It was invented by an Italian fascist who was deeply deeply angered at baguettes, a symbol of the French, being so popular. Ciabatta was designed to be rustic and traditional feeling for that reason
What’s your source that Arnaldo Cavallari is a fascist?
All I’ve heard is rally car driver turned baker who wanted to compete with baguettes for the local sandwich market.
Yeah, I went looking for any source of information outlining Arnaldo Cavallari’s political views, and couldn’t find anything at all. The closest I got were a couple sources saying he invented ciabatta specifically because he hated the French, but the only reasoning they gave for that assumption was that he said he disliked the rising popularity of baguettes. Hardly seems like enough information to nonchalantly call him a fascist. We’ve got enough extremists running around - we don’t need to be vilifying regular people when major world leaders are displaying fascistic tendencies right now.
My grandma told me about how one day there was a hubbub at the local drug store and so she got to try this new kind of sandwich, the peanut butter and jelly
my dad talks about his mom coming home and making them tuna fish salad one day, a whole new-fangled thing and it had hardboiled eggs in it, her favorite sandwich was the ol classic peanut butter and mayo, sometimes with a dill pickle if she was feeling spicy
Woah. Your grandma sounds hot.
Some guy patented it in 1982, but they’ve been making ciabattas forever.
That just makes it worse…just because.
Happy Birthday is that way too. Walt Disney didn’t invent it, people have been singing that song since before IP was a thing, but Disney owns the patent for it. IP is just so transparently bullshit.
It’s actually in the public domain, and Disney never claimed copyright.
The company that had been collecting copyright fees was found to have never held a valid copyright, and that any valid copyright would have long expired if anyone actually did have one which was unproven, and the company had to payback the money they collected.
Everyone working at restaurants clapped
along to the original tune when it was verified legal to w/o payments!
It’s not possible to patent a song.
Disney never held the copyright.
It’s been public domain since 2017 in Europe and since 2016 in the US and almost certainly long before.
Just wait until you hear about stuffed crust
