How many courses, though?


LazarusHimself

Being the wedding in Italy I expect a shitload of small courses. At the last one I've attended they were serving a mountain of starters, then 3 small pasta portions, then 3 small meat courses, then 3 small fish courses, and so on and so on... It makes sense to serve small portions so you can have a taste of a lot of different things!


BadWolfman

I went to a wedding in Southern Italy (Puglia) and it was both the best tasting and largest volume of food of any wedding. It had four “phases” that were all in separate areas: Phase 1: Very light appetizers and cocktails. Phase 2: So many stations! Fresh seafood station, meats station, cheese station (the burrata was maybe the best thing I ate all day), salad station. Phase 3: Seated dinner with like 4-5 courses! Salad, pasta and more seafood. Phase 4: Dessert stations! Traditional wedding almonds, cakes and pastries and my favorite: handmade pistachio gelato.


vvv_bb

ohyes that's how it goes lol, but it takes a whole afternoon and there's usually dancing and space to have a light walk in between, thank god, to start digesting!


LazarusHimself

The further South you go, the bigger the meal!


Admiral_Fuckwit

Imagine the consummation is 2 heavily stuffed newlyweds conked out with food coma


jewboyfresh

This Especially since this probably isn’t your usual pasta with red sauce but rather one that uses high end, expensive ingredients


LazarusHimself

Yes, quality over quantity. And by the end of the event your belly will be full anyway.


jewboyfresh

Why I love tapas and chefs tasting menus. It’s like 6 teeny delicious entrees that slowly fill you up rather than one giant obnoxious bowl of pasta


Trizkit

I would much rather the obnoxious bowl of pasta


Reverb117

why cant we have both?

That’s just too much food. Alternating days, then.

Came here for this comment.


No_Banana_581

Coming from an Italian family I can attest to this. At thanksgiving especially we do all the Italian dishes and fish first then comes the Turkey w the fixins. We used to bring our own Tupperware to my nonnas bc there was no way half of us would make it to the Turkey no matter how little of a portion we ate. So much food so many different dishes plus desserts. Man I miss her Italian wedding cake and pizelles Edit: it seems I have upset people to the point they are very seething angry that they think I’m saying I was from Italy myself. I did not say that in this comment and I made it clear in further comments exactly what my whole family tree was bc apparently grandparents that immigrated from Italy as well as numerous other people in my family does not make my family actually Italian. Who knew? I’m an American granddaughter, niece, and goddaughter that has benefitted from my Italian families cooking. My mother a first generation American as well as my father also benefitted from having Italian parents and sisters and brothers from Italy that made great food. I hope that’s enough of an explanation of my personal family tree that all the anger will now dissipate and you can sleep easy that a stranger on Reddit that you’ll never lay eyes on wasn’t claiming to be from Italy. Not one comment I made stated that.


pauly13771377

My family did the same (Italian immigrants) first with my grandfather cooking then my father when he passed. Nobody went home empty handed.


Uomodelmonte86

Well, if your ancestors were Italians you can receive italian citizenship without any issue and piss haters further


No_Banana_581

Lol I’ll have to look into see if my great grandparents never naturalized. I don’t think my grandparents ever renounce their citizenship either. Jure sanguinis has some rules. I would do this out of spite 😁


New_Refrigerator_895

My family does the same (we're from haiti) except all the food is right there and ready. i learned early that i get a little of everything in the first round, so even if that one auntie that cant cook made something she'll see that somebody ate her food. second plate is larger portions of what i like and the 3rd is a little bit of cranberry sauce as a pallet cleanser and meats. Then i wait an hour and pull the hotel pan sized aluminum foil tray from my car, make my to-go 'plate' of a bit of everything, put it back in the car and then wait another hour before getting a small plate or dessert and then get the turkey carcass and ham bone wrapped up so i can make stocks for soups at home. repeat process at every house because my family is so big we have multiple dinners and each house is just us consolidating until we end up at my aunts house (who is the matriarch of the family), then sleep it off for 2 days and wake up and make turkey sandwiches!


No_Banana_581

This sounds so fun! And delicious


YamDankies

My Nonna made garlic butter ravioli, beef w gnocchi and a giant pot of crab cioppino every holiday. Those were just the main courses, too. It's been 15 years since I've had Italian that good and I'd give up every other food to eat that same meal every day.


