I found it funny that when the American said she couldnt name any other Italian food other than pasta and pizza and the Italian begins by mentioning three pasta dishes lmao
I just needed to stop the video to check the comments if someone would mention it xD... I would have mentioned Minestrone at least this soup can be without pasta or Carpaccio. I am sure that Itlay has a lot of fish-based diches, too. Some well-known desserts are Panna Cotta, Tiramisu...
@@juanantoniojimenez927 Yes, there are many... Parmigiana, Risotto, Meatballs with sauce, many meat, vegetable and fish dishes. Then the desserts of which there are many! Every Italian region has its own dishes!
@@AntonGrey8 e lei era anche del nord! Cacchio, poteva citare la polenta, i canederli, la bistecca alla fiorentina, il risotto alla milanese, l'ossobuco, la cotoletta.... posso andare avanti all'infinito
tbh Ravioli and Tortellini are not strictly speaking a kind of "pasta". Pasta is only limited to what has no stuffing in it (like maccheroni, fusilli, spaghetti, tagliatelle, and so on). since both Ravioli and Tortellini are stuffed with something else, usually with ricotta and spinach or some kind of meat then they are not strictly speaking a kind of pasta, even if they are a first course dish. on the other hand, even from the Italian standards, lasagna is a kind of pasta.
The stereotypes i've heard of these 4 countries : Us : guns , fat people , don't know anything about geography France : smoke a lot , rude people , only live in Paris , only eat croissants and baguettes , a lot of rats , fancy Italy : Use their hand all the time , only eat pasta , speak loud , love dance , love football Spain : love dance , love music , love football , speak loud , only live in Madrid or Barcelona
Wait, but not only are Spanish and Latinos different; Latinos are also not a monolith and are extremely different from one another (there’s over 20 countries in the region 😉)
The statement "American culture's kind of exported everywhere nowadays" kinda made me mad at first, because we europeans (I'm italian) feel the opposite, we feel like our cultures are the ones being absorbed by the US, which also is true. But after thinking about that statement for a little while, there's no way to deny that it is correct. American media is without any doubt the most developed and influent media in the world and of course it's going to export American culture everywhere. Such a fascinating matter.
Scusa ma sono un po confuso : l'Italia ha 2500 anni di storia e cultura. Non devo elencare l'apporto che ha dato alle moderni paesi. Poi arrivano sti Barbari con i social etc... non trovano di meglio da fare che mettere l'ananas sulla Pizza.
Polenta, parmigiana, focaccia, risotto, cicchetti, bruschetta, affettati e formaggi di ogni tipo, cous cous, pesce di ogni tipo, secondi di carne di ogni tipo tra cui, cotoletta alla milanese, vitello tonnato, involtini, bistecca fiorentina, scaloppine al limone, ecc., bagna cauda, frutti di mare, panzerotti, arancini, cassata, babbà, tiramisù, cannoli, gelato, potrei continuare veramente all'infinito.
@@lyna5781Bagna cauda is a typical preparation from Piedmont (North Italy) prepared with anchovies, oil and garlic and used as a sauce for fresh autumn vegetables :)
Italian here, the third stereotype is the most wrong of the three It depends case by case, We are loud yes!😂 We aren't lazy, i don't know all my country to speak for all of us i started to work since i was 15 and my family never allowed me to jerking around 😂 it's true that for us family it's a priority but some people think that we don't leave the family house even over our 30's, it's not true it depends case by case At least for me, i love my family very much but i need my independence i left my family home 5 years ago when i was 20
Well, same stereotypes for Spanish people too:Lazies, louders.... but isn't true neither. About the family sterotype we have the same but I think italians more than us.
Fiorentina steak, cartoccio fish, artichokes alla Romana, baccalà mantecato, liver alla veneziana, milk roast veal, piemontese mixer boiled meat, caciucco alla livornese and many more.... Probably she really like first dishes.
I love France. As a Brit, I've only been to France twice, went to Disney Land Paris as a kid (can't remember much from it) and went to a Chateau in Lanouaille, near Limoges in the South of France, and every single French person I met there was really nice. I know a couple of people from Paris and they're generally like the stereotype of Parisians, but honestly in the rest of France people are so nice and so welcoming, and I've even experienced them helping with language when you try to speak French, either trying to understand what you're saying or correcting your pronunciation (in a constructive way) so the French woman is right, people need to see more of France than just Paris and they will realise the people are lovely, especially us Brits who generally like to act like we hate the French and France, usually we're not serious cos we'll still go to France on holiday, but yeah people just need to travel more
As a Dutchie, I really don't have any problems with any stereotypes. If tourists expect us to walk around in clogs, live in windmills, surrounded by vast tulip fields, go by boat to our work where we make cheese and spend our evenings eating herring, smoking massive amounts of weed and visiting prostitutes - if they spend their money to discover all that, it's fine. We'll even dress up in ancient folk costumes if that's what's needed to give them a good time.
How could you forget the bicycles and that beautiful beautiful infrastructure? Regardless, it is interesting to hear your perspective on it, because for people I have known in my social circles, we think of the Netherlands for being a safe place to be in public spaces and to easily get around in multiple ways.
@@MightyFineMan I'll give you another stereotype - which the Dutch like to refer to if you give 'em the chance: all our bikes were stolen by the Germans in the Second World War - and we can't stop remembering them we want 'em back. 😜 Our most impressive bike roads are between Schipluiden and Maasland. They're 20 cm wide dirt paths. Swivel left and you'll end up in the water, swivel right and you'll make a drop of about 3 meters. They're quite popular in the weekends. Natives are even able to pass one another in different directions - although stepping down is required. And no, I'm not pulling your leg!
@@silverchairsg We are very tall. And many of us like orange - but whether that has to do with the love for our Royal family or our football team is unclear. And yes, we have a reputation of being very blunt and direct. We like it that way: there's nothing to hide behind and no misunderstandings. And sure - dikes. We got lots of them. But modern dikes are not that interesting. They are quite wide with a gentle slope. They're much more resistant that way - but not quite worth sightseeing. For that we got a bunch of minor dikes which are not that critical.
@@atstrollz6875 I'm happy I wasn't the only one to think about it ^^ There are several dishes (probably a lot, but I'm not Italian so I don't know them) not related to pasta/pizza, like risotto for example. But the only examples she gave are "pasta-like" 😅
Pasta/rice/polenta/gnocchi (potatoes) are first courses, for sure I can't start listing all the second courses with meat or fish and/or vegetables, not to mention the huge number of cheeses, prosciutti and cured meats (more than any country, France included), useless to add more (eg dozens of types of pastries/cakes/gelati). Again, I can understand an American who think to pasta and pizza, but that a French or any other European doesn't know the variety of Italian (regional) cuisine it makes no sense.
@@lazios yeah, but it's not so hard to understand why actually There are Italian restaurants everywhere in Europe. And in all of them, you only get pizzas/ pastas/... Even when it's not the main thing about the dish, there is still pasta to eat with
Dude , In italy we have nearly every type of cusine. We have not only pasta and pizza with a monstrously amount of variations of them but we also have rice like risotto alla Milanese , meat (from different animals: pig,cow,rabbit,birds , deer, etc.) , sweets , nearly every vegetables on the planet, and mostly sea food like mussles,crabs, sea nails and lot of type of fishes.
True. Read Pellegrino Artusi's cookbook "La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene" (usually translated into English as "Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating", but I would prefer to translate it as "knowledge of the cuisine and the art of eating well.") It reads like a novel. Artusi was from upper middle or upper class descent and visited families around Italy. And he ate with them, as they, their personnel, cooked for their meal. After each visit, he published his experiences in a column, in a newspaper. In 1891, these collected columns got first published in book form. IIRC French "haute cuisine" cook Escoffier got a copy of Artusi's and felt he needed to do a version for French cuisine. Now France has a cookbook for everyday life for the more ambitious household, but less than Escoffier, I would argue, called something like "La cuisine de ma tante Marie" (Aunt Marie's cuisine - both Italian cucina and French cuisine mean kitchen but it's about the important collective recipes of a culture and so in English that's "cuisine"). I'd say that Artusi's recipes are between Aunt Marie and Escoffier. The major distinction in Italian cuisine is that it relies on the best ingredients, as fresh as possible, that are generally not processed a lot. The country has a very long coast and access to sea food is very good. France at its widest is some 1,000 km and its NE/SW middle is almost empty so many places are far away from fresh variation and in times before the refrigerator, blending may have been necessary for taste's sake, especially in less than very-well-to-do households. What makes Artusi's book interesting is that he included comments from his readers. As he describes last weekend's meal at Mrs. X's in A, and how it was prepared, Mrs. Y in B then responds in writing that they would never use ingredient 3, but add ingredient 9 in this dish.
I find Italians to be a bit too much of a food snob, and a bit closed-minded in this sense, as their standard for best food is always based on their cooking methods, and their kinds of ingredients, which isn't a lot if you compare to the rest of the world. For example, in Korean cuisine, it is very common to use monstrous amounts of raw garlic, onions, fish sauce which that would scare any Italian away. If you use too many chilies, for an Italian and many Europeans, that means your ingredients are poor quality, because you must mask the poor flavor with all those spices. That is definitely not true at all, especially with Asian cuisine, where it is all about the bald flavors. I remember some Italians trying pho for the first time, and they were disgusted with the cilantro/coriander in it. They complained that it tasted like soap, which I find it strange, because cilantro has originated in Southern Europe and other parts of the Mediterranean, plus basil itself has a very strong perfumy scent. And then, if you cook with any meats they are not familiar with, whether it'd be geoducks, penis fish, dogs, snakes, turtles, frogs, spiders, scorpions, silkworms, etc, they would find it completely horrifying and disgusting, when for many people, that is just part of their culture they grew up eating. The only Asian cuisine Italians seem to respect is Japanese, which I find it to be one of the blandest of all Asian cuisines, with not a large variation in flavor profile (no offense). It's kinda ironic, because if you ask Koreans about Italian food, they consider it as one of the best cuisines in the world along French cuisine, and would fantasize about going to Italian restaurants on special occasions, like on a date.
dude just pasta and pizza are well enough to make the italian cuisine one of the greatests if not the absolute greatest , to me atleast it's my favorite country's cuisine
@@lissandrafreljord7913 first as any country , the culture doesn't define every people that lives in it since not every one is the same . Second they are not closed-minded , you are maybe confusing the fact of people changing our recipes of dishes with things that normally doesn't go well them ( we know because some of us try them too) with accepting other country cusine which is not entirly true. Third you missed a little part of the comment when I said we have nearly everything, we just don't have insects and esotic animals , so saying isn't a lot , it's just ...*forgive me*....bullshit. Fourth garlic,onion and fish sauce REALLY? The basic ingredients for 80% for our dishes !!? Fifth again too many chilies REALLY? When in the South especially Calabria it's all about spicy food. Sixth i don't know which italians you found but I searched for the food and i can assure it's a plate they would eat. Seventh c'mon don't blame on the italians . It's all the Western culture that they find eating insects, spiders,snakes ,dogs or cats etc. weird . In this case it's a problem of awareness instead of taste and yhea it's a bad thing , but don't try saying that somone from the U.S. or North America wouldn't feel the same . Also I know a lot of italian people that try to expand their horizons on this last topic
Expecially in the tourist destinations many gipsy are still a problem, we hate that they spoil your experience in travelling our country and the fact that they take advantage of our law system using underage or pregnant women as thieves
Throwing out all the random stereotypes and phrases that come to mind: Spanish: Passionate, great lovers, paella, Spanish Inquisition, Spanish Armada that tried to invade England but got wiped out by storms, Conquistadors, Cortez, Reconquista, Moors, the medieval kingdoms of Aragon, Castille, etc, El Cid Campeador (anyone played Age of Empires 2?) France: Romantic, lovers, philosophy, cheese, escargot, wine, champagne, French Revolution, Voltaire, Diderot and his encycleopedia, all those 18th century French mathematicians, Napoleon and his Grande Armee, Continental system, Louis the Sun King, Jean D Arc (Joan of Arc), Hundred Years War, Troubadors, Le Morte De Arthur (King Arthur's Tale), L Hopital's Rule Italy: Pizza, pasta, Italian mafia, Sicily, hand gestures, Venice, Rome, the Pope, ancient Rome, SPQR, Julius Caesar, the various Italian socii (tribes who were friends/allies of Rome such as the Samnites, Volscii, etc), Mario, Via Appia, Roman Forum, Octavian Augustus, Romulus and Remus, seven hills of Rome, too many to mention.
As someone from Castille, it makes me happy to hear someone mention El Cid! Also the reconquista, too bad Castille is nothing like it used to be ages ago hahah
@@caroskaffee3052 Well Hitler's the most famous export of Germany... Here's the ones that come to mind for me: Bavaria, Holy Roman Empire, Teutonic Order, Beer, Sauerkraut, all the WW2 stuff which I won't bother to mention, Prussia, Goethe, Bismarck "Iron and Blood", Schliffen Plan, Faust, Gottendamrung, Valkyrie, Black Forest + cake, Germania (ancient Roman times), Teutoberg forest, Roman limes along the Rhine & Danube, Arminius, Landschneckts, burghers, Meister Eckhart, that funny Kalingrad Oblast which is in a totally weird position in the middle of Germany, Weimar Republic & hyperinflation. Well I'm a bit of a history nerd, so I guess for most people it would just be Hitler, Frankfurters, Beer, Ocktoberfest, Bavarian costume, Volkswagon and German engineering.
