Spaghetti is just opera ramen

[–] blackjam_alex@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Spaghetti is just Mamma Mia chinese noodles.

Chinese noodles are just wish.com spaghetti

What else is Italy famous for? The Pope? Fascism? Sports cars? Fancy shoes?

Mafia and conservative opinions on women?

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 17 points 5 months ago

i think 'mafia ramen' has a nice ring to it.

Looking like a boot

The roman empire?

Thinking they invented food. Pretending their grocery stores don't have junk food. Pretending they don't eat garlic bread when they think no one is looking.

The cuckoo clock?

Pizza ramen

In America we sometimes caricature France is like the quitters or coward in conflict. In Japan, they see Italy the same way.

Spaghetti is just ramen that surrendered

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Perhaps Plagarized Ramen?

~~How does France factor into it? Spaghetti is Italian, isn't it?~~

Misread the comment, see replies

[–] driving_crooner 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is just a pararel between the way Americans see French people to how Japaneses see Italians.

[–] Moghul@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Shit, I totally misread the comment and it didn't click in my head. I didn't know that's how JP views IT, learn something new every day I guess!

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How has no one said - Roman Ramen.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

This is the one

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Katsu is just Schnitzel

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but katsu breading is far superior imo.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Also usually uses better meat.

Noodles were invented in China, so the inverse would be more accurate.

[–] moroni@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

[–] LikeTearsInTheRain@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 5 months ago

Ramen is anime lamian. Chinese pulled noodles.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 months ago

Italy is associated with spaghetti (see spaghetti western)

So the inserse would be "spaghetti ramen"

僕はバカです

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's not tho? Ramen is a dish and spaghetti is an ingredient

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Ramen noodles are an ingredient.

Also, since pasta noodles originated on the Pacific Coast, it would be more accurate to say that spaghetti is just Gangster Ramen.

Noodles come from Asia, not Italy.

Tomatoes come from America.

So not much in spaghetti is from Italy.
