I have never encountered this meal in continental Europe.
Is this purely american media fiction, or is this something people actually make and eat? How do you eat it, even?

Literally no one in America cares about your bitch ass
I put lime juice in my ragu

[Anonymous No.18842151]

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.

I'm italian american and we never ate this. We made meatballs in sauce. Pasta with ragù but never spaghetti, it's for kids. Here in Italy no one eats this.

I really think it was made for kids or looked interesting so someone took it and said this is Italian, technically the ingredients are, we just don't put them together.

It was invented in the USA

You eat it by slicing a portion of meatball, then twirling spaghetti around your fork, and caping it off with the piece of meat, and eating the whole bite. Literally the only way that shit tier pasta known as "spaghetti" is good, horrible shit, and tomato sauce pasta is worse, only salvaged by big pieces of meat, italian sausage works too to make it a not so shit dish

True but it's not difficult to see why such a dish came to life, in southern italy (Napoli in particular) it's common to make ragu either with bigger meat pieces or with minced meat balls and with more tomato (see ragu napoletano and lasagne napoletane)

Spaghetti and meatballs is a dish that was invented and popularized in America, anon. Same with chicken parmesan, eggs benedict, and the modern style of pizza that is known and preferred around the world (nobody except for the Italians prefers neapolitan style pizza over NY style (pic related) pizza.)

Oh yeah, what a fucking wild idea. Ground meat shaped into balls and served with noodles and sauce. Only a capitalist American could think of something like that. Sophisticated Europeans like myself couldnt even comprehend something so bizarre.

Not even Italians outside of Napoli eat pizza napoletana that often. Usually with not much crust and with more cheese, but still cooked at high temp. And in Rome they eat a pizza that is similar to NY as in it's crunchy and with little to no crust

bread with pasta is redundant. it's just starch with more starch. it's like having mashed potatoes with bread.

that being said i do love me some garlic bread, but if garlic bread is to be included the dish would be better without the spaghetti so it was garlic bread with meatballs and tomato sauce.

That's like saying if you have a pasta dish with marinara sauce, you can't have any tomatoes in a salad beforehand because "it's redundant". Get back to the deep fryer Muhammad, someone just ordered a large fry.

I mean yeah? But humans love that shit, why tf do you think Pizza places also sell breadsticks? The Sauce (pizza/spaghetti) is what the connecting factor.

>I'M LOSING MY MIND!!
I haven't eaten a plate of spaghetti and meatballs in probably 20 years, but it's the first thing that convinced me Italians are full of shit, and have no clue why they like the things they like beyond, "that's how nonna did it!" I've had this conversation a million times, and it always just comes down to, "n-no! we eat THIS pasta with THIS sauce! and the meat dish is served SEPARATELY from the pasta dish", and it's like, okay, but why? It's pretty much the ur-tier example of, "this thing is bad because...it just is, okay!"

My dad used to sing this to me and my siblings when were little :)

[Anonymous No.18845699]

>>18845686
I only remembered the first couple of verses, but looking at it now, what even is the moral of the song? If my dad sung that to me when I was 4 my brother and I would have immediately pocketed a couple meatballs and then snuck out to bury them in the yard later that night, and then come out every day for months to see who's meatball tree was growing first.

Cut the meatball in half, put it in your mouth, chew, and swallow. Twirl spaghetti, put it in your mouth, chew, and swallow. Get a bit of both then put it in your mouth, chew, and swallow.

I never really understood it either when I was growing up, but then I realized it's 100% a poor fag thing. If you have a few kids and not a lot of money to work with it's a lot easier to make a big pot of spaghetti and then stretch it out with some cheap bread on the side. People who grew up that way just think it's normal, and most likely have repressed memories of going to bed hungry after eating spaghetti without some bread "to mop up the sauce". It's the same thing with people who think it's normal to drink soda throughout the day, complain that crinkle cut fries don't get enough love, complain that there aren't enough lagers on tap, and only order their burgers well-done, assuming they ever go anywhere that asks.

All "Italian" food is complete dogshit.

Nothing but carbohydrates and bland, disgusting tomato sauce. IDGAF if you're from Italy or not, your faggot assed food is DOGSHIT. Italians are basically african rape babies, with low IQs to match their Negroid heritage. Fuck off, Wops.

yes, native Italians are quite uninventive. They literally had to send millions of unwashed Immigrants to steal American recipes.

my mom made it every week for me when growing up. i still do it but just because its cheap, you get to mix bread with the meat and produce the same meal.

red sauce eye talian is disgusting if it's not done well (which is basically everywhere that isn't northern NJ, southern CT, the four boroughs of NYC, staten island, nassau county and no suffolk not you)

even here it's not usually good but when it's done right you might see why it took the cuntry by storm like 75 years ago