I'm quite surprised that they don't talk about (personnaly, as a french) the only sterotype that make me angry : frenches are cowards who always surrender. Because for me, except the "kind" stereotypes on french people, like wine consumption and romantic / fancy country, which are more annoying for tourists who quickly are disenchanted when coming to France, others stereotypes such as rude and proud people are clichés french are making fun of, because we know we are quite like that sometimes. For exemple, "french people is always angry and complain everytime" is known for being quite true, and most of french are kinda proud of it in fact. That's why french mostly don't care about such things. It's only some points, which are injustified and has even been proven to be false trought history that's french are upset of. Nice video anyway, quite instructive, there was stereotype of which I was unaware.
Alright. Enough of this! If y'all gonna feature Spain, France, and Italy, then y'all better do a food and drink battle episode: wines, cheeses, cured meats, etc. Sparkling Wines: Cava vs Champagne vs Prosecco Red Wines: Tempranillo vs Pinot Noir vs Nebbiolo White Wines: Albariño vs Sauvignon Blanc vs Trebbiano Soft Cheeses: Caña de Cabra vs. Brie vs. Mozzarella Semi-Hard Cheeses: Manchego vs Comté vs Pecorino Toscano Hard Cheeses: Zamorano vs Beaufort vs Parmigiano Reggiano Blue Cheeses: Cabrales vs Roquefort vs Gorgonzola Cured Hams: Jamon Iberico vs Jambon de Bayonne vs Prosciutto di Parma Let the Hunger Games begin!!!
@@giuseppedamora. I must admit, Italian food is my absolute weakness. I guess it's because I grew up eating a lot of it, though probably a bastardized version (hehe, I'm Argentinean). But I would say when it comes to pastries, no one does it better than France. Those folks know how to manipulate butter in all its shapes and forms. Anything with fatty milk (butter, cheese, cream, etc.), France is bound to win (maybe because it has a more Northern, colder climate, so they require a fattier diet, hence they experimented more with saturated fats). Italians and Spaniards tend to have a more Mediterranean diet (more olive oil), though I am aware that in the mountains of the Alps, Pyrenees, etc., they tend to eat more fattening dishes. I have yet to try Jamon Iberico, but from what it seems, it does have a richer deep red color with more marbling than Prosciutto di Parma, while coated with a glistening layer of fat, and it is considered more luxurious. Regardless, if I could only eat one of these 3 cuisines for the rest of my life, without hesitation, I'll take Italian any day of the week.
WTF! You put Champagne in the Sparkling Wines category. Don't say this in France, it will been perceive as offensive. Sparkling Wines are mostly made with low cost grape, who take to much sun, don't have enough rain, or grow up in the poorest soil. That's mainly why we don't drink Spanish or Italian wine in France, too much sun and dry soil don't make good grape, and the good ones are more expensive and less tasty than ours. For the "charcuterie" (cold meat), they don't put enough grease inside. Grease is a flavour enhancer, your meat need to be fat to be tasty, as you can see in the Wagyu beef. And finally, for the cheeses, we have around 1000 different cheeses in France, so Spanish ones doesn't exist here, but there is few Italian ones, like Gorgonzola or Mozza di Buffala, who are good but less appreciate than French ones.
That's a question for me 😁 Food and alcohol is my job, and being french with one side of my family being french/spanish from Basque and Catalonia, and the other half being french/italian from Piémont and Aoste. Sparkling Wines: Champagne Red Wines: Nebbiolo White Wines: Albariño Soft Cheeses: Caña de Cabra vs. Brie vs. Mozzarella ( i wouldn't have choose this cheese to be honest ) but out of this list Brie Semi-Hard Cheeses: Comté Hard Cheeses: Parmigiano Reggiano Blue Cheeses: Roquefort Cured Hams: Jamon Iberico I'll go with that, and too bad you didn't include the portuguese cousin, they have amazing food, wine, cheese, but they are always forgot 😫
Ravioli and tortellini are pasta too 😂 so even the italian girl can't tell us italian dishes that are not pasta and I know italian people and they ate pasta maybe not every day but maybe 4-5 days a week 😅
Pasta can come in different ways. Anyway the typical pasta is from southern italy, where I live in the North we tipically have Polenta (corn flour) with cheese or mushrooms, risotto or many soups with beans or vegetables especially in the winters. Pork and all the different cured meat such as Prosciutto, Coppa, Guanciale or more strange things like quails, snails and Capon (rooster without balls)
Indeed, because it' s quick and easy, but in the traditional regional italian cuisine there are so many dishes which are not pasta: hundreds of different soups ,risotti polente, gnocchi,, and recipies based only on vegetables for example: ribollita, acquacotta, pappa al pomodoro, zuppa frantoiana, zuppa lombarda, caponata, gurguglione, melanzane alla parmigiana, zucchini ripieni, risotto allo zafferano...to name a few.Not talking about the sea food which is amazing and it is prepared in so many different ways.Meat and venaison are also prepared according to hundreds of recipies. In Italy you can eat a different dish every day for several years before you eat the same.
cuervonegro1983 So what? Then she listed other foods anyway. "I know italian people and they eat pasta maybe not every day but maybe 4-5 days a week", do you know all of us? And what's your problem about that?
That Italian is the stereotype of "dumb blonde". Mafia is everywhere but she's from the north and think that it's wonderland. 😂 Just from this you can understand she has stereotypes on her own country.
In France, If you go in the countryside, they cannot speak any english ?! Umm honestly I don t think so. I live kinda in the countryside and it s true that the old generation cannot speak English well but the younger generation (like me) can. So sorry but (Im not mad guys), for me, from my experience, it s not true at all.
Beh, oltre alla pasta ci sono gli ortaggi, usati molto e coltivati in Italia, poi c'è la carne e pesce. Il riso cucinato in vari modi, le minestre e minestroni d'inverno...la polenta. La salumeria e formaggi ( l'Italia è un grosso produttore di formaggi che vengono anche esportati). La ragazza del video forse presa dall' emozione non li ha saputi elencare...😏
France is just known for it's cheeses and wines, one could also be proud of their export products, and cultural history. I think it sounds more like the stereotyping is the problem, people assuming things on you because of your identity or nationality. And not realizing it is just a stereotype - that is all it is.
the biggest stereotype about Italians and that all of Italy is like Sicily or the Neapolitans (given by the fact that it is precisely the inhabitants of these regions who have emigrated around the world) not to mention that in Italy there are 20 regions, each with its own dialect and typical food, in some northern regions they even speak a dialect of German, in others a dialect close to French, while in Sardinia it is similar to Catalan. in Calabria some municipalities speak Albanian Europe is a place immensely rich in history, only those who were born there or lived there for a long time and have traveled around can understand certain facets well.
Well. Despacito - that song from the Spanish-speaking country called the 🇺🇸 United States/Estados Unidos, precisely its territory of 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico. 🙃 Since "Despacito" is pronounced "despathito" in Spain 🇪🇸, it was quite clear for me as a 🇫🇮 non-native speaker of 🇪🇸 Spanish Spanish that it isn't from Spain. When I listen to it, I try to repeat it in the Spanish way instead. 🤓 EDIT: I have been listening to the following Spanish singers and groups (of some of them just one song): La Oreja de Van Gogh, El Sueño de Morfeo, Amaral, Fran Perea, Santa Justa Klan, Chanel, Álvaro Soler, Dark Moor, Megara, Las Ketchup, Pastora Soler, Anabel Conde, Beth, David Civera, Sergio Dalma, David Bisbal, La Quinta Estación, Alaska y Dinarama, Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas, Mecano, Melendi, Mocedades, Pignoise and obviously Enrique Iglesias. But I also prefer the Spanish versions from 🇮🇹 Eros Ramazzotti, Nek and Laura Pausini (scusi, io non parlo italiano).
I was curious about if speaking Spanish is something in Finland that would be helpful at work. It’s definitely helpful in the US.. but at least when I’ve visited Estonia it seems like Spanish speakers are in high demand. I saw advertisements for higher pay if you could speak Spanish. Not sure if that was just for the tourism industry or what.
@@ran_d_d Well, the Spanish TV series Los Serrano was extremely popular in Finland in 2007-2009 which caused a massive spike in those who wanted to learn Spanish - I started three years earlier but it definitely helped the learning process. In the past, the Departments of Finnish, Nordic languages, English, French and German used to have more prestige at the university while Spanish, Italian and R*ssian were minor players so to speak - there was even talk that their departments would be shut down, but only the obvious one doesn't exist anymore and was replaced by Chinese at the university where I was at. I didn't graduate due to the discrimination by the staff, so I can't really say how it helps (I was meant to become a Spanish teacher). I have been on a sick leave since then. Sorry. But I can say that it did help me to skip certain parts of the application process when I attempted applying for Finnair's flight school - in some industries being international is important. 👍 And apparently we have had a Spanish dentist in my small -ish hometown near the larger city of Tampere. 😊
No es raro que los artistas italianos hagan versiones en español de sus canciones. Ya les "robamos" a la Carrá hace muchos años, y no es raro que se quiera mucho en España a la Pausini, porque es un encanto.@@miguelm.a7462
Exactly, that’s the first thing she should have said. As a Spanish woman, I thought the Spanish girl not saying anything until it was pointed out to her, beyond weird.
As an American, I consider ravioli, lasagna, tortellini, etc. to be types/kinds of pasta as well. I can't believe that one of my fellow Americans didn't know that lasagna was Italian! (My apologies.) Generally speaking, though, Italians are very passionate people, but especially when it comes to food. Many people here in America don't have time to make food from scratch the way that many Italian grandmas do. Instead, we usually resort to fast food or even microwaveable food sometimes. These might not be the healthiest or best-tasting, but here in America we are BUSY and don't have a lot of time to make food the slow, traditional way.
Italians are also busy, as are the Spanish or the Portuguese, but we still find time to cook a meal from scratch after a long day at work. I think Americans just don't value good, healthy food as much as we do and, as a result, see cooking as a drag. It doesn't even take that long to make a dish like spaghetti alla carbonara... and while tagliatelle al ragù might take a bit longer, you don't need to be there throughout the whole process. You just let it simmer and get on with whatever needs doing (I can hang my washing out, have a shower and watch a little TV or read a book in the meantime). Furthermore, I find cooking very therapeutic. Give it a try! 😉
Everyone is busy, and we don't spend who knows how many hours cooking. let's say it's a cultural thing that you in America don't have, and you prefer to eat ridiculous things that are bad for you
The stereotype of our México, lindo y querido, is often reduced to tacos, tequila and drug cartels. People are totally ignorant of Mexico’s history, geography (they only think about beaches), incredible cuisine, contributions to music, diverse population, etc. I get so tired of people immediately asking if I feel safe where I live. México is so much more than silly stereotypes.
Ibiza and Mallorca - very traditional "teen" holliday vacation location, I think that also has partly to do with it. Don't forget the Venga Boys; Oh, We're going to Ibiza. 🎶
quick question im an american and i dont like cheese but im also Italian. If I went to italy and got pizza with no cheese on it would they question me because i normally get pizza with no cheese on it
This is not unique to Americans. Belgians mistakenly think that fries are Belgian when they were created in Paris. A lot of people think Kinder is germann when it's italian. A lot of people think mayonnaise is French when it's spanish.
Ok, so, about stereotypes, let me start by saying that I'm Catalan, from Barcelona. I'm specifying 'cause Spain it's quite big and has different diets and such. In Catalonia we have some Spanish dishes from other parts of Spain like the "fabada asturiana" for instance, but our general diet would be more similar to the Italian, in fact, we follow the Mediterranean diet (basically because we are Mediterranean), which is known to be the most well-balanced diet in the world. So, yes, I've lived in Italy for two months and I've travelled around different cities as well multiple times and yes, there is some variety. And some other incredible dishes like "Melanzana alla Parmigiana" (eggplant/aubergine with parmigian), the "rissotto", well "rissotti" 'cause there are multiple times. My favourite one is the mushroom rissotto with parmigian. Salads with mozzarella di bufala... Then deserts like "Panacota" ("Panna cotta" in Italian) for instance, again there are some different kinds, there's the standardone and some variants, the name translated means "cooked cream". In fact, when you go to a restaurant, the menu will probably have the pasta and pizza entrances, but they will always have something called "antipasti" as well, which are some starting dishes (appetizers), then "rissotti", and other dishes, wines and deserts. Here in Catalonia we follow a similar diet like I said, tohwr than traditional dishes. Even in Greece. And not just the diet, we share some cultural similarities, some matters, etc. We all have our own thing, yes, but we share some other things. I mean, watching the movies My big fat greek wedding 1 and 2, living in Italy, going to the South of France/Northern-Catalonia, meeting people from Albania, Malta, etc. I can definitely see those similarities. And I will close with a song by Joan Manuel Serrat (Fun fact! Joan is "John" in Catalan, "juan" in Spanish and it's a male's name, and "Joan" in English it's a female name). That song is called "Nací en el Mediiterraneo" ( I was born in the Mediterranean), the cover I'm sharing was created relate to the refugee movement of Syrians due to the Syrian War with the motto: "volem acollir" (we want to welcome): ua-cam.com/video/HMM0PCYWobw/v-deo.htmlsi=Wb6267rja5GhdRTV

