Why do Italians get so autistic about Carbonara and what constitutes an authentic one, when it literally had no recorded recipe prior to WWII and was originally a dish made with Allied bacon rations? Seriously, look up a historical outline of it; it's an extremely modern dish based upon necessity of food insecurity from the fallout of WWII and the usage of pancetta only occurred later once food supplies became more stable.
