhhh tortellini! ✨🥰😘
I’m happy to say I knew most of these but the bread and olive oil in the beginning of a meal that one hurt not gonna lie 😂. Also a question: I remember once cChefGino D’Campo said that in Italy you do not combine onion and garlic in a dish you do one or the other that is heartbreaking for me (because that is the rule for most dishes in Spanish cooking is to use both) is that true?
Also super surprised that spanish cooking use more garlic than you! 😱
So interesting to see how Italian American cuisine has evolved to its own styles and traditions of cooking.
For me the onion and garlic would 'fight'. It would be like putting chives with garlic, it just wouldn't go.
Tatiana, yes Heather is correct, they would fight in a dish! ✨🥰
My family fried spaghetti and we eat it with bolognese. In the middle the spaghetti cake is worm and soft like heaven. So good!!! I don't know what is the italian name off this dish but this is a family dish from Italy with in my Italian side of the family.
We also eat it with sofrito
Yum! I love any baked pasta dish!!! ❤️
OMG Hawaii Pizza nooo. I actually found it on a menu in a restaurant in Positano!! When I asked the waiter why he dramatically waved his arms and said, 'It's a for the tourists. My father in Naples, he a killa me.' Lovely video as always Annalisa ❤
@@luciemedici I did not know that. 👍😊
Yes just because Italians won’t eat it doesn’t mean restaurants won’t put it on the menu to attract tourists! (Which then they go home thinking it’s “real Italian food” because they had it in Italy 😂😂😂)
Well this was interesting!
😂😂❤️
There is a local cafe near me in UK which on the menu calls Ham & Pineapple pizza "The Disgrace"
😂😂😂 priceless!
We eat garlic bread, pain aillé, in southwest France.
Yesss!
Loved this Annalisa, so funny. We Australians commit similar crimes against Italian food.
😂😂😂 thank you! Question for you: vegemite? How do you properly use it?
@@AnnalisaJ it's an acquired taste. You spread it thinly on buttered toast, English muffins or crumpets.
Yes a very thin scrape on buttered toast or bread. Very very salty and savoury, xlnt with avocado on toast, or a fried egg or cheese.
@@trishpaterson3206 yes, vegemite & cheese is an old classic combination. I love vegemite topped with smashed avocado as well.
Some of the most memorable dishes I remember having in Italy as a child were gelato that came in what looked like egg cartons with so many different flavors, fresh tomato and red onion salads every day, vitello tonnato (something totally unexpected but we all gobbled it up) a chicken dish at a restaurant that was literally a half chicken grilled with rosemary, nothing else on the plate, grilled sausage cooked outside and lots of polenta. It was all amazing. I hate how Italian food gets so stereotyped. It's so much more
Christie, polenta YESSSS! Also yes our vitello tonnato is one of my favorite dishes! So many memories you gave me!❤️❤️❤️✨
@@AnnalisaJ oh I'm so glad to have brought up happy memories for you!! They are wonderful memories for me too!! My family lives in Vicenza, not too far from your hometown of Bologna, but a lot of my ancestors came from Emiglia Romagna- Piacenza, Podenzano, Arzignano. It was the most beautiful place I've ever been
We have the best food in the universe!!! ✨🥰 and the area is beautiful too!❤️❤️❤️
No shocks for me! Thank you for educating the world. I was once corrected by a young Aussie waiter when I ordered bruschetta. He replied "you mean the brooshetta?" Me: yes, the BRUSCHETTA!!
One thing I would disagree with is the broccoli with pasta. My Sicilian mother cooks it as well as the Pugliese Orrechiette con le Rape.
Teresa, yes I made a small correction note in the description box about the broccoli! My bad 😉✨😂
lol my eyes have been opened! i have to say i was very surprised about the ketchup one as i think American ketchup is absolutely disgusting. i love your videos! you are the epitome of feminine, class, and elegance!
I am not a ketchup person either 😂😂 thank you so much for the love ✨❤️🥰
Love your videos! Can't say I am surprised pineapple pizza is not a thing in Italy! Have to admit I still like it tho
Ha ha the pineapple thing! Where many friendships went to die 😂😂 I am jk!! 🥰😘
@@AnnalisaJ 🤫 It's my horrible secret only revealed online💖
😂😂🤣
In Australia there wasn't too much of a debate about pineapple on pizza, it was generally accepted. Then with the Gen Z social media explosion it became an issue 😂
We used to have "Hawaain" packs at the chicken shop and fish n chip shop which meant your chook or fish n chips came with a battered pineapple ring and a batter banana. These days I never see thr battered banana :(
Hawaiian Pizza is the ham and pineapple, and a Hawaiian burger has a pineapple ring on it hahaha. I guess we never really attributed the pineapple to Italy now I write this!
😂😂 I love reading this comment ❤️
Omg this was hilarious especially when you shook your hands to tell us off. 🤣
😂🥰❤️
Seems here the bulk of Italian cuisine is based on a limited number of ingredients. Tomato sauce. pasta, garlic, pizza, mozzarella etc are the basis of the Italian American cuisine
Although present in Italy, they comprise only a fraction of what is available.
