Thinking they invented food. Pretending their grocery stores don't have junk food. Pretending they don't eat garlic bread when they think no one is looking.
In America we sometimes caricature France is like the quitters or coward in conflict. In Japan, they see Italy the same way.
Spaghetti is just ramen that surrendered
How does France factor into it? Spaghetti is Italian, isn't it?
Misread the comment, see replies
Is just a pararel between the way Americans see French people to how Japaneses see Italians.
Shit, I totally misread the comment and it didn't click in my head. I didn't know that's how JP views IT, learn something new every day I guess!
Italy is associated with spaghetti (see spaghetti western)
So the inserse would be "spaghetti ramen"
Ramen noodles are an ingredient.
Also, since pasta noodles originated on the Pacific Coast, it would be more accurate to say that spaghetti is just Gangster Ramen.
Noodles come from Asia, not Italy.
Tomatoes come from America.
So not much in spaghetti is from Italy.
