Since I am on the subject of Olive Garden, which claims to be an Italian restaurant, I have a question for my actually Italian friends like @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe . How much heavy cream is actually used in authentic Italian cuisine? Because I am convinced every single thing at Olive Garden contains heavy cream. The salads eventually end up with a dressing that is at least partially heavy cream based. I think the breadsticks are somehow made with it. Hell, I think the water probably contains trace elements due to proximity exposure. Olive garden is disgusting and hardly authentic Italian. But I am genuinely curious about the heavy cream content of actual Italian dishes. Because those two dudes on Youtube that say, "Not Approved!" seem quite offended whenever heavy cream shows up.
