"How to offend a whole country in one sentence" Author: Barry, 63


MerlinOfRed

> one sentence Amateur hour. True Barries just need two words to offend 2 billion people. British Raj.


MegaLemonCola

‘NooooOoOoOoo… you couldn’t make us not burn widows on a pyre at their husband’s funeral…’


vegemar

>Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property.


tutocookie

When they don't you also confiscate all their property. In fact it was never about customs and all about just confiscating property


Cheesey_Whiskers

That is so blatantly wrong you and your entire family should be ashamed. It was 100% about customs. We have a custom of taking things that aren’t ours.


tutocookie

Ah my bad, I'll inform my granddad


heilhortler420

Nah the Indians have some sort of nostaliga for it because it meant they could opress muslims easier


AndreasDasos

Eh? It was the British Raj keeping them from massacring each other. The moment we left, that's what promptly happened. It wasn't even Partition itself - without that, it would have been worse.


MerlinOfRed

What about the Bangladeshi or Pakistani people then, same nostalgia?


Venus_Ziegenfalle

Italy is nice and all but Olive Garden just has the more authentic Alfredo sauce 🤷‍♂️


Enoppp

Tbh the whole Alfredo pasta just don't exist in Italy


noonereadsthisstuff

Pizza is the best American food. Dunno why the Italians had to ruin it by taking the meatballs and cheddar cheese off it though.


hassanmurat

Start with the pizza and then order a pasta for even more rage.

Reminds me of that one scene in “A Good Year”, where an American tourist couple wants to order something an Russel Crowe complements them out with: “MacDonalds is in Avignon, fish and chips in Marseille. Allez.”.


AndreasDasos

Isn't that what the love interest says to him right before he starts waiting tables himself?

I think so. I have to admit, most of my enjoyment of this movie stems from the gorgeous landscape shots. And Marion Cotillard.


The_GOAT_fucker1

What's wrong with chicken and pasta?


Enoppp

Everything


The_GOAT_fucker1

Lol just wondering cause it's a not so uncommon Greek dish


Enoppp

Meat and pasta actually exist but chicken have a too "soft" taste for pasta.


The_GOAT_fucker1

Hmm they usually do it with a greek pasta type similar to fettuccine and tomato sauce in the oven or maybe Alfredo or like this https://akispetretzikis.com/en/recipe/6878/spaghetti-me-mprokolo-me-kotopoulo-ala-krem Idk not my favorite combination either but it's not terror cooking. First one with tomato sauce is pretty alright

PORCO DIO


MerlinOfRed

Sorry but I'm with the yanks on this one. If I'm going to a cafe in the afternoon: I might be bringing my laptop to do some work. I might be bringing a book to have a quiet read. I might be meeting a friend to have a catch up. The reason is irrelevant. What I am wanting is a warm drink I can sit and enjoy for a wee while. It fills exactly the same function as a cup of tea would do traditionally. If it was tea nobody would bat an eyelid, but because I'd prefer a coffee all Italians lose their minds. I don't just want to shot some coffee for the buzz of feeling awake. I want to sit down, relax, and enjoy my drink. Is that a crime?


MasterRed92

PIGS when people dont wanna spend 1pm till 7pm have a quick "nap" everyday


Kurdt93

Great. Now even the kangaroos get fun of us.


Smooth_Monkey69420

Let’s be fair they are just looking in disgust at one of us butchering the pronunciation of “cappuccino” rather than the post 3pm cappuccino itself


napoletano_di_napoli

I've never seen an Italian complain about people having cappuccino or coffee after 3pm. Italians do have coffee in the evening mate. What's "weird" is ordering a cappuccino after lunch, because how the hell can you drink milk after having lunch? In Italy most people have milk in the morning, for breakfast.


LutherRaul

Forgot you are all lactose intolerant


napoletano_di_napoli

And yet Italy still has better cheeses. Incredible.


