i think it's just american in general to throw a ton of cheese on everything

>>17105335
And i highly doubt that it's actual parmesan. That stuff is so expensive and strong in flavour that nobody would through such amounts on stuff.

>>17105335
>>17105339
>cheese is... LE BAD!

>>17105339
I can't imagine being from a country so poor that you guys hate cheese. I assume you hate chocolate too.

Anyway France came up with all the cheese sauces, and Itally in particular came up with parmesan and mozzarella so yeah.

>>17105342
Usually, a think amount of cheese is either Mozzarella (non-fresh American version), or provolone. American Parmesan is still too strong in flavor to have that much of it, and it doesn’t melt at all, it seems.

>>17105350
Well somebody came up with lard, probably didn't think you guys would drink it.
Putting just a lil into the batter for chicken parm or meatballs doesn't make the cut. Could've just left it out at that point.

>>17105372
I've seen recipes that call for "parmesan" only.

>>17105342
>>17105372
parmesan is in the breading

>>17105585
this

The difference is actually in quadrupled portion sizes and putting meat in everything because, "aMama we can afford the meat now bless the america" eg replacing eggplant with veal or chicken for parmesan

Pretty sure even in 1950 food was cheaper in italy and you weren't spending 50% of your income on food despite earning more like you guys today.

>>17105818
Modern italians spend about 16.5%
Modern americans 7.1%
The only group to even come close to 50% was ironically italian-americans during the period of mass migration.

The name Chicken Parmigiana has nothing to do with parmesan. Parmigiana in this case means "in the style of parma".

The cheese is mozza here.

>>17105335
>Chicken Parma
>THE classic Aussie pub food
>American
lmao

>>17105350
Have you ever seen authetic italian pizza? You're lucky if your slice of pizza has any cheese on it at all, thats how poor they are.

>>17105987
Are people like you why pizza is just an oily layer of cheapskate fat by law still legal to call cheese?

>>17105335
>poverty food culture
>new country has beef, milk, all manner of vegetables so plentiful poor people can stuff themselves
>it's america time

>>17105342
This is very, very, very, very, very exceedingly obviously not parmesan and the fact that you couldn't recognize that means you should cook moar before sharing your opinion.

>>17105903
ay Tone
let me intaject for a moment here
what you's referan to as chicken parmigiana is actually Chicken Parm, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Chicken + Parm.
Chicken ain't a main dish unto itself, but ratha anotha fresh on-tray of an old country-style full course made just like my mutha used ta make.

>>17105350
>I can't imagine being from a country so poor that you guys hate cheese
First of all you should use good cheese, that shit used on pizza is barely cheese most of the time

>>17105987
> you're lucky if your slice of pizza has any cheese on it at all
The pizza is all for yourself in Italy so you eat all the amount of cheese in it, should be around 180g.
> thats how poor they are.
It's morel like "that's how fat you are"

>>17105765
> The difference is actually in quadrupled portion sizes
That's because american eat more
> "aMama we can afford the meat now bless the america"
Italians never ever cheaped on food. If there was some money extra, it would have gone for food

>>17106836
God, good neopolitan is so fucking tasty. Also, sounds weird, tastes good: spicy honey with pizza.

>>17105342
Real parmesan isn't that expensive. Grate an entire $14 block of Parmigiano Reggiano and see how much you end up with.

>>17106904
> Real parmesan isn't that expensive
it kinda is, at least the good stuff.
Here parmigiano DOP aged 30 months (buying it less aged it's just wasting money) it's 26EUR/kg, without talking about the special variety (like the "40 months, red cows") that can be priced even 50eur/kg
It's definitively an expensive cheese

>>17105335
>hilarious amounts of parmesan into meatballs or chicken schnitzel
This is basically the national dish of Australia

>>17105335
so?

>>17105818
>in 1950 food was cheaper in italy
Lol, do you even grasp the power of scientific agriculture?
Not saying it's good but it certainly gets results.
Meat was so cheap in America compared to Europe in the mid 20th century that multiple nations accused the US of dumping and feeding arsenic to chickens. It even became a notable diplomatic dispute with France to the point of us putting heavy tariffs on French mustard.

>>17105765
>bless the america
Things that nobody outside america ever said

>>17107177
And it's served with chips, salad and a pot.

>>17105335
You make it sound like a bad thing.

>>17105335
And? Parmesan is fantastic.

>>17108524
mm

fuck you, Italian American (ie American food) is good and doesn't need criticism or acceptance from stinky swarthy Italian wops just because Americans have historically been able to afford meat

>>17108560
don't post pedo pictures

>>17108565
no, please keep doing it

>>17108565
what's wrong with cute and funny pics?

>>17105968
>Originating in the Italian neighborhoods along the east coast [of America], chicken parmigiana eventually spread to restaurants and published cookbooks of the 1950s. Before long, the dish was everywhere—even appearing on menus at restaurants that were decidedly not Italian.

>>17108797
>trusting "literally anyone can edit the pages" pedia
lmao

>>17107177
>basically
anon it IS the national dish, it's the one thing that's exactly the same in all states and territories
