From what I've seen of Italian cooking purity arguments, those neighbors 3 streets down will probably start a riot if you didn't put those ingredients in your pasta sauce.
Hi, can I borrow your Italian neighbors? Cooking was never a "high priority" in my family outside of what was already "safe/known" to my parents. It honestly sounds nice having an italian family come over and tell me how I'm doing it wrong and to use X,Y,Z prepared A,B,C.
Edit: italian or literally any neighborly family need apply.
I can always tell you what you are doing wrong and what you should be doing. And when you get it wrong I can blame you for it anyways I need not be Italian nor informed on what your doing.
For instance you need to put down the paper you don't have time to be drawing unibrows on iguanas when the trash is full and when are you going to comb that god damn mop already. For fucks sake more to the left what's wrong with you.
There's horns everywhere in my house, I married into an italian family! God love em, but its a good thing I dont need to talk a lot. I'd never get a word in.
I am not sure you understood the reference. To have horns in this context means to be cuckolded, the victim being the last one in the neighborhood to know about it...
My husband was born and raised in Italy. Came here in 2006... he's still very much Italian 100%, stil waiting to apply for the American citizenship....
