Tell me...

Someone Please tell me that the people from California who have Italian ancestry (and supposedly Grandma's cookbook) don't seriously consider spicy chili pepper an appropriate seasoning for plain old marinara sauce.

Because if they do, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to go and get all the old Sicilian family friends back in NJ and sic 'em on those poor fools.

Chili pepper. In the marinara sauce! And this guy claims to be an Italian. I'm a damned celt through and through and I know better, okay?

I'm coming to the conclusion I should never trust a guy claiming to be Italian who has the first name of 'Chip'. Seriously. We'll leave this sort of thing to National Lampoon, okay? Just...get off my food yard!

...At least the potato soup tastes like potato soup. With a lot of black pepper in it.

...hmn.

Okay.

One thing though; is there enough in it that you're breathing fire with half a spoonful? I know there's chili in some recipies, but for the sake of adding a slight bite, not enough to burn the inside of your mouth lining.

Because that's what this 'professional' 'italian' chef did. To hospital food. Served not only to employees but visitors to the hospital. Like, you know, OLD FOLKS, including the lunch and learn group that came in today.

And no, they don't tell you they've done it, either. To this guy, that's 'normal' marinara, supposedly.

That's not marinara. Hmm.

Exactly.
