In the image: pizza with potatoes, a typical roman recipe

You might as well put some mashed potatoes in your rice and some pasta in a sandwich while you're at it.
It's like someone said "what type of carbs would you like with this meal" and the answer was "yes".
Sorry, but why should people care about what sounds terrible to you?
> put some mashed potatoes in your rice and some pasta in a sandwich while you're at it
If you weren't too obsessed with yourself, you'll know that that pasta actually exists, it's called "pasta e patate" and someone has put it in a sandwich for sure...
there is also a very popular variant made of pasta, potatoes and mussels.

The recipe I'm talking about come from Italian rural tradition, when people were poor and carbs were the only thing they could afford to eat to keep being alive, not a privileged people's self inflicted fictional problem.
Sorry for the brutal honesty.
But you anglophones are not qualified to judge other culture's food. Your food is usually terrible.
I never asked you to care what sounds terrible to me.
Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, most are full of shit, and I don't really care if you don't like mine.
If you supposedly don't care what I think, why bother trying to tell me my opinion is wrong? You can't have it both ways.
> you weren't too obsessed with yourself, you'll know that that pasta actually exists
Ok sure buddy. It's totally on me that a meal that may consist of entirely carbs is not common/popular outside of Italy. Totally my fault.
> It's like someone asked you "what are you first World problems" and your answer was "yes"
Eating a diet of just carbs is literally not a first world problem, it's a 3rd world problem because people can't afford (or can't adequately store) proteins, fresh vegetables etc.

People have eaten much worse sounding things than your double-carb special, no doubt. The difference is - you're bollocking on like it's a perfect meal, and the idea that it doesn't sound appealing is apparently insulting to you.
Who could have possibly ever foreseen that a dish made out of necessity because people literally had nothing more than two kinds of otherwise bland starchy carbohydrates, would not seem appealing when other options are available?
An opinion isn't brutal honesty bub. You have one, I have one. The difference is I am well aware that mine is an opinion.
Good job on the generalisations though. "the food of half a billion people is usually terrible, here come try some carbs on carbs.".
