The Italy thread

[Dead Winter]

Scandinavians made it first.

Really? Explain, please.

"We've renamed pizza as Italian American sauce bread."

In all actuality, you could rename it that in the US because the pizza is completely different in the US. Too much bread, not enough toppings.

I think there are so many metalheads where I live because they're all barbarian ancestors. The barbarians conquered this region centuries ago and fucked all the women. That's why Italians from the north don't look like Italians from the south, who are more middle-eastern looking and dark complected. Their features here are much lighter, unless they've got ancestors further south.

The Lombards, my friend, the Lombards.

home, sweet home slovenia/ croatia. ^^ ( i live on the border) lool

Oh cool! more people from Slovenia here

Btw there's way too much Italy on this map of Slovenia...

 

[Dead Winter]

They settled in Lombardia, which is the region of Milano. They passed through but didn't settle in Friuli. Where I live is the region Attila the Hun conquered.

damn you're right!

 

[Malergion]

Except that the legend says Italy, silly.

 

[nien_na]

ignore the first part ...

 

[nien_na]

i know !! it's a joke

 

[Malergion]

I do, in fact, have a sense of humor. I happened to use both logic and humor at the same time!

 

[nien_na]

good for you , i mean no harm

 

[Malergion]

I'm glad. Harm is for the PETA thread.

One of you Italians should go find the tomb of Alaric. I mean, since you're already over there and everything.

I'd come do it, but I have some serious thumb-twiddling to attend to over here.

 

[Captain Beard]

Really? Explain, please.

Actually I can't find it, but it seems to date further back than that to Greece anyway, so *shrug*

 

[Malergion]

Flatbread has always been a commodity, really--or at least for as long as the agriculture of grains.

 

[Captain Beard]

Yes, but flatbread with leftovers?

 

[Malergion]

Yes, but flatbread with leftovers?

It's feasible at least.

Gorognogixa: Hmmm...I think I"ll put the stuff on top of this flatbread with some cheese. There really isn't enough to serve as a meal by itself.

Pragnoxototul Family: YUM! This is good shit.

 

[Captain Beard]

Well, I did read they'd found that Scandinavians had done it, but I'd gather the Greeks did it before that, and probably even before that as well, I mean, what better way to get rid of leftovers than to put them on bread, cover them in sauce, and toss them in an oven?

 

[Chromatose]

Flat bread with toppings have been done for thousands of years, yes, but seeing as how the tomato is purely a product of the Americas, pizza wasn't actually created until it was exported back to Europe a few centuries back.
