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

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.

Just like you sitting on the potty angrily commenting on a comment on a small picture of a sandwich on his phone.

@KONGLAND for once I'm begging you to see the light.

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.