As for the third one of the Italian, that Italians are too attached to their mother, I agree with that, and not only Italy but also Spain, Portugal and Latin America too obviously, since the culture of affection was brought here from southern Europe hahaha since those 3 are among the largest European immigrants in Latin America . Our family culture maintains very strong family ties and is deeply rooted in tradition, honor and loyalty. We have a big family, and different generations live together, even if they are old, affection within the family is a huge culture in southern Latin Europe and Latin America, we are very attached to our parents, it’s just part of our culture 🤷🏻♂️ . If you compare the Northern Europeans family culture, it’s very different… That is why Anglos, Germans and Scandinavians get shocked that, when they realize, many from southern Latin Europeans or Latin Americans still live with their parents… since their family culture is not as attached as ours… They have this rule when their children turn 18-20 years old they have to leave home and live on their own now 💀(not all)
And that's why i love France a lot on those kind of thing, because it's the only country who is truly baised on both latin and german culture, and have a strong north and south division. So on those kind of thing it's always fun because in south France you will find this same strong family dynamic and nobody is shocked seeing a kid staying with his parents while being 25 or 30, but if you go up north, child who stay with their parents after reaching 18 or 20 are almost shamed. It's always fun to notice those big culture difference inside the same country with the same folk.
I’ve always wanted to go to France, but have been nervous about French people hating Americans ha. My step dad is from Italy, my grandparents are from Estonia, and I took Spanish in school for 5 years, so my attempt at pronunciation in French is terrible. Also the only thing holding me back from visiting Spain is bullfighting. I see too many depressing pictures of those poor bulls who have no idea why they’re being tortured. Having their horns lit on fire or being stabbed repeatedly and their eyes just look so damn sad and defeated. It’s good to hear that the majority of people don’t agree with it anymore.. I know what it’s like being an American to have majority support for things like healthcare or tightening gun laws and the government doesn’t do anything about it.
I'm french, and we don't hate americans specifically because they are americans, but because for most of them they don't seem to respect us by our standards. You see one stereotype is that french are rude (Parisians i guess?) but from our perspective it is americans that are rude by not saying hello, speaking loud etc.
@@Fox13440 I’ve never heard that French people are rude.. I can understand preferring people speak some French when visiting. Although French is one of the few languages offered in school, most choose Spanish because it’s more helpful over here in every day life and to practice. And I think all huge cities that are expensive to live in will get a reputation for not being welcoming, but isn’t Paris the most visited city in the world for tourists? With so many people visiting, you hear more comments than about other places. Good and bad. Culturally I guess Americans learning to say hello or good morning when entering a cafe or store isn’t something everyone picks up on since we are more accustomed to the people working being forced to say it to us so maybe it seems forced ha. Plus I hear people think Americans are fake so I try to not force anything. I usually just learn a few greetings when visiting somewhere to be friendly. Since Italy is very much like that too and I’ve visited my step dads family a lot there.
Tranquila, soy español, tengo más de medio siglo y jamás he presenciado una corrida. No en todas partes hay plazas de toros, tampoco hay corridas todos los días y no se obliga a nadie a presenciarlas.
I'm french and honestly I've never heard this stereotype that we don't like americans. I guess that it's true for some people, in the same way that some americans probably don't like french people, but it's not a generality.
@@liveloveandbelieve777 I’d guess the only Americans that would say they dislike French people only feel that way because they think French people dislike them haha. France looks like there are some awesome places to visit (I guess that’s obvious since it gets so much tourism). I’ll just have to work on pronunciation of more than basic stuff like good morning, thank you, etc before I visit.
I think most negative stereotypes no matter where they originated usually have a slight but of truth and a whole lot of exaggeration. When I went to Europe, I found the negative stereotypes I’d heard weren’t entirely true or entirely untrue. Also across the globe the way people treat you can sometimes depend on whether they perceive you to have money or important connections. People tend to be nicer when they think nicer benefits them.
I think it’s true that Americans lump in Latin America with Spain . In New York and most places in the states, they call anyone that speaks Spanish , a Spanish person . It’s like they don’t really differentiate us.
@@--julian_ I think it’s really funny when I tell someone my family comes from El Salvador and they start to tell me they were recently on vacation in Barcelona or tulum or Cartagena , and im like “ oh cool lol” but im thinking to myself , what do any of those places have to do with El Salvador
ME sorprende la importancia que se le da al hecho de que los estadounidenses llamen "spanish" a todos los hispanos, pero sin embargo haya una general aceptación al hecho de que se nos llame "LAtins". El término "Latin" se refiere, en principio, a la cultura romana, de ahí el término cultura Grecolatina, no a la cultura española o hispana. Sin embargo, "spanish" al menos relaciona el término con la cultura española, lo que incluye el idioma español, la religión católica, la carne asada, los alimentos freídos, la ropa, la forma en la que percibimos las relaciones sociales...

