This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I don't get why everyone is so obsessed with pineapple on pizza. I like it, not enough to order it but still.
The italians look down on us for putting garlic in the sauce by the way, they are disgusted and chagrined at it.
The thing is, garlic in processed food and pizza joints is added to disguise low quality ingredients, same reason they load the holy trinity of fat salt and sugar into everything. So the I-tie's are not wrong. They know food you have to give them that.
I think you shouldn't discount the immense amount of cultural pride that many people put in their region's cuisine -- not even just national pride, even, as many groups will look down on each other despite being from the same country and eating the same foods just because they see the other as preparing it "the wrong way".
Sure, but this isn't just national pride, they are right. Garlic and oinion powder are added to all sorts of products they didn't used to be in, because they cheaped out on the other ingredients. Read all your labels, you will see what I'm talking about. It was not this way until relatively recently.
Perfect excuse to learn to cook, I say! Skip the Winnebago, though.
