How to irritate europeans with one sentence

I use to eat that as a kid. Not sexy but I remember it tasted good actually. Now I prefer pesto genovese. Is it more sexy?

You're less of a degenerate. Pesto Genovese is pretty good! Don't take my comments seriously, by the way. I'm just teasing (though I still don't understand why people would choose ketchup over actual pasta sauce)

Because there is no such thing as 'pasta sauce'.

Sure there is! You cook it! Ketchup is cold, and sweet, and gross! Cooking your own sauce will always taste better!

Pasta with ketchup is unsexy.

I'm no real food lover, I admit, but even I think an American lambasting what she calls 'food snobbery' to be testament of the dangers of a lack of decent culinary standards and the resulting sky-high obesity ratings.

In that sense, yes. But personally I take exception to the way most foreigners cook pasta rather than what they put on it. Though I don't mind as long as they don't try to serve it to me

I mean, my comment wasn't meant to be taken terribly seriously. I will admit that my grandmother would smack me if I poured ketchup over my pasta, though again, she's the type of woman who likes to make her own fresh pasta instead of buying + boiling it. I need to learn how to make it but the process intimidates me.

We have a great culinary tradition here.Pretty much the entire world is filled with American restaurants.How could we not?

Rates of overweight and obesity are measured by BMI,which is complete bullshit. If you aren't a scrawny hipster looking like a pencil,you are overweight.
A man that is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds is considered overweight by BMI. Someone who is 6'2'' and 230 pounds is obese!

That's a nice piece of irony there. You are actually the very Turkish user he might've based that claim on. You pretended to be a German woman with a Turkish boyfriend here once.

Yeah and you were almost hitting on me too. I'm scared.

BMI is a Belgian invention, by the way. One invention that haunts Americans to this day. It's our WMD.

It's very easy, you literally only need flour and water and forearms
