get mad when someone points out that what they call an Italian sandwich has nothing to do with Italy
The original post is this disgusting-looking /r/food post: [i ate] a deluxe Italian sandwich:
Someone points out that this has nothing to do with Italy:
Wikipedia doesn't say to use 5kg or random mixed meat and 5 grams of veggies. Wrong proportion and wrong ingredients. It doesn't make sense to do it like this.
But I guess it's the “American way”. ==> American sandwich
They get downvoted to -221 and crossposted to /r/iamveryculinary: Italian learns what an "Italian" sandwich is and immediately becomes the authority on why OP is making it wrong
Let's see what angry Redditors have to say:
Eep pray this guy never learns about French toast.
I don't understand this, French toast is something that they actually eat in France.
I just imagine some dude sitting on the potty angrily commenting on a small picture of a sandwich on his phone.
Just like you sitting on the potty angrily commenting on a comment on a small picture of a sandwich on his phone.
Why is immigration and ancestry such a difficult concept for some people to understand?
Peepeeheads pretending to be Italians and the 'No true Scotsman' fallacy, name a more iconic duo
You mean like someone who calls it an Italian sandwich?

You do realize that the proportions & ingredients in that are vastly different from the one in OP? The meat layer is about as thick as the crust. In op's pic it's triple that. Not to mention op mixes tons of different meats, while yours only has one type.

Maybe it's called Italian because it contains as many calories as an average Italian?

Cmon man, it's written right on the top of that page.
It'll probably become an issue at some point, but it will take time for obesity to catch up with them. There are definitely way chonkier nations here, just look at UK for instance (granted I think most of obesity there can be attributed to blacks (please don't tell nonchuds I said this))

/r/iamveryculinary is like the lowest-test sub in existence. I mean come on, it's entire purpose is to cry about how people are being mean online to your shitty cooking.
Can you imagine requiring validation on your posts about food?
Can you imagine being offended when someone rightfully calls your slop bad?
Can you imagine then going online and making a post complaining about it?
That's a whole new level of pathetic. It's like these people like being put down and humiliated, like this is some form of culinary cuckoldry.
Sad!

I find people being mean about food helps you make better food but you can usually defuse the situation by asking for photos of something they made lately.

I absolutely loathe people who piss and moan about gatekeeping. Look, you fricked up something really simple, it's not "gatekeeping" to say that your grilled cheese sandwich shouldn't be deep-fried or that spaghetti carbonara shouldn't have tomato sauce
"But but I really want to call myself a foodie and feel like I belong to a community" - get bent you poser. Do it right or be mocked.

If I've got a long weekend then a Sunday dinner: ribeye roast in the sous vide, roast potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire puds, creamed spinach (not part of a Sunday dinner but I like it
).
For normal midweek dinners, carbonara, which I like because it's simple but hard to perfect.
What about you?

Italians make r-slurred sandwiches anyway. They do probably start with some nice meats, but then ruin it with a big hunk of soggy butt cheese, some halfed tomatoes and drown it in oil for some reason. And they have the nerve to take shots at the noble, blue collar, cold cut.
