Yknow the people, usually Italians that are extremely adamant (up to and including annoying) of what can and cannot be put into food? I mean like “no no no real Italian pizza doesn’t use xyz” or “wow noo, xyz is not suppose to go in real Italian lasagna”
Many Italian dishes are literally historically peasant food, especially pizzas and lasagna. People have to start realizing authenticity is a complete social construct and what is considered authentic is constantly changing and adapting to the times. Therefore, always meticulously banning certain ingredients from entering a dish because its “not authentic” actually has no backing: especially if adding that specific ingredient actually improves the dish. Food is just food and a dish is just simply the outcome of its ingredients. Food is just food. Change it however you want. If you like pineapple pizza, awesome. If you like onions in your tomato sauce, DO IT. Food is just food.