@@chriswhite6937 I think you're a genius, being able to mesure my ability to write and speak english based on a 2 lines long comment is impressive. Thanks for the compliment.
Funnily, I've been to all four countries. But I couldn't tell any Stereotypes, only observations. In France: people weren't too friendly when I asked them if they could speak English. In Strasbourg on the other hand they were kind of angry with my attempts of speaking french. In Spain everyone was soooo nice and easygoing, but I stayed with Spanish friends, so. I also liked the cities I saw (architecture, history) and the beach. I would love to live there. And I love siesta! I need it! In Italy I stayed very short at several places. Bari was wonderful, Napoli not so much. But I didn't get to know any people there because I was very young. My imoression was that women there were very pretty and well dressed. Then there were the Italians at the World Youth Day 2005 in Germany and they were indeed always the loudest even in a tram full of very tired people they were happily singing and shouting although everyone else seemed to be annoyed...
About Spain For me flamenco music , flamencas, paella, toros, toreros, sangría, fútbol..and others...like southamerican things put as spanish when no!... And more another things ....that upsets me. And even in Spain love and eat a lot of cheese and have a lot of good wine
"Italians talk with their hands" and then proceeds to gesture a lot with her hands. You guys don't even realise how much you move your hands when you talk.
Italian girl: There's not only pizza and pasta in italy. There's also lasagna (which contains pasta), ravioli (which is filled pasta), tortellini (which is - also - filled pasta). I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff, including a lot of seafood and such, but that was kinda silly there ^^ I would rather imagine a french person sitting at a table, eating a croissant and dipping it in a big bowl of coffee actually, perhaps with a cigarette.
There are many stereotypes about Spain 🇪🇸, in addition to the bulls 🐃, the party 🥳 and the beach 🏖️. For example: that we speak very loudly, that we are unpunctual, that all Spaniards take naps 😴, that we work little, that all Spaniards know how to dance flamenco 💃🏻, that in Spain it is always very hot 🥵... But yes, tourists who come to Spain love our beaches and our gastronomy 😁😁😁
English vs German vs Spanish vs French vs Italian vs Russian vs Turkish vs Arabic vs Mandarin vs Japanese vs Korean vs Indonesian *Best language comparaison.*
"We don't have only pasta in Italy" and then proceeded with a list of ONLY pasta dishes! I'm Italian and I was like wtf did she smoked?!? 😂 And then the american girl balanced all out saying that she didn't know Lasagna was italian...🤦
In italy we have so many stereotypes about each other (north va south) and it kinda pissed me when she was saying mafia from the south (it is true but it’s the way she used her hands to describe it)
as an Italian (born elsewhere) I agree with the stereotypes. In Rome I feel like a misfit because I'm not loud, I don't care for pasta and pizza and I don't treat my son like a baby
one stereotype that really annoys me is when american ones think that italian food is only maccheroni, lasagna and amatriciana when literally are the worse part 😦😦I mean tortellini,pasta with pesto and with tuna is 1000 times better!!also the bread is magnific😋😋😋
Spain and the bull fighting is part of the history of the culture, you don't need to ignore it. And I like the bull symbolism Spain has, also with the Bull symbolism of Europe and European. Just give it an updated twist. Running with the bulls, gets a lot of tourists. Spain should not be ashamed or ignore the bull and it's symbolism and cultural history. Not many other European countries still have this link that strongly present as Spain.
We are not. This is the personal view of this woman, but I don't think she is really representing our country's perspective on this. A lot of people in Spain are proud of the bullfight culture.
@nosoloporno69 it seems that you don't know what you are talking about. There are corridas in Portugal, only they don't kill the bull at the end (in front of the people, but they kill it anyway a couple of hours later). And even in Portugal they kill the bull, go to Alentejo and see it by yourself. In the case of France what you said is nonsense. There are still bull fights there. You are confused because that extreme-left tried last year to pass a law to forbide them, but that didn't have the popular support and they are completely legal today.
@@quothalas I would put it more like be proud of the bull, less on the fighting - it is a part of your but also "European" history. King Minos and the minotaur, the kidnapping of Europe, etc.
There is still bullfighting in south France, it's not 100% banned, and i hope it will stay that way, it's good to keep some tradition alive, especially very old like this one and who is a base of a few cultures around the south France and North Spain.
Mentre gli italoamericani provenivano dal sud Italia, la maggior parte degli italo-brasiliani provenivano dal nord Italia. Abbiamo (in Brasile) anche un dialetto nel sud del Brasile che deriva dal dialetto veneziano, si chiama "Talian".
I’m confused about the Despacito stereotype because the main artist is from the USA and the guest vocalist is Canadian. So what does this have to do with Spain?
Cause they sang in Spanish... It is a shit stereotype.... And they are come from Puerto Rico, not exactly USA although is part and at the same time not of this country. Guest vocalist is Canadian? Are you talking about Justin Bieber? This is not the famous original song, is just a remix they did together.
@@juangarrido7430Puerto Rico is part of the USA. Puerto Rico is not a country. It’s a US territory and people born there are US citizens. Puerto Rico has a US Attorney and a National Guard. If they apply for passports they will have US passports. They don’t need passports to travel to any of the other US territories or states nor did I need my passport when I went to Puerto Rico. One place I visited was the El Yunque which is part of the U.S. National Forest System. It’s weird to me that people don’t consider Puerto Rico part of the USA but at the time the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was a US territory. But everyone says the Japanese launched an attack on USA soil. Yeah I meant Justin Bieber. I thought the remix is what went #1.
@@anndeecosita3586 Not really, if you check in youtube, the original song without Justin is around 8 billion views and with Justin so much less, that's song was famous before Justin and when I went to Russia I was surprise I heard in clubs the original song not the remix. About Puerto Rico, is a ''Estado asociado'' of USA (I don't know to say in english sorry) but the fact is... they cannot vote for the presidents of USA then I don't considered them like americans from USA, Its a strange case, well... they are but they aren't part of this country, if they travel and go to the States they could vote but at the time they are living in the island of Puerto Rico they can't, that why I said that. I could understand foreigns people related Spain with the Macarena song, but Despacito?? WTF xD
Stereotypes are bad anyway, we all have our way to live and to think. I'm French and I can tell you : - there are so many other places in France than Paris wich are worthy being known - we don't smoke more than anywhere else - we don't hate Americans. Personally I even think we are thankfull to them about history events we all know - maybe we are rude, I don't know, but I traveled in Sweden for instance, and people in Goteborg were just horrible, in London and Rome too. I think it's just someting about big cities.
L'americana che pensava che la lasagna fosse loro mi ha uccisa: sono messi male. Recentemente ho scoperto che anche i pancake non sono loro, ma tedeschi
As an italian: the stereotypes that were mentioned are actually all mostly true, tho: 1. mafia is now mostly involved in politics, construction and drugs, the violent crimes are mostly in the south, that doesn't mean that there is no corruption in the north (and i am from an island that is not in the south). 2. most Italians eat pasta at least once a day in average, and pizza 1 to 4 times a month, also most Italian think they follow the mediterranean diet, but almost nobody follows it if not in rural parts of the country, because the mediterranean diet is what was measured in the first half of 1900 in the poor parts of Italy, it is very healthy, but is not exclusive to italy and most italians don't eat that way. 3. Southern europeans in general are more laid back and more attached to the family because of the climate and the cultural environment in southern europe. so... not too far from the truth actually lol.
French people being like just speak English only works for Americans, lol.... So way, way, way back - I went to France with the American Boy Scouts.... Me (I'm Dutch) at my best saying: Parlez vous Anglais? Reaction = Non. The Americans boys behind me, just ordered in English and they got served and they spoke English back... Things like these get Europeans all frustrated. It even is one of the down sides of Euro-Disney. French and their French language. LOL
I found it funny that when the American said she couldnt name any other Italian food other than pasta and pizza and the Italian begins by mentioning three pasta dishes lmao
Yes, I'm Italian and found it so silly! 😅
I just needed to stop the video to check the comments if someone would mention it xD... I would have mentioned Minestrone at least this soup can be without pasta or Carpaccio. I am sure that Itlay has a lot of fish-based diches, too. Some well-known desserts are Panna Cotta, Tiramisu...
@@juanantoniojimenez927 Yes, there are many... Parmigiana, Risotto, Meatballs with sauce, many meat, vegetable and fish dishes. Then the desserts of which there are many!

