There seems to be an unhealthy obsession to label food products as Italian -- not from "somewhere else", meaning, of course, worse, no doubt about it and don't you dare even question it. To the point where walking into a supermarket can turn into a xenophobic slap sometimes. Honestly scary. Edit : I've had the same experience with Japanese food. As far as we can tell, there are two or three real Japanese restaurants, owned by Japanese. And ONE French bakery in Rome. This is the third capital of the EU by population mind you. I mean, they literally have a border with France ! Good luck finding decent bread.
