OP in r/slowcooking enrages many by posting their version of a Bolognese sauce

https://old.reddit.com/r/slowcooking/comments/10v53qk/todays_batch_cook_is_underway_a_slow_cooked

OP shares their version of a slowcooked Bolognese sauce which includes a controversial ingredient: black olives. Discussion is divided between enthusiasm and support for OP's innovation and those who are taking a stand to gatekeep traditional Bolognese, with OP telling the traditionalists to lighten up.

Notable comment threads:

Are those canned olives in a Bolognese?

Italians cringing so hard rn

That seems more like puttanesca, but ok

This guy thinking the “hot take” is the olives. There’s so much more going on here that bastardized the actual dish. This is the equivalent of throwing sweet baby rays and a piece of pork in a slow cooker and calling it barbecue.

Bonus material: OP bravely soldiers on by posting a cheeky update video of his innovative/sacrilegious slowcooked Bolognese sauce.

That's not Bolognese, that's a Ragu. What you're thinking of is a Ragu alla Bolognese which is a Ragu in the Bolognese style. This isn't in the Bolognese style, so can't be Bolognese.

Why insist on naming this a bolognese though? Just call it a tasty stew or a hearty soup and then we can avoid the pedantic comments altogether.

I know you keep insisting that it's a Bolognese, but that's clearly a stew. Bolognese is basically a sauce thickened with meat. What you have is clearly sauce with a bunch of stuff floating around inside of it.

Bro why you breathing so hard 😩
