This is such an American take. I use olive oil to fry onions regardless of what nationality the food is lol. It’s just onions. I can grow this up north in Scandinavia. Even indoors.
I’m just making “food”. Our influences are so close to us we don’t really put a “country” on our food. We mix and match and experiment with different food cultures, np. Don’t need to stick to “Italian” for one dish. You can use influences from wherever.
We don’t really say "let’s make a Japanese wok. It’s just a wok. And it can have any ingredients you like. Chicken, salmon, beef, roots, greens, whatever.
Be free with your cooking for the love of food. ❤️👨🍳
Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m not American. However, your assumption that my view must be American, specifically due to you intensly eurocentric view, is painfully ironic.
For some people making Indian, Mexican, Thai or Chinese food with olive oil isn’t tasty, as (believe it or not) olives don’t actually go with everything.
I mean, I listed more than just Italian but I guess that’s inconvenient for the point you’re attempting to make.
I am being free. It’s just im using my freedom not to make my food taste weird. People can use a neutral oil like vegetable oil for almost everything.

Maybe they’re not making Italian food?

Careful climbing down from that high horse.

Oh nooo, the paAaAaiN.
News flash buddy, taste is subjective.
Use olive oil for whatever you like. Don’t use it for whatever you like.
I’ll use it for what I like. I like to fry my onions and garlic with olive oil. 👌💪
Peace! ✌️