So many Italian dishes are virtually unknown in US. First dishes like Canederli, cansunziei, sopa coada. Or second course like Vitello Tonnato, pastissada de caval, roasted guinea or wild boar, fiorentina steaks, bollito misto. Just to name a few. These dishes do not conform to what is usually seen as typical “Italian” food
Very true!!! Awww I love il vitello tonnato e all the other amazing dishes you mentioned! Now I am so hungry 😂❤️❤️
Pineapple on pizza 😝. I am Italian and don't like heavy garlic and American think what kind of Italian are you..a true one . Enjoy your videos very much.
🤣🤣❤️ so true!!
that balsamic and olive oil thing i think its a trend from tv chefs in England? i think jamie oliver might be the cause of a lot of british trends... He made italian food very popular in the uk during the 90s before then i think people were more into french food..? now i think there are probably more italian style restaurants than any other worldwide, i might be wrong but foreign italian food has become one of the most popular for home cooking and dining out. here in france there is always a pizza restaurant and pizza take away in every town and village even... we have mobile vans with pizza ovens inside them pretty much everywhere. but in france there are even weirder combinations of pizza topping... they have either tomato based or creme based... one popular topping is creme and salmon, another is potato... yes just pizza, with sliced potato on top and cheese...! the 4 cheese pizza in france omg it's absolutely full of cheese. i've never been to america but i watch so many cooking channels and i have seen pretty much every kind of american pizza through documentaries etc... the chicago deep pan one, i just cannot get my head around it. i'm not sure if i would like it or not.
😂😂 loved reading this! Oh wow salmon on pizza!! Mind blown! So many places say “Italian restaurant” and it’s anything but 🤣😘❤️
@@AnnalisaJ we went to sicilia on holiday and the kids still talk about how good the pizzas were there.. for me the thing i loved was the coffee. 💕
Yesss the pizza is amazing the more you go south!
Just for the record I have never seen or heard of ketchup on pasta - that sounds awful and is not a common thing. :). Great video!
Thank you! I heard of it in the past so I did a deep dive. Glad it remained in the past 😂😂❤️
Thank you 🙏 for this video it made me giggle they slap cheese & mozzarella call it Italian . So True . 🇮🇹
😂😂😂
@@AnnalisaJ I will now confess ok Annalisa truth be told I have my father’s family from the Dolomite’s cook very different
And then my Mother’s from Salerno
They use onion , crushed garlic, finely chopped celery, finely chop carrots 🥕 in their pasta sauce of course San Marzano tomato , and yes 2 tablespoons of tomato paste . She made her own Sun dried tomatoes too ..remember that the southern part of Italy like Salerno on the sea was part of different history of invaders that cooking tradition for them , this part of Italy had Spanish influence , Greeks , French … probably more information that you wanted to know 😂😂😂
😂😂😂❤️
Just like every ethnic cuisine it’s adapted to each country based on the culture and what’s available. This goes for Asian, Indian etc. 😁
It’s more ‘inspired’ 😁
Yes!!!
Love this! You could have gone on, I know!!! Starbucks is another one. When my cousins came from Rome to visit me in NY (this was years ago), they looked at the Starbucks menu, looked at me, then said, "What IS this?" 😂😂😂🤢
😂😂😂☕️
Oh my god the pizza section 💀
I only like margherita pizzas - and YES, a light sprinkle of mozzarella, not a mountain of it! A good pizza should be light, you shouldn’t feel like you need to lie down after three mouthfuls 😂
It’s a hard life for us outside Italy...just joking! What a nice video Annalisa, continua così 🍝 😊
😂😂 grazie ! 🙏🏻🥰
Yes, I was surprised! Italian cooking in Italy is the best food in the world. I would LOVE to know if the secret on how to make Pepe without the cheese melting in a one big mess. I have tried with arrowroot but to no avail. I love this dish but have failed many times. I have given up.
Beth which dish are you referring to? Pepe = pepper… 🤔
@@AnnalisaJ Sorry about that. CACIO E PEPE
Awww!!! I think there are subtitles, he is one of my favorite chefs this is the blog, but he has also the video:

@@AnnalisaJ Thank you!
Taking a twist on your question, I had a salad in Roma a few years totally different than expected - mixed greens with fresh corn, large ribbons of carrots, large rings of onion, large pieces of tomatoes and radicchio. Do you think this was within the realm of Italian cuisine or created with tourists in mind? If it were possible, I’d share a photo. It was beautiful and delicious.
Sounds like a modern take! We do make salads mostly very simple but this sounds delicious! You can message it to me on Instagram: dearannalisaj

@@AnnalisaJ Sent you a DM 😊
Margherita is my favourite pizza! People never understand why I don't put anything on my pizza, but I love the flavours on their own.
As a Mexican, there's a lot of food that Americans called "Mexican food" and they aren't😅
Yes, simple is the best!!
I love the real Mexican food. I was in San Quintin, Baja, and had some of the best food ever! So simple! Even the little street tacos were from another planet! ❤️❤️❤️ I know what you mean!
Veramente le pennette alla vodka sono un classico anni 80..la pasta con i broccoli e il peperoncino al sud è un altro classico.
Ho messo una nota per correggere le orecchiette con broccoli del sud. ❤️❤️🙏🏻
We’ve been duped here in North America!
😂😂🥰
What about anchovies on pizza?
Yes, absolute yes!