tbh Ravioli and Tortellini are not strictly speaking a kind of "pasta".
Pasta is only limited to what has no stuffing in it (like maccheroni, fusilli, spaghetti, tagliatelle, and so on).
since both Ravioli and Tortellini are stuffed with something else, usually with ricotta and spinach or some kind of meat then they are not strictly speaking a kind of pasta, even if they are a first course dish.
on the other hand, even from the Italian standards, lasagna is a kind of pasta.
Stop everything. The American girl thought lasagna was an American thing? 😂
I think she meant and Italian-American thing
It’s an Italian word.

France : smoke a lot , rude people , only live in Paris , only eat croissants and baguettes , a lot of rats , fancy
Italy : Use their hand all the time , only eat pasta , speak loud , love dance , love football
Spain : love dance , love music , love football , speak loud , only live in Madrid or Barcelona

Wait, but not only are Spanish and Latinos different; Latinos are also not a monolith and are extremely different from one another (there’s over 20 countries in the region 😉)
Pero compartimos una cultura por eso nos meten en el mismo saco

That's not true, they count Dominicans and Puerto Ricans too.@@miguelm.a7462Still not good, but better! 😂
The statement "American culture's kind of exported everywhere nowadays" kinda made me mad at first, because we europeans (I'm italian) feel the opposite, we feel like our cultures are the ones being absorbed by the US, which also is true. But after thinking about that statement for a little while, there's no way to deny that it is correct. American media is without any doubt the most developed and influent media in the world and of course it's going to export American culture everywhere. Such a fascinating matter.
Scusa ma sono un po confuso : l'Italia ha 2500 anni di storia e cultura. Non devo elencare l'apporto che ha dato alle moderni paesi. Poi arrivano sti Barbari con i social etc... non trovano di meglio da fare che mettere l'ananas sulla Pizza.

I love France. As a Brit, I've only been to France twice, went to Disney Land Paris as a kid (can't remember much from it) and went to a Chateau in Lanouaille, near Limoges in the South of France, and every single French person I met there was really nice. I know a couple of people from Paris and they're generally like the stereotype of Parisians, but honestly in the rest of France people are so nice and so welcoming, and I've even experienced them helping with language when you try to speak French, either trying to understand what you're saying or correcting your pronunciation (in a constructive way) so the French woman is right, people need to see more of France than just Paris and they will realise the people are lovely, especially us Brits who generally like to act like we hate the French and France, usually we're not serious cos we'll still go to France on holiday, but yeah people just need to travel more
Despacito isn't even from Spain
Exactly! That's why I said I don't like when they link Despacito with Spain xD
As a Dutchie, I really don't have any problems with any stereotypes. If tourists expect us to walk around in clogs, live in windmills, surrounded by vast tulip fields, go by boat to our work where we make cheese and spend our evenings eating herring, smoking massive amounts of weed and visiting prostitutes - if they spend their money to discover all that, it's fine. We'll even dress up in ancient folk costumes if that's what's needed to give them a good time.
How could you forget the bicycles and that beautiful beautiful infrastructure?
Regardless, it is interesting to hear your perspective on it, because for people I have known in my social circles, we think of the Netherlands for being a safe place to be in public spaces and to easily get around in multiple ways.
As a Southeast Asian, the stereotypes I have of the Dutch are: 1. Very tall 2. Dykes 3. Orange colour 4. Stingy
@@MightyFineMan I'll give you another stereotype - which the Dutch like to refer to if you give 'em the chance: all our bikes were stolen by the Germans in the Second World War - and we can't stop remembering them we want 'em back. 😜
Our most impressive bike roads are between Schipluiden and Maasland. They're 20 cm wide dirt paths. Swivel left and you'll end up in the water, swivel right and you'll make a drop of about 3 meters. They're quite popular in the weekends. Natives are even able to pass one another in different directions - although stepping down is required. And no, I'm not pulling your leg!
@@silverchairsg We are very tall. And many of us like orange - but whether that has to do with the love for our Royal family or our football team is unclear.
And yes, we have a reputation of being very blunt and direct. We like it that way: there's nothing to hide behind and no misunderstandings.
And sure - dikes. We got lots of them. But modern dikes are not that interesting. They are quite wide with a gentle slope. They're much more resistant that way - but not quite worth sightseeing. For that we got a bunch of minor dikes which are not that critical.
You need to come back from your hols in France in your camper vans!! 🤣🤣🤣

Dude , In italy we have nearly every type of cusine. We have not only pasta and pizza with a monstrously amount of variations of them but we also have rice like risotto alla Milanese , meat (from different animals: pig,cow,rabbit,birds , deer, etc.) , sweets , nearly every vegetables on the planet, and mostly sea food like mussles,crabs, sea nails and lot of type of fishes.
True. Read Pellegrino Artusi's cookbook "La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene" (usually translated into English as "Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating", but I would prefer to translate it as "knowledge of the cuisine and the art of eating well.")
It reads like a novel. Artusi was from upper middle or upper class descent and visited families around Italy. And he ate with them, as they, their personnel, cooked for their meal. After each visit, he published his experiences in a column, in a newspaper. In 1891, these collected columns got first published in book form. IIRC French "haute cuisine" cook Escoffier got a copy of Artusi's and felt he needed to do a version for French cuisine. Now France has a cookbook for everyday life for the more ambitious household, but less than Escoffier, I would argue, called something like "La cuisine de ma tante Marie" (Aunt Marie's cuisine - both Italian cucina and French cuisine mean kitchen but it's about the important collective recipes of a culture and so in English that's "cuisine").
I'd say that Artusi's recipes are between Aunt Marie and Escoffier.
The major distinction in Italian cuisine is that it relies on the best ingredients, as fresh as possible, that are generally not processed a lot. The country has a very long coast and access to sea food is very good. France at its widest is some 1,000 km and its NE/SW middle is almost empty so many places are far away from fresh variation and in times before the refrigerator, blending may have been necessary for taste's sake, especially in less than very-well-to-do households.
What makes Artusi's book interesting is that he included comments from his readers. As he describes last weekend's meal at Mrs. X's in A, and how it was prepared, Mrs. Y in B then responds in writing that they would never use ingredient 3, but add ingredient 9 in this dish.
That's a lot of pizza toppings!
I find Italians to be a bit too much of a food snob, and a bit closed-minded in this sense, as their standard for best food is always based on their cooking methods, and their kinds of ingredients, which isn't a lot if you compare to the rest of the world. For example, in Korean cuisine, it is very common to use monstrous amounts of raw garlic, onions, fish sauce which that would scare any Italian away. If you use too many chilies, for an Italian and many Europeans, that means your ingredients are poor quality, because you must mask the poor flavor with all those spices. That is definitely not true at all, especially with Asian cuisine, where it is all about the bald flavors. I remember some Italians trying pho for the first time, and they were disgusted with the cilantro/coriander in it. They complained that it tasted like soap, which I find it strange, because cilantro has originated in Southern Europe and other parts of the Mediterranean, plus basil itself has a very strong perfumy scent. And then, if you cook with any meats they are not familiar with, whether it'd be geoducks, penis fish, dogs, snakes, turtles, frogs, spiders, scorpions, silkworms, etc, they would find it completely horrifying and disgusting, when for many people, that is just part of their culture they grew up eating. The only Asian cuisine Italians seem to respect is Japanese, which I find it to be one of the blandest of all Asian cuisines, with not a large variation in flavor profile (no offense). It's kinda ironic, because if you ask Koreans about Italian food, they consider it as one of the best cuisines in the world along French cuisine, and would fantasize about going to Italian restaurants on special occasions, like on a date.
dude just pasta and pizza are well enough to make the italian cuisine one of the greatests if not the absolute greatest , to me atleast it's my favorite country's cuisine
@@lissandrafreljord7913 first as any country , the culture doesn't define every people that lives in it since not every one is the same . Second they are not closed-minded , you are maybe confusing the fact of people changing our recipes of dishes with things that normally doesn't go well them ( we know because some of us try them too) with accepting other country cusine which is not entirly true.
Third you missed a little part of the comment when I said we have nearly everything, we just don't have insects and esotic animals , so saying isn't a lot , it's just ...*forgive me*....bullshit.
Fourth garlic,onion and fish sauce REALLY? The basic ingredients for 80% for our dishes !!?
Fifth again too many chilies REALLY? When in the South especially Calabria it's all about spicy food.
Sixth i don't know which italians you found but I searched for the food and i can assure it's a plate they would eat.
Seventh c'mon don't blame on the italians . It's all the Western culture that they find eating insects, spiders,snakes ,dogs or cats etc. weird . In this case it's a problem of awareness instead of taste and yhea it's a bad thing , but don't try saying that somone from the U.S. or North America wouldn't feel the same . Also I know a lot of italian people that try to expand their horizons on this last topic
Italy is no longer for me known as mafia , now is known for pickpockets , internet has a lot of "attenzione pickpocket"

