Italians demand our respect for their culinary traditions when Carbonara is literally a ~~19th~~ 20th century invention. Ridiculous! Next time I'm having pasta, I'm putting ketchup on it to intentionally dishonor them

20th, not 19th. The first mention of the dish by that name is from just after WWII.

Good catch, I tend to get those mixed up. Will fix

Give it some fancy name and call it a new dish.

Something like "Maccaronara al Heinzorino"

That's the thing, of it's a new recipe with a new name it's not sacrilege. It's like those "Spanish omelette" or paellas I see on the net. If you want to fuck around with omelettes do it but don't put our name on it, if you want to play around with rice feel free but don't call it paella!

Next time I see an omelette with fish being called Spanish omelette imma throw hands. We do have a variation with fish but it's a different dish!

I have some terrible news for you.

People will continue to do that. It happens all over the world, one group calling something they've invented a "Spanish" this or "American" that.

I've seen "American Pizza" served in Japan with hot dogs and corn and a bbq sauce. I've seen "Korean beef" as basically a spicy alternative to Mongolian beef. None of these dishes originate in the country they're named for, and the people from those countries would probably recoil at the thought of all of them.

It's just a thing people do, have always done, and will continue to do.
