I would have deleted and corrected instantly the two there instead of their but Bluesky doesn’t have an edit button and the amount of traditional Italian dishes that actually combine fish and cheese might be shocking to people who insist it’s never done!
Kind of amazing how many dishes we think of as traditional Italian were 1) invented in, like, 1926, 2) originally a city/street food, not developed by nonnas serving huge families at long wooden tables under the grapevine, and/or 3) developed in the US by Italian-Americans and brought back to Italy