Here's the ones that come to mind for me:
Bavaria, Holy Roman Empire, Teutonic Order, Beer, Sauerkraut, all the WW2 stuff which I won't bother to mention, Prussia, Goethe, Bismarck "Iron and Blood", Schliffen Plan, Faust, Gottendamrung, Valkyrie, Black Forest + cake, Germania (ancient Roman times), Teutoberg forest, Roman limes along the Rhine & Danube, Arminius, Landschneckts, burghers, Meister Eckhart, that funny Kalingrad Oblast which is in a totally weird position in the middle of Germany, Weimar Republic & hyperinflation.
Well I'm a bit of a history nerd, so I guess for most people it would just be Hitler, Frankfurters, Beer, Ocktoberfest, Bavarian costume, Volkswagon and German engineering.
I'm quite surprised that they don't talk about (personnaly, as a french) the only sterotype that make me angry : frenches are cowards who always surrender. Because for me, except the "kind" stereotypes on french people, like wine consumption and romantic / fancy country, which are more annoying for tourists who quickly are disenchanted when coming to France, others stereotypes such as rude and proud people are clichés french are making fun of, because we know we are quite like that sometimes. For exemple, "french people is always angry and complain everytime" is known for being quite true, and most of french are kinda proud of it in fact. That's why french mostly don't care about such things. It's only some points, which are injustified and has even been proven to be false trought history that's french are upset of. Nice video anyway, quite instructive, there was stereotype of which I was unaware.

Italy wins in most of them
@@giuseppedamora. I must admit, Italian food is my absolute weakness. I guess it's because I grew up eating a lot of it, though probably a bastardized version (hehe, I'm Argentinean). But I would say when it comes to pastries, no one does it better than France. Those folks know how to manipulate butter in all its shapes and forms. Anything with fatty milk (butter, cheese, cream, etc.), France is bound to win (maybe because it has a more Northern, colder climate, so they require a fattier diet, hence they experimented more with saturated fats). Italians and Spaniards tend to have a more Mediterranean diet (more olive oil), though I am aware that in the mountains of the Alps, Pyrenees, etc., they tend to eat more fattening dishes. I have yet to try Jamon Iberico, but from what it seems, it does have a richer deep red color with more marbling than Prosciutto di Parma, while coated with a glistening layer of fat, and it is considered more luxurious. Regardless, if I could only eat one of these 3 cuisines for the rest of my life, without hesitation, I'll take Italian any day of the week.
WTF! You put Champagne in the Sparkling Wines category. Don't say this in France, it will been perceive as offensive. Sparkling Wines are mostly made with low cost grape, who take to much sun, don't have enough rain, or grow up in the poorest soil. That's mainly why we don't drink Spanish or Italian wine in France, too much sun and dry soil don't make good grape, and the good ones are more expensive and less tasty than ours.
For the "charcuterie" (cold meat), they don't put enough grease inside. Grease is a flavour enhancer, your meat need to be fat to be tasty, as you can see in the Wagyu beef.
And finally, for the cheeses, we have around 1000 different cheeses in France, so Spanish ones doesn't exist here, but there is few Italian ones, like Gorgonzola or Mozza di Buffala, who are good but less appreciate than French ones.
@@LivariusD Okay mustache. Don't know where your comment went though.
That's a question for me 😁 Food and alcohol is my job, and being french with one side of my family being french/spanish from Basque and Catalonia, and the other half being french/italian from Piémont and Aoste.

I'll go with that, and too bad you didn't include the portuguese cousin, they have amazing food, wine, cheese, but they are always forgot 😫
Ravioli and tortellini are pasta too 😂 so even the italian girl can't tell us italian dishes that are not pasta and I know italian people and they ate pasta maybe not every day but maybe 4-5 days a week 😅
Pasta can come in different ways. Anyway the typical pasta is from southern italy, where I live in the North we tipically have Polenta (corn flour) with cheese or mushrooms, risotto or many soups with beans or vegetables especially in the winters. Pork and all the different cured meat such as Prosciutto, Coppa, Guanciale or more strange things like quails, snails and Capon (rooster without balls)
Indeed, because it' s quick and easy, but in the traditional regional italian cuisine there are so many dishes which are not pasta: hundreds of different soups ,risotti polente, gnocchi,, and recipies based only on vegetables for example: ribollita, acquacotta, pappa al pomodoro, zuppa frantoiana, zuppa lombarda, caponata, gurguglione, melanzane alla parmigiana, zucchini ripieni, risotto allo zafferano...to name a few.Not talking about the sea food which is amazing and it is prepared in so many different ways.Meat and venaison are also prepared according to hundreds of recipies. In Italy you can eat a different dish every day for several years before you eat the same.
cuervonegro1983 So what? Then she listed other foods anyway. "I know italian people and they eat pasta maybe not every day but maybe 4-5 days a week", do you know all of us? And what's your problem about that?
I think it’s just hard to translate and explain other dishes in English 😂
That Italian is the stereotype of "dumb blonde".
Mafia is everywhere but she's from the north and think that it's wonderland. 😂
Just from this you can understand she has stereotypes on her own country.
In France, If you go in the countryside, they cannot speak any english ?!
Umm honestly I don t think so. I live kinda in the countryside and it s true that the old generation cannot speak English well but the younger generation (like me) can.
So sorry but (Im not mad guys), for me, from my experience, it s not true at all.
You're right. The French girl seems to only know Paris; but not at all the rest of France...Paris is not France. A long way off.
Beh, oltre alla pasta ci sono gli ortaggi, usati molto e coltivati in Italia, poi c'è la carne e pesce. Il riso cucinato in vari modi, le minestre e minestroni d'inverno...la polenta. La salumeria e formaggi ( l'Italia è un grosso produttore di formaggi che vengono anche esportati).
La ragazza del video forse presa dall' emozione non li ha saputi elencare...😏
France is just known for it's cheeses and wines, one could also be proud of their export products, and cultural history.
I think it sounds more like the stereotyping is the problem, people assuming things on you because of your identity or nationality. And not realizing it is just a stereotype - that is all it is.
the biggest stereotype about Italians
and that all of Italy is like Sicily or the Neapolitans
(given by the fact that it is precisely the inhabitants of these regions who have emigrated around the world)
not to mention that in Italy there are 20 regions, each with its own dialect and typical food, in some northern regions they even speak a dialect of German, in others a dialect close to French, while in Sardinia it is similar to Catalan. in Calabria some municipalities speak Albanian
Europe is a place immensely rich in history, only those who were born there or lived there for a long time and have traveled around can understand certain facets well.

