Italian cuisine has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first entire gastronomic style to be recognized by UNESCO, the UN’s cultural body. The recognition arrives as Italy intensifies its efforts to combat “fake” Italian food. CNN’s Barbie Latza Nadeau reports from Rome. #CNN #news

Shut up bichttttt Italians of Italy suck. Christopher colombus
Does this mean breaking the spaghetti so it fits in the pan is illegal now?
ITALIAN FOOD IS THE BEST 😮
Honestly Italian food is special. Some form of pizza is sold in every country.
Eating pizza with a fork?! No, no!
Lmao the un thinking they have any power is funny. #FuckTheGlobalist.
The problem is that you non-Italians don't know enough about Italian cuisine. You reduce it to the usual fare like pasta and pizza, but it's much more vast and varied than you might imagine. There are fish, meat, vegetable, and legume dishes, not to mention the variety of cheeses, cured meats, desserts, drinks, and much more, different in each region. Its influence extends to other countries around the world, the United States being a prime example. So is there a reason it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site?!
UNESCO recognizes various food traditions as Intangible Cultural Heritage, Japanese Washoku, French gastronomy, Mexican cuisine, Mediterranean diet, Malaysian dining, and specific practices like Neapolitan pizza-making and Armenian Lavash bread preparation, highlighting cultural significance, rituals, and local ingredients.

As an Italian, I am very proud of Italian cuisine and I think it deserves such recognition. However, it also limits the evolving nature of the Italian culture. There are many Italian cuisines; each region, city and area has its own traditions, which are often linked to neighbouring cultures. In western Sicily, for example, there are close ties with the Maghreb, and thus with North African cuisine. In Trentino-Alto Adige, there are close connections with Austria and thus with German cuisine. In other northern regions, there are connections with France or Switzerland. Take the Alpenmaccheroni, for instance, which is a Swiss dish made from a mix of Swiss and Italian ingredients. Many Italian dishes were created under foreign influence or by Italians in other countries, such as those in the US (apart from the Chicago 'pizza', which has nothing to do with Italy! Or does it?) All dishes evolve with every generation, so where is the line between what is and isn't Italian?
Grease ball food
Non siamo i primi! E sono notizie che servono solo a distogliere l’attenzione da quanto schifo stia facendo il governo Meloni e da quanto il popolo italiano si stia impoverendo
Italian food IN ITALY is a wonder to behold. Incredible!
Italians took pasta from the Arabs
So dumb. What about French cooking, or Polish or Mexican?