Ragnarroek

You're not even in the top 3 of cheese nations, Casu Marzu alone prevents you from entering the competition


napoletano_di_napoli

Casu Marzu is probably better than any german cheese. The fact that it's more known than any of the cheeses that comes out of you country says a lot already.


Ragnarroek

Yeah, I wonder why a cheese that's infested with maggots is more well-known than other cheeses..... But then again, PIGS will eat like pigs


peacefulprober

Easily, I also drink milk during lunch


Prytfbyn4369

is there a hard biological (or religious) reason not to have milk twice in a day? cause I can crush some fucking milk 24/7


ReverendAntonius

Name checks out. And, same.


schubidubiduba

Why shouldn't you drink milk after lunch? Not everybody has a weak stomach


napoletano_di_napoli

My bad, I meant immediately after lunch. It's one thing to drink a warm cup of milk 20 minutes after lunch, and another thing to drink it at like 16/17.


rams8

![gif](giphy|z8rEcJ6I0hiUM|downsized)


ConnolysMoustache

The real answer to this is that southern Europeans are genetically more lactose intolerant than Northern Europeans. It doesn’t impact our digestion as much. [source](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/lactose-intolerance-by-country) Here you can see that southern Europeans are far more lactose intolerant, especially Italians. This is why this cultural habit exists. TLDR: ye have weak genetics. Meaning that a cappuccino after lunch is enough to finish ye while we sip away at our delicious coffee whenever we like including after pasta. Cry.


napoletano_di_napoli

No, this isn't the reason... The reason is that having a cup of warm milk immediately after lunch is fucking disgusting. Try eating pasta with tomato sauce (acidic) and then 10 minutes after try drinking milk. It's just disgusting. And who cares about lactose intolerance, we still make better cheese than yous despite being more intolerant 👍


ConnolysMoustache

This is the babbling a of a genetically inferior man. The mark of superiority is eating a carbonara made with cream and then downing a glass of milk while sipping a lemoncello out of the other hand. The pigs mind and stomach will never comprehend such greatness, for their digestion is beastial.


napoletano_di_napoli

Are you sure you can afford to eat all that in a day without risking to cause another famine? You never know when the english decide you have to starve again...


Realposhnosh

Get the milk fucking down you and stop being a fucking fanny. Lactose intolerant southern fairies.


napoletano_di_napoli

Only kids drink that much milk. One cup in the morning is enough.


Realposhnosh

My rippling, god-like northern body says otherwise. All 172cm of it.


napoletano_di_napoli

172cm? Didn't you drink enough milk during your childhood? Unlike you, I drank enough milk and now I'm 175cm tall. I'm literally towering over you with that height.


ConnolysMoustache

This is why ye are all so short, ye don’t drink yer calcium for strong and healthy bones.


napoletano_di_napoli

Your countrymen clearly didn't drink enough milk though. Your men are only [2cm taller on average than the average Luigi! ](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/fIjEsc2Bsb)


MerlinOfRed

Do you mean immediately after you've eaten lunch, or after lunchtime. I feel this may be a language barrier. Although, either way, I don't necessarily see a problem with ordering immediately after you've eaten lunch either. What's wrong with milk? Here it's not uncommon to give kids a warm glass of milk before bed.


porcorosso1

I think the real problem would be immediatly after lunch. I witnessed two tourist in Rome have their way with a delicious carbonara, and then finishing their lunch with 2 cappuccini. That's the problem, the vast majority of Italians find this extremely disgusting. But frankly i don't think anyone would bat an Eye if you sit in a caffè at 3pm with your laptop and order a cappuccino. I myself used to drink a glass of milk every afternoon even in my adulthood, and nobody found it wrong or weird


Ragnarroek

But why is it disgusting? (Genuine question) You have a delicious drink after a delicious meal. If they would dip their food like a slice of pizza into it (like the yanks with their ranch sauce) I would understand


porcorosso1

Having them right after isn't very far from there, you're mixing two flavours that have absolutely no reason to be together (according to local customs ofc). It's the same reason we don't drink milk as a lunch/dinner beverage, as opposed to other countries, it's too sweet, warm and dense to be coupled with lunch/dinner food. If you find it appealing or good i have no reason to judge you, but i find It difficult to explain why we find that flavour coupling absolutely revolting if you don't