lasagna from the USA ?! WTF
Well. Despacito - that song from the Spanish-speaking country called the 🇺🇸 United States/Estados Unidos, precisely its territory of 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico. 🙃 Since "Despacito" is pronounced "despathito" in Spain 🇪🇸, it was quite clear for me as a 🇫🇮 non-native speaker of 🇪🇸 Spanish Spanish that it isn't from Spain. When I listen to it, I try to repeat it in the Spanish way instead. 🤓
EDIT: I have been listening to the following Spanish singers and groups (of some of them just one song): La Oreja de Van Gogh, El Sueño de Morfeo, Amaral, Fran Perea, Santa Justa Klan, Chanel, Álvaro Soler, Dark Moor, Megara, Las Ketchup, Pastora Soler, Anabel Conde, Beth, David Civera, Sergio Dalma, David Bisbal, La Quinta Estación, Alaska y Dinarama, Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas, Mecano, Melendi, Mocedades, Pignoise and obviously Enrique Iglesias.
But I also prefer the Spanish versions from 🇮🇹 Eros Ramazzotti, Nek and Laura Pausini (scusi, io non parlo italiano).
I was curious about if speaking Spanish is something in Finland that would be helpful at work. It’s definitely helpful in the US.. but at least when I’ve visited Estonia it seems like Spanish speakers are in high demand. I saw advertisements for higher pay if you could speak Spanish. Not sure if that was just for the tourism industry or what.
@@ran_d_d Well, the Spanish TV series Los Serrano was extremely popular in Finland in 2007-2009 which caused a massive spike in those who wanted to learn Spanish - I started three years earlier but it definitely helped the learning process. In the past, the Departments of Finnish, Nordic languages, English, French and German used to have more prestige at the university while Spanish, Italian and R*ssian were minor players so to speak - there was even talk that their departments would be shut down, but only the obvious one doesn't exist anymore and was replaced by Chinese at the university where I was at. I didn't graduate due to the discrimination by the staff, so I can't really say how it helps (I was meant to become a Spanish teacher). I have been on a sick leave since then. Sorry. But I can say that it did help me to skip certain parts of the application process when I attempted applying for Finnair's flight school - in some industries being international is important. 👍 And apparently we have had a Spanish dentist in my small -ish hometown near the larger city of Tampere. 😊
did you know that Laura Pausini is really an spanish singer, we stole it from Italy, and she have to do songs in spanish for us, I am joking
No es raro que los artistas italianos hagan versiones en español de sus canciones.
Ya les "robamos" a la Carrá hace muchos años, y no es raro que se quiera mucho en España a la Pausini, porque es un encanto.@@miguelm.a7462
despacito isnt even from spain lol
I know. That was amusing. Lived in South Florida 40+ years and Reggaeton is popular in Latin Caribbean nations, especially Puerto Rico.
@@jimgorycki4013PR is a territory of the USA.
Exactly, that’s the first thing she should have said. As a Spanish woman, I thought the Spanish girl not saying anything until it was pointed out to her, beyond weird.
As an American, I consider ravioli, lasagna, tortellini, etc. to be types/kinds of pasta as well. I can't believe that one of my fellow Americans didn't know that lasagna was Italian! (My apologies.)
Generally speaking, though, Italians are very passionate people, but especially when it comes to food. Many people here in America don't have time to make food from scratch the way that many Italian grandmas do. Instead, we usually resort to fast food or even microwaveable food sometimes. These might not be the healthiest or best-tasting, but here in America we are BUSY and don't have a lot of time to make food the slow, traditional way.
But seriously how can you hear the word lasagna and then how it's spelled and think it's from the US
@@paramtageja6891 Right! Not to mention the fact that it looks and smells Italian.
Italians are also busy, as are the Spanish or the Portuguese, but we still find time to cook a meal from scratch after a long day at work. I think Americans just don't value good, healthy food as much as we do and, as a result, see cooking as a drag. It doesn't even take that long to make a dish like spaghetti alla carbonara... and while tagliatelle al ragù might take a bit longer, you don't need to be there throughout the whole process. You just let it simmer and get on with whatever needs doing (I can hang my washing out, have a shower and watch a little TV or read a book in the meantime). Furthermore, I find cooking very therapeutic. Give it a try! 😉
Everyone is busy, and we don't spend who knows how many hours cooking. let's say it's a cultural thing that you in America don't have, and you prefer to eat ridiculous things that are bad for you
great idea for a channel!👍
The stereotype of our México, lindo y querido, is often reduced to tacos, tequila and drug cartels. People are totally ignorant of Mexico’s history, geography (they only think about beaches), incredible cuisine, contributions to music, diverse population, etc. I get so tired of people immediately asking if I feel safe where I live. México is so much more than silly stereotypes.

Did the girl really think lasagna was American?
🤣🤣
That really surprised me too. I'm from the US, I've never met anyone that thought lasagna was American.
Maybe like Italian American and not actually Italian haha. Similar to Orange Chicken and Chinese food.
An American who thinks lasagna is American probably thinks that every food or product whose origins she does not know is American.
This is not unique to Americans. Belgians mistakenly think that fries are Belgian when they were created in Paris.
A lot of people think Kinder is germann when it's italian.
A lot of people think mayonnaise is French when it's spanish.

Ok, so, about stereotypes, let me start by saying that I'm Catalan, from Barcelona. I'm specifying 'cause Spain it's quite big and has different diets and such. In Catalonia we have some Spanish dishes from other parts of Spain like the "fabada asturiana" for instance, but our general diet would be more similar to the Italian, in fact, we follow the Mediterranean diet (basically because we are Mediterranean), which is known to be the most well-balanced diet in the world. So, yes, I've lived in Italy for two months and I've travelled around different cities as well multiple times and yes, there is some variety. And some other incredible dishes like "Melanzana alla Parmigiana" (eggplant/aubergine with parmigian), the "rissotto", well "rissotti" 'cause there are multiple times. My favourite one is the mushroom rissotto with parmigian. Salads with mozzarella di bufala... Then deserts like "Panacota" ("Panna cotta" in Italian) for instance, again there are some different kinds, there's the standardone and some variants, the name translated means "cooked cream". In fact, when you go to a restaurant, the menu will probably have the pasta and pizza entrances, but they will always have something called "antipasti" as well, which are some starting dishes (appetizers), then "rissotti", and other dishes, wines and deserts.
Here in Catalonia we follow a similar diet like I said, tohwr than traditional dishes. Even in Greece. And not just the diet, we share some cultural similarities, some matters, etc. We all have our own thing, yes, but we share some other things. I mean, watching the movies My big fat greek wedding 1 and 2, living in Italy, going to the South of France/Northern-Catalonia, meeting people from Albania, Malta, etc. I can definitely see those similarities.
And I will close with a song by Joan Manuel Serrat (Fun fact! Joan is "John" in Catalan, "juan" in Spanish and it's a male's name, and "Joan" in English it's a female name). That song is called "Nací en el Mediiterraneo" ( I was born in the Mediterranean), the cover I'm sharing was created relate to the refugee movement of Syrians due to the Syrian War with the motto: "volem acollir" (we want to welcome):

About panna cotta, I'm not a big fan of sweets, I don't like cream for instance (the sweet one for deserts, the cooking cream I do), so the panna cotta I like is the "panna cotta al cioccolato" without cream on top, just chocolate. And my go to was a dark chocolate gelato😋.
Having said that, I'm changing a bit the subject, here you have two turistic videos from Catalonia where you can see a bit of the beautiful landscapes and sightseeings as well as a bit of our culture, customs and traditions:

They usually say that Spanish people are louder than Italians!
As for the third one of the Italian, that Italians are too attached to their mother, I agree with that, and not only Italy but also Spain, Portugal and Latin America too obviously, since the culture of affection was brought here from southern Europe hahaha since those 3 are among the largest European immigrants in Latin America . Our family culture maintains very strong family ties and is deeply rooted in tradition, honor and loyalty. We have a big family, and different generations live together, even if they are old, affection within the family is a huge culture in southern Latin Europe and Latin America, we are very attached to our parents, it’s just part of our culture 🤷🏻♂️ . If you compare the Northern Europeans family culture, it’s very different… That is why Anglos, Germans and Scandinavians get shocked that, when they realize, many from southern Latin Europeans or Latin Americans still live with their parents… since their family culture is not as attached as ours… They have this rule when their children turn 18-20 years old they have to leave home and live on their own now 💀(not all)
And that's why i love France a lot on those kind of thing, because it's the only country who is truly baised on both latin and german culture, and have a strong north and south division. So on those kind of thing it's always fun because in south France you will find this same strong family dynamic and nobody is shocked seeing a kid staying with his parents while being 25 or 30, but if you go up north, child who stay with their parents after reaching 18 or 20 are almost shamed.
It's always fun to notice those big culture difference inside the same country with the same folk.

I’ve always wanted to go to France, but have been nervous about French people hating Americans ha. My step dad is from Italy, my grandparents are from Estonia, and I took Spanish in school for 5 years, so my attempt at pronunciation in French is terrible.
Also the only thing holding me back from visiting Spain is bullfighting. I see too many depressing pictures of those poor bulls who have no idea why they’re being tortured. Having their horns lit on fire or being stabbed repeatedly and their eyes just look so damn sad and defeated. It’s good to hear that the majority of people don’t agree with it anymore.. I know what it’s like being an American to have majority support for things like healthcare or tightening gun laws and the government doesn’t do anything about it.
I'm french, and we don't hate americans specifically because they are americans, but because for most of them they don't seem to respect us by our standards. You see one stereotype is that french are rude (Parisians i guess?) but from our perspective it is americans that are rude by not saying hello, speaking loud etc.
@@Fox13440 I’ve never heard that French people are rude.. I can understand preferring people speak some French when visiting. Although French is one of the few languages offered in school, most choose Spanish because it’s more helpful over here in every day life and to practice.
And I think all huge cities that are expensive to live in will get a reputation for not being welcoming, but isn’t Paris the most visited city in the world for tourists? With so many people visiting, you hear more comments than about other places. Good and bad. Culturally I guess Americans learning to say hello or good morning when entering a cafe or store isn’t something everyone picks up on since we are more accustomed to the people working being forced to say it to us so maybe it seems forced ha. Plus I hear people think Americans are fake so I try to not force anything. I usually just learn a few greetings when visiting somewhere to be friendly. Since Italy is very much like that too and I’ve visited my step dads family a lot there.
Tranquila, soy español, tengo más de medio siglo y jamás he presenciado una corrida.

