Have you ever had prosciutto with melon? (Prosciutto e Melone: An extremely common Italian dish of salty ham with sweet fruit)

You might be Italian. Which is irrelevant. But you are also an idiot. I’m also Italian. Doesn’t make me an authority on any food item. Being a smug purist about food is so embarrassing. I hate when my Italian family acts like bullies about what’s proper regarding food.

My grandpa use to say dumb Italian bullshit rules about food like you. He’d say “dairy and seafood can never go together.” Well he sure liked lox on bagels.

This shit needs to stop. You dopey boomers are cringe. You need to go.

Now excuse me while I got make a cappuccino for dessert after dinner with my Lelit GiuliettaX, shitting on you divas who believe in old timey wives tales.

You ancient fucks: “Dairy after dinner is bad for digestion”

Proceeds to eat gelato

You make no sense.

I said "it's a matter of personal taste" what made you think I presume to be authoritative? Stiamo calmini.

as an Italian

Is a clear example of the appeal to authority fallacy.

I am calm. Just tired of persistent food bullies in my culture. Maybe that exhaustion was misdirected.

Have a good day.

You are right though: my comment was based on the assumption that, when talking about a traditional dish of a given culture and only limited to that topic, the opinion of someone belonging to that culture is more authoritative than the one of someone else who do not belong to that culture. Which is not true. Even if that opinion is "do whatever you like" 🤣
