Talk:Italian-American cuisine

message: The vast majority of ethnic American article, including the parent of this one Italian American, do not employ the hyphen. I am going to be bold and remove them an move this article to reflect the naming structures of the other articles. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 20:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: So uhhh... I think the adjective should use the hyphen, but the noun (refering to the people) should not. Anyways, later editors have rectified this issue, although someone decided to use an en dash for some reason (cf. MOS:DUALNATIONALITIES). --Artoria2e5 🌉 10:19, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

message: There is a basic difference between the two sauces: the marinara uses origan but the salsa al pomodoro uses basil. In addition the marinara has got garlic instead salsa al pomodoro may have garlic or onion.
The difference is evident: marinara has a strong taste (garlic lightly fried in oil with origan with addition of tomatoes after some minutes) but the salsa al pomodoro is sweet (onions lightly fried in oil with addition of tomatoes and at the end addition of basil). In the south of Italy the garlic substitutes onions in the salsa al pomodoro. --Ilario (talk) 19:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I've changed the explanation of the term "cicerchiata", which isn't "chickpea shaped" but "blue sweet pea dish": cicerchia is actually a different kind of legume, typically mediterranean. https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/cicerchia.1833024/
Sorry for my English, I'm Italian and still learning.

replies: text: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicerchiata#Etimologia_del_nome somewhat supports the theory. Chickpeas belonging to genus Cicer might explain the confusion. Artoria2e5 🌉 10:05, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

message: @User:Airplane Master  So you made this revert. 
I am aware of the underlying grammar but "the meatballs would have been much smaller". Hmm, if what? or when? You wrote: "Works perfectly for theoretical statements." But do we need a theoretical statement here?
The article reads:
 * Spaghetti and meatballs – a combination that was allegedly present in 19th century southern Italy, albeit the meatballs would have been much smaller, differently made and served with other kinds of pasta.
Does it mean that if we wanted to make spaghetti and meatballs today but with the original 19-century recipe, the meatballs would be much smaller compared to ordinary meatballs that we eat nowadays? If so, then it means that in the 19-century the meatballs were indeed much smaller. So the hypothetical clause "would have been" is unnecessary here. The meatballs just  much smaller. Could you please explain your reasoning? 85.193.228.103 (talk) 14:42, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, on Wikipedia we try to avoid statements like those ("allegedly") if there is not a direct source for the claim. So, I will be removing the entire sentence to avoid a WP:TRUE situation. - I am the Airplane Master (talk) 23:30, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The source was poorly cited, but easily enough found in Google. There is no need for "allegedly", which was added by an anon a year ago. The source (strangely, added in the same edit) clearly states that the Italian-American version is based on Neapolitan festival cooking which used smaller ("walnut-sized") meatballs as well as other ingredients. Apparently the anon found a source but didn't believe it.... --Macrakis (talk) 00:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I did not expect that my edit would lead to such an improvement. Good job. Thank you both. By the way, I must try this dish :-) 85.193.228.103 (talk) 23:39, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

message: The original "lasagna" (or lasagne) was not  made with béchamel sauce. This is simply inaccurate. The earliest record for a recipe of lasagne dates to the 1400s.  Béchamel was first invented in France in the 1700s an then introduced to Italy.  The original recipes of Lasagne, prior to the 1700s, called for layers of lasagne pasta between various unspecified cheeses and meats.  The idea that lasagne alla bolognese (aka with béchamel) typically found around Italy today is the "original" version is simply wrong.  In all likelihood the Neapolitan version is actually a reminant of an older variety of the recipe. 31.27.183.59 (talk) 18:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the word "original" as inaccurate according to the references at Lasagna. There is no need to get deep into the weeds of the origin in this article which is about Italian-American cuisine. Cullen328 (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
