A few years back, I was dating an Italian woman (she was a uni lecturer here in the UK). One day, she saw me grating cheddar cheese onto a pizza and she went fucking mental
The thing is, if you don’t complain about the food quality, daddy capitalism will make sure you’ll eat the cheapest garbage possible.
And I think all the complaining is why food is so damn good in Italy. As a person from the North Europe, I can tell you that almost everything tastes so much better in Italy, and food is overall much higher quality.
That’s why if you see a fat person in Italy, it’s likely a tourist.
“This is not the cheese for pizza! Why? Why you do this?!” she kept saying over and over, I thought she was joking at first but genuinely distressed. Tbh she was a bit of a strange woman (and I say this as an objectively strange man). It didn’t last longer than a few months!
Final straw was when she had been saying she missed home badly, so for her next visit I bought a dining table, assembled it myself, bought a bunch of Italian foods, some Italian wine, got it all setup with a nice tablecloth and spread when she got to mine, and she literally went “meh” when she sat down hahaha.
Cheddar can be good on pizza, but not aged cheddar. I tried a 5-year aged cheddar on pizza once and it was no good. Should have cut up the block and eaten it on crackers like usual. Even if you like aged cheddar, it doesn’t melt right on pizza. I’m guessing most cheddar in Europe is aged?
American cheddar isn’t always aged–in fact, you usually have to go to the specialty isle to find aged cheddar–and you can blend it in with mozzarella and parmesan and whatever else to get a good result.

Italians acting like food gods is one of the most obnoxious things ever.
It’s anoying, but you get used to it.

What an obnoxious behaviour. What problem she had with cheddar cheese on pizza?

This is not the proper sauce! Why? Why you do this?!
-Her ancestors in the 16th century when they see someone using this new thing called tomato for sauce.

Cheese curds, though, are amazing on pizza.
It’s not mozzarella from some specific region, probably.
