How do you feel about the Italian restaurant OLIVE GARDEN?

[MinervaItalica]

Italian tomatoes taste different than American tomatoes?

Completely different. Do you think that tomatoes that grow up in a Med climate are the same as the American ones? Without count all the chemicals you use...

Why do you think "Made in Italy" is one of the most prestigious and wanted trademarks? Because our products have an unique tradition of productions and are 100% natural. This is what happens when someone tries to replicate or products: http://www.bbc.com/news/10359001 And this is not only about food.

And seriously, trying to reproduce Parmigiano-Reggiano (with a tradition of production that dates back to the Middle Ages) in one day (i saw how some countries fake this cheese) is just rediculous. Same story for our Wine with your Wine Kit.
Just import the real ones so, you enjoy healthy food and in the same time you help Italy economy.

Do Italians jack off on them to give them an Italian flavor?

You can joke how much you want but your people would die to taste a real Italian "jaked off" tomato. Ignorant and stupid questions don't deserve a reply.

Well, I don't know. They're still lacking those magical powers native born Italians have to cook a meal.

It's always the same story, if you want to enjoy the real food you've to go in that specific place.
