"As I said most Italian women were usually massively obese once they had families. "

There is no evidence of this. British women statistically are more obese than Italian ones, who are less so than their men.

The reason I did not comment on it is that it is rubbish but there were a lot of stories and stuff you threw out to wade through.

Is poor right word for the English diet of the past? I don't know; I would say the Italian one has been somewhat better since we kept track of things like nutrition, and food history and statistics.

Have a great evening mate and have a nice veggie pizza with a thin crust.

Re: Mattia Destro
What we are talking about is the quality of food eaten by different nationals? Just checking.
Italian Hammer or iron or whatever suggested the diet in the UK was poor or food was poor. I think that is bollocks. Is and always was. He brought up fish and chips lots of times like I brought up pizza.
I have talked about all the different kinds of foods people have eaten in the Uk for the last 100 years or so. During that time there have been fat and thin people and the national diet was rarely the factor that made them fat or thin. As I said most Italian women were usually massively obese once they had families. You never commented on that as you only chose things that suited your narrow point of view.
You have just talked a load of nonsense.

What again does this have to do with how proud you dad was of something? Nothing against him but you talk about being remotely relevant.

The only time I mentioned fish and chips was comparing it to frito misto which you brought up. Trying at least to compare apples to apples.

You have brought up specific examples of how Italian food was bad and I explained them. You have brought up what could be had in England and what some people might have and then some strange emotion appeal.

I have said that nutritionists don't think a large amount of meat and starch together are good especially for an increasingly sedentary life style Relevant? more so than what one man ate.

Did Britain do (and do they still) that more than Italy - yes says the historical evidence.

Is the gap as wide as it once was? No

Is Britain fatter than Italy and has been for a while - Unfortunately yes based on the studies that have been done. It is also poorer so I dont quite buy your poor people are fat thing.

Relevant - yes

So please do use a throw away phrase, that looks like you have nothing of substance to contribute like "anything remotely relevant" and then end with another piece of anecdotal evidence.

Mate I have tried to keep it pretty civil.

Re: Mattia Destro
My Dad was proud of what his family managed.
My point is that when people point to fish and chips they miss the actual point.

Anyway I was hoping that in an afternoon of discussing this you'd come up with anything remotely relevant that would back your argument and you never did.

The reason my Dad's diet probably wasn't quite as good as an Italian miners was that my Dad's family used butter and dripping for cooking the Italian may well have used Olive oil. I would concede that the olive oil was fractionally better in certain circumstances. However, as it was all quite natural food I doubt much.

I remember once going to an Italian Dinner party where they cooked chinese food and used butter as the oil. Fuck me I laughed.

My mom ate bread and milk and radishes a lot of nights growing up on a farm. Meat once a week if they were lucky.

Not sure what the point is. Again one person's diet does not always reflect the cuisine of the nation.

Re: Mattia Destro
Ok Irons of Canada.
My dad was born into a very poor family living in the valleys in Wales. a coal mining family. this was from the early 1920s to the late 1930s. My dad has talked about what they ate but as an example,
Bacon
Eggs
Cheese
Bread
Leaks
Peas
Beans
potatoes
brasicas
Rabbit
Hare
Lamb
Mutton
offal
Butter
Milk
dumplings
ploughmans ( its like a cold pizza)
Jams
Honey
pickles
cured meats
salted fish
herbs
berries
fruit
nuts
and much more.

I think they rarely had fish and chips because they couldn't afford it.

If they had lived nearer the sea they would have had much more sea food as many did.

If you are talking about a diet of the last 25 years I would say its changed a lot and as i said the rich are thin and eat well the poor are fat and have far too much processed food. they don't have to.

"No where near as good for you as mackerel even if you put some anchovies on." Why compare apples and oranges? Italian eat fish too and not just anchovies.

What is available or what a few eat and what the majority of people eat are two different things.

I write on food history and there is a clear difference between what the people of England and people of Italy have eaten. In my opinion,(but backed by nutritional writers and statistics once you approach modernity and especially when lifestyles get more sedentary ) the Italian one is somewhat better. Sorry but that is what I have learned. My posts started on this when I said italian hammer was being unfair, remember.

Thing are all getting melded together slowly but surely though.

Re: Mattia Destro
Pizza is just a hot open sandwich. No where near as good for you as mackerel even if you put some anchovies on. Its impossible to point the finger and say that Italian food is better than any other food. Its just plain ridiculous. The idea that the British were eating fish and chips all the time is spastic although it was probably true once a week back in the day. Brits have eaten all kinds of sea food regularly that matches the healthiness of anything on the continent. Cockles and mussels and clams and oysters and shrimp and whelks etc.The Brits have eaten a lot of offal that is good for you. The Brits have all kinds of herbs that make the food taste nicer. Brits lamb and beef are as good as you'll find. Game also. All the root veg and brassicas are amazing. Rabbits and hares and pheasants and partridge and god know what else.
Brit food took a dive after the second world war for a couple of decades because of rationing and a generation losing the knowledge but what we did do is absorb the cuisines of the world making the food we eat more interesting and more diverse.

I've spent loads of time in Italy and the best food, like the best British food is brilliant but I've also had a lot of fucking gash. However, nutritionally the historical foods are pretty similar. Meet. Veg. Salad. Herbs. Fish. Fruit. Dairy.

I think you are judging Italian food by its British versions.

Someone said pizza is not the healthiest but Italian pizza, a few ingredients, rarely meat and thin crust is not bad for you at all. The only meat I every have seen Italians put on pizza is thin slices of prosciutto for the saltiness.

How do they, not us, use those sausages?

Actual Italian Fritto misto is fried in a light batter, so there is not much starch there at all. Very unlike the batter in fish and chips and then you add the chips.

Tiramasiu is a pretty recent invention (late 60s) and I would say it is more popular outside if Italy than in, especially out side the far north. The Calabrians I knew thought it was vile.

Nutritionally there is something wrong with the body having to process a lot of starch and protein at the same meal, I am afraid. I am also not sure on the sex thing because, the skinny beauty image thing is pretty recent as well.

Overall, obesity numbers do not lie.

It is probably changing though.
