Folks Online Are Obsessed With This American Woman Trolling Her Italian Husband By Breaking Unspoken “Italian Rules” (12 Situations)

Italians are very passionate about their food and will fight you if you prepare it incorrectly, but their other passion is football, especially among men. Italy is a country with a rich football history, their teams are always among the elite ones and they are the most recent winners of the European championship.

So when Sarah decided to prank Carlo and announced that they have plans for the evening when the finals were supposed to take place, he was quite dissatisfied. He couldn’t imagine himself missing such an important sporting event, though he worded it so nicely, “I love you so much, but, please, don’t ask me something like this, because there is the final of European [championship] that I talked to you about from the beginning of it and now you ask me to go out to visit your aunt, that I respect, but, please, there is the final.”

The video begins with Sarah innocently asking how much spaghetti would be enough and then snaps them in half to the horror of Carlo. He is seemingly in disbelief of what he has just witnessed and is disgusted that he will have to eat it after. His first reaction is “Sarah, ma tu sei pazza!” which translates to “Sarah, you’re crazy!” In this video he is being really dramatic going as far as to say that breaking pasta is illegal in Italy.

There is a reason why spaghetti shouldn’t be broken into small pieces. It’s because they should be eaten by wrapping the pasta on the fork and you will succeed in that only if you leave spaghetti long. What is more, eating it in this way is the least messy.

The debate whether pineapple belongs on pizza probably will never end. It is known that Italians condemned this kind of topping but turns out that Carlo isn’t one of them. In the video Sarah and Carlo are at an Italian restaurant and the woman asks her then fiancé what would happen if she would order some pizza with pineapple.

Carlo has an unexpectedly calm reaction, he even admits that he’s tried it in America and it was not that bad, but explains that in Italy you don’t do such things. Even though the explanation is calm, it’s as dramatic as ever as the Italian says, “If you do something like so, I can’t continue to live here. If somebody knows that you are my fiancé and here you ask pineapple, I can’t live here.”

There is no written rule that you cannot drink cappuccino after lunch but it is a habit that Italians have that they don’t break. One of the reasons that it is frowned upon to drink cappuccino at any other time of the day except for the morning is that this kind of coffee is quite heavy and is more of a calorie bomb with all the fat milk and sugar.
 
So when Sarah asks Carlo to make her a cappuccino and it’s past lunch time, the husband has difficulty finding words after such a request. The cherry on top is Sarah bringing coconut milk for him so he could make her coffee and then Carlo loses it, “Cappuccino with coconut milk? Already cappuccino after lunch is a freaking weird situation.”

If you're on food TikTok then you most probably saw the trend of making pasta chips. Essentially, what you do is cook the pasta, put olive oil, cheese and then put it in the air fryer. The pasta supposedly comes out crispy and is a great snack.

Sarah shows the TikTok video to her husband and his reaction is not disappointing. At first he just looks confused but when the air fryer part comes in Carlo is in disbelief that someone could fry the pasta. His jaw drop says it all.

Another hilarious video that went viral with 9.2M views on the couple’s TikTok is of Sarah eating French fries with ice-cream. Granted, the ice-cream in her hands isn’t an Italian gelato but nevertheless, Carlo has a shocked expression on his face. And what indicates that he seriously doesn’t approve this is that this time, he is calling Sarah by her name when usuallyhe addresses her with an endearing ‘Angel’ or ‘Love.’

The most recent video that the couple has put up was of a family dinner where the main dish was spaghetti. The video was posted just one day ago and it has already been viewed 15.9 million times and liked 2.1 million times. This time Sarah decided to see what reaction Carlo would have if she would eat spaghetti without twirling it around the fork and just picking it up as it is and slurping it.

At first her husband doesn’t even notice but when he does, he is shaking his head and tries to explain that this is not how you eat spaghetti. Carlo asks, “But you never eat pasta, sorry?” He even apologizes to his family that they also had to witness such a sacrilegious way of eating this Italian dish.
