Feels proper brexit in here. ‘Fuck your signature dish Bologna, we Brits know better!’

It’s almost like cuisine isn’t set in stone and will evolve when moved from its place of origin.

fucking hell, have a word with yourself cultural appropriation apologist! jfc :smiley:

Also I’d argue that no - if a place name is in a dish, you make it according to their recipes, or with very little adjustments. or you just call it something else to acknowledge that it’s no longer that dish.

Don’t even know what you mean pal.

So many dishes are open to interpretation - I think if you’re making a places signature dish then it should be kept that way else called something else - I absolutely think that’s fair enough.

‘Here is this dish from xx place, except I’ve changed most of the ingredients, changed it’s texture, consistency, flavour and serve it completely differently.’

I think the big :smiley: after made it clear @elthamsmateowen was just having a light joke with me regarding the cultural appropriation thing?

of course that was a joke referencing the Lena Dunham thing above.

Still think it’s totally reasonable to acknowledge what a dish is (and the fact that plenty of people from Bologna would be pretty offended at what passes for Bolognese here and elsewhere. Everyone’s getting defensive because they just settled in their ways of calling it something and don’t want to accept that they’re wrong.

Glad to see the reason this thread is on #numbers is bolognese chat. It’s great of course. Have it about once a week.

That’s why I spell it ‘bolognaise’ mate.

Saw thread title - came here to say bolognaise. When i make bolognaise it takes all day and is one of the nicest things on earth.

When you pour a tin of tomatoes or dolmio sauce over some mince and cook it for 15 minutes then this is NOT Bolognaise. I dont know what it is or what to call it but it bears no resemnblance whatsover to a Bolognaise sauce.

So yes I agree
