We all have our preferences and expectations Authentic, truly authentic food of any culture is going to vary greatly dictated by what was available. Peasant foods account for the most iconic dishes of most cultures.
I, for one, like Olive Garden. Great authentic Italian? No! (Thank God) But, I'm not native Italian, I'm American. So, for Italian inspired food, I like it.
Fredric, not Federico.
I have been to Italy. So if you like Olive Garden or I'm sure Pizza Hut, you clearly don't know Italian cuisine. Its all regional. Pasta in general is a side dish in Italy...not unlimited, all you can eat salad and breadsticks! As far as pizza, most is topped with farm fresh ingredients and cooked in brick ovens. If that's peasant food id love to know what you call the sawdust you're eating...
