as an Italian

Is a clear example of the appeal to authority fallacy.

I am calm. Just tired of persistent food bullies in my culture. Maybe that exhaustion was misdirected.

Have a good day.

You are right though: my comment was based on the assumption that, when talking about a traditional dish of a given culture and only limited to that topic, the opinion of someone belonging to that culture is more authoritative than the one of someone else who do not belong to that culture. Which is not true. Even if that opinion is "do whatever you like" 🤣
