  1. Hey however this goes I got to title a topic Holy Rigatoni. Mamma mia life is good.
  2. Stuffed pizza doesn't interest me but it sells well at American pizza chains.
  3. That was silly. Kind of like Taco Bell's attempt to do the Mexico market.
  4. Glad to give you a bit of pleasure so you didn't troll in vain.
  5. Not surprising. The best Thai bbq chicken, green curry, steak salad, pork neck salad, and custard dessert I ever had was in California.
  6. It's a fact that he will be a lame duck. Not opinion. Fact.
  7. The carbonara story is very funny too. Most carbonara in Pattaya has cream even in "Italian" restaurants. I met an Italian guy in California who was a regular visititor there in a city with world class regional Italian restaurants with world class chefs. He refused to eat even one bite of Italian food outside Italy. Not because he wanted to eat everything else which is a good reason but because he was convinced it was all going to be bad.
  8. Yeah and to this day that's how I like my lasagna with ricotta. I hate bechamel with lasagna. Its fun to tell Italians that and watch them respond with disgust.
  9. Pretty much every kind of pizza is available in the US including the same styles as are common in Italy made with imported Italian ingredients. But yeah the most popular USA styles are different.
  10. You didn't mention it. I did. Because the number of states is irrelevant. But I see now you're just into playing silly hair splitting games and have no interest in a sincere discussion which I seeded with my reply about the binary choice. So waste of my time to further engage. BYE.
  11. I never said that. In the electoral college it's not about the number of states, but the number of electoral votes. So winning California and New York is massive. Winning Delaware is trivial. Yes Trump did win a decisive electoral vote victory, but no landslide in either the electoral or popular vote, and he didn't even make it to a majority (50 percent).
  12. Most of us have noticed that Italians are particularly a protective bunch of prima donnas when it comes to their food. Even compared to the French, they really take the cake on that! But this video suggests that much of their food snobbery and arrogance is based on a lot of myths and hot air. Pasta for your thoughts?
  13. Polls aren't elections. Polls were mixed. You said you weren't a Trump guy but based on your narrative here, you're obviously being less than honest.
  14. Well, I would put it another way. The US has a two party system. Not mandated by the constitution but that's the practical reality. So in presidential elections they always have only a binary choice. Yes, globally people currently for the most part want change and are rejecting incumbents. The democrats particularly Biden made a huge mistake. Had he not run and let it be a normal primary system most likely the democrats would have nominated more of an outsider candidate not locked into the Biden association. So Biden in dropping out so late leaving no time for a competitive primary, created a near impossible long shot for the insider of insiders, his flippin' vice president. However, I still think bringing an insurrectionist obviously authoritarian to power was a very stupid and dangerous choice. But I do understand how it happened. Sure.
  15. Yes. Hard to disagree. But the margin of victory was only 1.5 percent.
  16. I'm not optimistic but I do endorse the effort. USA TODAY LINK: As Trump's election is certified, don't settle for stupidity | Opinion
  17. I didn't say they wouldn't. I'm not the one who suggested that tactic. Just acknowledging that it's done sometimes in business.
  18. Stupidity is rampant. How else to explain Trump being brought back to power.
  19. Big ones. Ones with government backing. A common tactic from China.
