Reply to comment by BeardyMike in [Homemade] Italian sandwich by lukemakesscran

I mean, it's okay to be wrong and not know about classic italian food, but you seem very confused about food in general.

If you go to an Indian restaurant run by an Indian family in in the US, the fresh cilantro is not going to be flown in from India. It's still indian food, even if the cilantro looks different to you. The recipe is Indian. It's as simple as that. If you went in that indian restaurant and said "I think this is MEXICAN FOOD because the cilantro looks MEXICAN to me!" everyone would think you're completely insane (children included).

Now, you're trying to tell us that a famously italian recipe is confusing to you because the bread doesn't look like the exact kind in italy... but you can't recognize the basic underlying recipe that's being used is Italian?

You really thought the famous caprese was invented in Britain, because the basil leaves confused you that badly? Come on, my dude.

Look at the links I sent carefully to understand the recipes.

No no, you've misunderstood me, and I take full responsibility for that.

It's called satire and sometimes it doesn't travel well.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that you are a native english speaker but you're not from Great Britain.

Too polite to be ~~American~~, so I'll say Canadian.

Our approaches to humour are too different, so I'll try a different tact, as I dont want to be poutine you down about it. So lets start fresh, and Maple we can find a way to converse without all the hockey pokey.

My goodness u/SOULJAR, I think we can both agree that's a fine looking sandwich, however I'm almost positive that it was made by British hands, Scottish if I have to pick a part of GB, with undoubtedly British ingredients. I'm sure that if OP had a larder stacked full of authentic italian ingredients, the sandwiches coming out of their kitchen would be simply divine. It's a shame that the lackluster ingredients we have here in the UK are unable to give such a recipe as this, the justice it deserves.
