Acutally that should be "Poutine and a big hot steaming glass of maple syrup."

It seems that many Western European countries are trying to "preserve" their culture. In actuality, it only prevents the culture from evolving, and thus killing it in the long run.

Way to admit that your food can't prevail on its own merits, Italy.

 
Temescal 2009-01-31 04:11:07 PM  
After reading the article, I think this is the key sentence: "It was also a blow to immigrants who make a living by selling ethnic food, which is popular because of its low cost."

It's not so much food that they're after, it's them damn immigrants.

People who think Americans are racist should spend some time living in Europe.

TFA: Davide Boni, a councillor in Milan for the Northern League, which also opposes the building of mosques in Italian cities, said that kebab shop owners were prepared to work long hours, which was unfair competition.

After all the fark talk about the wonders of poutine I had some from a place that has a canadian owner and sells it.

Tasted like absolute garbage.

Farking stupid. How do say "eat a bowl of dicks" in Italian?

Or is a bowl of dicks considered "ethnic?"

Is this another vain attempt to keep Italy from breaking up into even smaller parts? Give up your memories of the Roman empire. Follow the model of some the the native american tribes and construct casinos and sell cheap smokes and fireworks without taxes. I bet you it would be more successful than the Vatican. Damn Nazis.

 
NotSubby 2009-01-31 06:17:20 PM  
Funny, maybe they should give the magic of pasta back to Asia and tomatoes back to the Americas?

Marco?

Try regimen. A regiment is a unit of soldiers, larger than a battalion but smaller than a brigade. Unless Pepsi and poutine are new military codewords.

I came in here to quote this. Since when is working hard considered unfair competition. So basically, these Italians are pulling whatever reason they can find to mask their racism against immigrants.

This. Italians are lazy motherfarkers. The only places open at "odd hours"
(read: before 8am to after 8 pm with no three hour break in the middle) were places run by non-Italians

Fixed that.

Aaaahhhh! I can't stand it! I've tried not to ask. Really, I have. But I can't go one more day without knowing. The risk is too great that I may be run over by a city bus and die before ever finding out:

What in the farking heck is this poutine stuff you Canucks keep on aboot?

"Even spaghetti, it is thought, was brought back from China by Marco Polo"

You'd think that, but you'd be wrong.

 
Smackledorfer 2009-01-31 06:35:00 PM  
Americans just want foreigners to sell their food to us in our language so we know wtf we are eating.

Mangia una ciotola di cazzi. Only considered ethnic if dicks are circumcised.

It is heaven on a plate.
Thirty-five-thousand calories of perfectly fried Yukon gold potatoes, piping hot savoury gravy and the finest cheese curds.
The smoked meat version is even better. Some resto's even serve it with chicken or even fois gras

This is the great thing about America. Since we're a country of farking mutts and refugees, we never have to worry about "losing our culture".

Tastes like pastrami.

Agree. America probably has the LEAST racism in the world. For example, just spend a little time getting to learn the Chinese language and how many derogatory words there are for people that aren't Chinese.

Poutine-at-home: Take hand-cut cooked french fries, just out of fryer, top with white cheese curds (if unavailable use a mix of grated mozzarella and mild cheddar). Pour hot beef gravy over top and wait a minute for cheese to get all melty. Consume in hot, dripping mouthfuls. You can top it with just about anything, but this is the classic.

What the fark is Frito pie?

FTFA: six Romanians accused of gang-raping an Italian girl in the Rome suburb of Guidonia.

Guidonia? There's a real farking place called Guidonia? Is that where Clemond N. Flinch's pic was taken?

This is the same Italy that is trying to ban all Romanis, right?

Someone remind me why Italy is allowed to be in the EU...

Just visit the city of Livorno if you want to stay away from the fascist Italy.