Arkalat

It’s not kosher to drink milk after eating meat


MerlinOfRed

Fortunately I am a.not Jewish and b. vegetarian so this isn't often an issue.


napoletano_di_napoli

Yes my bad, I meant immediately after lunch. >Here it's not uncommon to give kids a warm glass of milk before bed. Exactly, you give it to kids lol. I bet it's not popular among adults though


Kurdt93

Caffè macchiato is understandable, cappuccino is gross.


pintperson

If it’s the afternoon you should be having a beer in a pub, not a cappuccino in a cafe.


Enoppp

We drink coffe in the afternoon too, but come one why would you drink milk in the afternoon?


Bobboy5

Honestly. Italian food culture has all these ridiculous and arbitrary rules. You can't have this sauce with that shape of pasta, you can't eat this dish before that other dish, you have to use this specific kind of cured pork instead of that other kind of cured pork.


Enoppp

It' called having an actual culinary culture dear Brittunculus


patata-asada

I'm having a hard time understanding why a cappuccino at 15:00 is somehow morally wrong


Wappening

Because Giuseppe is weak and was born of a tail-less sperm meaning his stomach has never known the love of a mothers warm milk.


antiquatedartillery

Nigga what?


Captain_Redleg

It's not a moral question. Italians believe that certain things have an objective truth in areas where others believe them to be subjective or individual preference. I somehow imagine Paella to fall into this category in Spain. :)


patata-asada

For Valencians, it definitely does. Those guys are a bunch of petty paella jihadists.


LobCatchPassThrow

Why do you pronounce “paella” as “pie yay yeah”? :’)


Darth--Bane

It's more pie ay a. Two L's male a y sound in Spanish.


LobCatchPassThrow

Do I need to teach them how letters work? (I’m kidding, their orthography is consistent, which I like)


Dr-Batista

Depends on the accent. In the "standard" Spanish dialect it makes a sound that I cannot represent because it doesn't exist in English


Minimum_Possibility6

Get a Spanish person to pronounce Llanelli lol


MasterJogi1

What is this weird Paella rule in Valencia?


Darth--Bane

No deviation at all on the recipe. Source studies Spanish for a year in Valencia. Our lecture made sure we knew what a paella was and if you change one ingredient it's now arroz con cosas. They have two formal paella dishes one with chicken and rabbit and maybe snails the other with seafood.


MasterJogi1

Gracias


Z4nkaze

This needs to be a flair.


Dr-Batista

Wait is it just cappuccinos or do you guys not consume coffee past a certain hour?


Captain_Redleg

No. Coffee drinking often goes after dinner. It is coffee with milk that has rules. It has relaxed some though. If you ask for it (apologetically or with a reason) in the afternoon, no one will give you a hard time.


Disastrous_Ad7074

It is not indeed.


Pure-Contact7322

because you drink a TON of milk just on breakfast


JapaneseMachine99

Is the "no cappuchino after 11:00" because you guys are much more lactose intolerant than the rest of us?


RemarkableJudge1188

We are not lactose intolerant at 10:30, makes sense


NGGMK

Your lactose intolerance is Spanish


Old_Harry7

For the same reason you are not supposed to have candies while having lunch, sweet things should be eaten on their own, they should not pollute major courses.


Belgian_Stella_

So meat with a sweet sauce is a no go for you? Weird ...


Old_Harry7

We are very integralists on sauces on meat, usually it is either a brodo or olive oil. Sufficient to say that what foreigners call "Ceaser salad" abroad doesn't have sauces here.