@@liveloveandbelieve777 I’d guess the only Americans that would say they dislike French people only feel that way because they think French people dislike them haha. France looks like there are some awesome places to visit (I guess that’s obvious since it gets so much tourism). I’ll just have to work on pronunciation of more than basic stuff like good morning, thank you, etc before I visit.
I think most negative stereotypes no matter where they originated usually have a slight but of truth and a whole lot of exaggeration. When I went to Europe, I found the negative stereotypes I’d heard weren’t entirely true or entirely untrue. Also across the globe the way people treat you can sometimes depend on whether they perceive you to have money or important connections. People tend to be nicer when they think nicer benefits them.
I think it’s true that Americans lump in Latin America with Spain . In New York and most places in the states, they call anyone that speaks Spanish , a Spanish person . It’s like they don’t really differentiate us.
and then they think that everyone from Latin America is the same

ME sorprende la importancia que se le da al hecho de que los estadounidenses llamen "spanish" a todos los hispanos, pero sin embargo haya una general aceptación al hecho de que se nos llame "LAtins". El término "Latin" se refiere, en principio, a la cultura romana, de ahí el término cultura Grecolatina, no a la cultura española o hispana. Sin embargo, "spanish" al menos relaciona el término con la cultura española, lo que incluye el idioma español, la religión católica, la carne asada, los alimentos freídos, la ropa, la forma en la que percibimos las relaciones sociales...
Unless you live in South Florida. Some can tell what region of Latin America or Caribbean they are from.

Funnily, I've been to all four countries. But I couldn't tell any Stereotypes, only observations.
In France: people weren't too friendly when I asked them if they could speak English. In Strasbourg on the other hand they were kind of angry with my attempts of speaking french.
In Spain everyone was soooo nice and easygoing, but I stayed with Spanish friends, so. I also liked the cities I saw (architecture, history) and the beach. I would love to live there. And I love siesta! I need it!
In Italy I stayed very short at several places. Bari was wonderful, Napoli not so much. But I didn't get to know any people there because I was very young. My imoression was that women there were very pretty and well dressed.
Then there were the Italians at the World Youth Day 2005 in Germany and they were indeed always the loudest even in a tram full of very tired people they were happily singing and shouting although everyone else seemed to be annoyed...
10:13 Lasagna, tortellini, ravioli are pastas...
About Spain For me flamenco music , flamencas, paella, toros, toreros, sangría, fútbol..and others...like southamerican things put as spanish when no!... And more another things ....that upsets me.

Some stereotypes are defenatly true.
Spain: Enrique Iglesias (a bit stereotypical too, I guess. Sorry)
Italian girl: There's not only pizza and pasta in italy. There's also lasagna (which contains pasta), ravioli (which is filled pasta), tortellini (which is - also - filled pasta). I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff, including a lot of seafood and such, but that was kinda silly there ^^
I would rather imagine a french person sitting at a table, eating a croissant and dipping it in a big bowl of coffee actually, perhaps with a cigarette.
There are many stereotypes about Spain 🇪🇸, in addition to the bulls 🐃, the party 🥳 and the beach 🏖️. For example: that we speak very loudly, that we are unpunctual, that all Spaniards take naps 😴, that we work little, that all Spaniards know how to dance flamenco 💃🏻, that in Spain it is always very hot 🥵...

In italy we have so many stereotypes about each other (north va south) and it kinda pissed me when she was saying mafia from the south (it is true but it’s the way she used her hands to describe it)

The Spanish girl sounds exactly like Rosalía 😂
Those stereotypes are mainly Western ones, other people would have other prejudi … I mean stereotypes 😂😂
Spain and the bull fighting is part of the history of the culture, you don't need to ignore it. And I like the bull symbolism Spain has, also with the Bull symbolism of Europe and European. Just give it an updated twist. Running with the bulls, gets a lot of tourists.
Spain should not be ashamed or ignore the bull and it's symbolism and cultural history. Not many other European countries still have this link that strongly present as Spain.
We are not. This is the personal view of this woman, but I don't think she is really representing our country's perspective on this. A lot of people in Spain are proud of the bullfight culture.
@nosoloporno69 it seems that you don't know what you are talking about. There are corridas in Portugal, only they don't kill the bull at the end (in front of the people, but they kill it anyway a couple of hours later). And even in Portugal they kill the bull, go to Alentejo and see it by yourself. In the case of France what you said is nonsense. There are still bull fights there. You are confused because that extreme-left tried last year to pass a law to forbide them, but that didn't have the popular support and they are completely legal today.
@nosoloporno69 There are still bullfight in southern France
@@quothalas I would put it more like be proud of the bull, less on the fighting - it is a part of your but also "European" history. King Minos and the minotaur, the kidnapping of Europe, etc.
There is still bullfighting in south France, it's not 100% banned, and i hope it will stay that way, it's good to keep some tradition alive, especially very old like this one and who is a base of a few cultures around the south France and North Spain.

Thanks for your vídeo. Árab heritage (Italia, Francia y España) is seen in the halo of tits
Mentre gli italoamericani provenivano dal sud Italia, la maggior parte degli italo-brasiliani provenivano dal nord Italia. Abbiamo (in Brasile) anche un dialetto nel sud del Brasile che deriva dal dialetto veneziano, si chiama "Talian".
The french woman is cute. Is she half? If she is, what is her other nationality? Just curious
Moroccan or Algerian
As an American 🇺🇸 born, I have already been to Italy 🇮🇹 but I do want to visit Spain 🇪🇸 and France 🇫🇷
You don't know what you're missing "Gonzalez"
I’m confused about the Despacito stereotype because the main artist is from the USA and the guest vocalist is Canadian. So what does this have to do with Spain?
Cause they sang in Spanish... It is a shit stereotype....
And they are come from Puerto Rico, not exactly USA although is part and at the same time not of this country. Guest vocalist is Canadian? Are you talking about Justin Bieber? This is not the famous original song, is just a remix they did together.
@@juangarrido7430Puerto Rico is part of the USA. Puerto Rico is not a country. It’s a US territory and people born there are US citizens. Puerto Rico has a US Attorney and a National Guard. If they apply for passports they will have US passports. They don’t need passports to travel to any of the other US territories or states nor did I need my passport when I went to Puerto Rico. One place I visited was the El Yunque which is part of the U.S. National Forest System.
It’s weird to me that people don’t consider Puerto Rico part of the USA but at the time the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was a US territory. But everyone says the Japanese launched an attack on USA soil.
Yeah I meant Justin Bieber. I thought the remix is what went #1.
@@anndeecosita3586 Not really, if you check in youtube, the original song without Justin is around 8 billion views and with Justin so much less, that's song was famous before Justin and when I went to Russia I was surprise I heard in clubs the original song not the remix.
About Puerto Rico, is a ''Estado asociado'' of USA (I don't know to say in english sorry) but the fact is... they cannot vote for the presidents of USA then I don't considered them like americans from USA, Its a strange case, well... they are but they aren't part of this country, if they travel and go to the States they could vote but at the time they are living in the island of Puerto Rico they can't, that why I said that.
I could understand foreigns people related Spain with the Macarena song, but Despacito?? WTF xD
Not that strange that French find the Roman language Roman-tic.
I’m sorry, but there is some truth to any kind of stereotypes good or bad. Stereotypes don’t happen from thin air.
The American girl didn’t address any stereotypes of USA.
Probably because they are all true lol
Reread the title of the video
Stereotypes are bad anyway, we all have our way to live and to think. I'm French and I can tell you :
- there are so many other places in France than Paris wich are worthy being known
- we don't smoke more than anywhere else
- we don't hate Americans. Personally I even think we are thankfull to them about history events we all know
- maybe we are rude, I don't know, but I traveled in Sweden for instance, and people in Goteborg were just horrible, in London and Rome too. I think it's just someting about big cities.
Probably the biggest Spanish stereotype is flamenco, it is only from the south of Spain, from the autonomous comunity of Andalucía.
L'americana che pensava che la lasagna fosse loro mi ha uccisa: sono messi male. Recentemente ho scoperto che anche i pancake non sono loro, ma tedeschi
Essendo loro un popolo che fondamentalmente non hanno nulla di originale e copiano tutto dagli altri paesi, non mi sorprende affatto
French Chauvinism vs American exceptionalism/superiority LOL
As an italian:
the stereotypes that were mentioned are actually all mostly true,
tho:
1. mafia is now mostly involved in politics, construction and drugs, the violent crimes are mostly in the south, that doesn't mean that there is no corruption in the north (and i am from an island that is not in the south).
2. most Italians eat pasta at least once a day in average, and pizza 1 to 4 times a month, also most Italian think they follow the mediterranean diet, but almost nobody follows it if not in rural parts of the country, because the mediterranean diet is what was measured in the first half of 1900 in the poor parts of Italy, it is very healthy, but is not exclusive to italy and most italians don't eat that way.
3. Southern europeans in general are more laid back and more attached to the family because of the climate and the cultural environment in southern europe.
so... not too far from the truth actually lol.
French people being like just speak English only works for Americans, lol....
So way, way, way back - I went to France with the American Boy Scouts.... Me (I'm Dutch) at my best saying: Parlez vous Anglais? Reaction = Non. The Americans boys behind me, just ordered in English and they got served and they spoke English back... Things like these get Europeans all frustrated. It even is one of the down sides of Euro-Disney. French and their French language. LOL
Why do they never take ethnic French for this kind of videos? They're not extinct yet.
The Italian girl is so beautiful ❤
Despacito song doesn't even have a Spanish accent
They dont Know where is Spain, dont ask for much.