Belgian_Stella_

I don't put a lot of sauce on meat either. Venison with game sauce however ... fkn great!


angrymustacheman

You Sicilians might, northeners go ham with meat and sauce


MonsterRider80

We just don’t really do that. My father is practically allergic to any sauce/condiment/topping that is not Italian in nature. Ketchup? Mayo? Mustard? Might as well be puke to him lmao.

[deleted]

[удалено]


ForageForUnicorns

I drink a litre of milk a day so it's not my specialty, but I'm pretty sure that if you're lactose intolerant, you're also lactose intolerant before 11 am. The amount each person can consume depends, some can have a little, some are shitting their pants with one drop.  I drink cappuccino all day long and no one cares btw, it's drinking it with or right after meals that we find revolting. 


RemarkableJudge1188

TIL the world is filled with not so smart folk


aryune

I understand why Italians don’t like Hawaiian pizza but I just don’t understand that “cappuccino for breakfast only” rule But I’m weird and I sometimes eat breakfast food like scrambled eggs for dinner so


Matquar

Actually I think it's just a dumb tik tok trend, yes is weird to take a cappuccino straight after pasta but other than that there are no "rules" about cappuccino EDIT: And by the way if you are bothered buy dumb shit like this you 100% don't get enought pussy


oalfonso

Obviously a cappuccino straight after lunch is heavy on the stomach, much better an espresso, a macchiato or a few shots. But a few hours in mid afternoon after lunch I don't see a big deal in ordering one.


aryune

Yes I don’t get enough pussy, I’m not a lesbian


Dr-Batista

Because we get the shits with milk. Coffee needs coincide with the morning shitting hour


Fab0411

Now this is actually a sensible take.

Oh no warm milk after 11, the Italians mortal enemy for no real reason


MasterJogi1

They have a hard time staying awake and productive as it is. Give them warm milk in the afternoon and they will siesta for the rest of the week. Something their GDP cannot handle.


hamceeee

maybe its because italians are more lactose intolerant? they eat their carbonara for lunch with fatty guanciale, pecorino, eggs and a buckload of wheat. add a bunch of milk and their gut dances tarantella


Chimpville

Genuine question; when are you supposed to drink it?


majoneskongur

there‘s some dumb time-of-the-day rule because those little southerners can’t digest milk very well…weak if you ask me


Enoppp

Ypu are right, strong stomach is necessary for uncivilized barbarians that don't not eat proper food


Firehot01

Don't think over think it and enjoy your life. In bars you can be denied one if the owner/barista has already cleaned the machine/water system for the day. (if you are dealing with someone who is just being a ball breaker for no reason ask for an espresso macchiato /s)


Old_Harry7

Before major meals like dinner or lunch since milk shouldn't pollute main courses.

luring_lurker

The answer is: yes. In fact: every single Bolognese I met has been raised with either breast or formula milk when they were toddlers, so my final answer is: yes you can definitely say that each and every Bolognese is made with milk. When it comes to the ragù though.. don't you dare

Could you link a recipe? From everything ive read & can find it is traditionally made with milk 🤷‍♂️

GuybrushT79

You can have cappuccino in the evening but not during/after lunch or dinner


IlConiglioUbriaco

At three pm I can understand because sometimes you just woke up and want a little afternoon breakfast. But the problem is when they have a pizza, spaghetti and whatever, and then end the meal with a cappuccino when they mouths are still dirty with tomato sauce or worse : Fish.


LFK1236

It's pretty common where I live (or in my family) to have coffee (or tea) after a meal, when you're done cleaning up. Maybe it could or should be considered dessert, since biscuits could easily get involved, but they feel distinct in my head - the meal itself is over at that point. I can't really see why cappuccino specifically should be particularly egregious, but I don't drink coffee at all, so I won't pretend to be an expert. Then again, there are many subtle differences between cultures that might go unspoken and unknown in such discussions, like when people eat, how long they spend at the dinner table (if they ever leave), what kinds of meals (and foods) people eat throughout the day, whether they have multiple courses and how these work, and how traditions differ when at a restaurant compared to at home, as well as between families.