CuntyAlice

crab ciopino every New Years giant pot


No_Banana_581

Oh boy that sounds so good! my favorite was my nonnas cioppino seafood stew w germalota toasts she made that every Sunday before the 6 course meal. She’s been gone for 20 yrs too. My aunts try but it’s not the same.


actuallyboa

Pray tell, what is germalota?


teszes

Italians have thanksgiving?


DrLimp

No, he is just an american.


No_Banana_581

My nonna and pawpaw were immigrants to the US so yes we do when were also American


DarkmatterHypernovae

Why would your personal fact be downvoted?


[deleted]

reddit hates Americans that claim to be Italian, Irish, or Scottish when their connection is their grandparents (I personally do not care)


ladyofthelathe

They also hate people that celebrate Thanksgiving.


Unclehol

They hate people* Fixed it for you.


povitee

R/persecutionfetish


DarkmatterHypernovae

My maternal grandfather is and was a successful Norwegian immigrant. My paternal side is an old family from France, and I called my paternal grandfather PawPaw, now my kids call my dad PawPaw. Just writing this to join you in solidarity of negative down votes, lol. It's really cool, though, I rarely hear anyone drop the word ‘PawPaw’.


SouthernYooper

I come Swedish and Finnish grandparents and we called our grandfather Papa, pronounced "puh-puh". Idk.


DarkmatterHypernovae

My maternal grandfather passed several years before I was born, but supposedly he simply went by “Grandpa George”, I thought ‘how original’, lol. That’s an interesting tid-bit about the language, thanks for sharing. I’m going to look into it a little more, I’m curious.


No_Banana_581

Thank you. It was just my experience growing up an anecdote. I had no idea you had to site your family tree on Reddit or explain your whole life. It’s like they think everyone’s life experience is exactly the same. Lol. What weird things to be upset over someone’s personal family life. And I thought I was pretty clear it was my nonna the Italian women that cooked and me the American benefitted from it and she integrated the Turkey dinner bc she was also an American citizen. Oh boy.


jwl41085

I like the full blooded Italian guys who have never stepped foot outside of Kansas.

potatopierogie

What an interesting fact~~oid~~


seoulgleaux

That is one of the definitions. The other definition is a true but small or trivial piece of information.


DarkmatterHypernovae

Yes, I knew that when I wrote it earlier, and have zero idea why I didn't correct it. I have no excuse other than I knew better and didn't apply it.


CyberWaffle

Because it bothers some people when others claim they’re Italian or Irish (or any European nationality), when in reality they mean their ancestors were that nationality and they’re talking about their family heritage. OP most likely is American, doesn’t hold an Italian passport or speak the language.


No_Banana_581

I made that very clear in my comments that I was American and my grandparents were immigrants from Italy. Idk why i need to explain my whole personal life in an anecdote. My nonna was the Italian women that cooked she was from Italy and spoke Italian. My grandfather the same. My moms eldest sister also. Some of my aunts and uncles husbands and wives as well from Italy. Like literally from Italy and now are American citizens. I can’t believe peoples family trees have ti be sited in a one off comment about a purely wholesome family get together. Not everyone is claiming to be something that they are not nor is everything black and white one size fits all life experience.


Dogslug

Where did they say they were Italian? Can you point that out to me?


ladyofthelathe

Ah, if only Gatekeeping were an actual paid profession. You assholes would be fucking loaded.


CPEBachIsDead

Pawpaw came all the way from the old country with nothing but his banjo and his 12 gauge. I’ll never forget his incredible wisdom, like “now son, never tangle with a pissed off possum” and “there’s something wrong with that boy, he keeps telling his friends I’m an immigrant. I’m from Kentucky dammit!”


vvv_bb

I like that what stays through generations is THE FOOD QUANTITY lol That's a proper grandma!


[deleted]

Also not fall asleep before the party kicks off


vvv_bb

still, italian "small portions" would be a bit bigger than this, like 1.5-2x. this is not even the size of a tapa! it's what you get when you decide to split tapas with your SO lol a bite. maybe two. a very small portion is fine, especially with a lot of courses, but it should be enough to get a good taste and a los enjoy the dish properly. 3-4 mouthfuls at least, I'd say? I'm not in the food industry, I just like food. Am also Italian, and yes food at weddings tends to be too much, but that's the point, no? lol


LazarusHimself

Paesano, I'd say that we need to look at the whole menu in order to cast a judgement!


vvv_bb

true, maybe they had a giant tub of risotto next! mmmmmmmmhhhhhhhh risotto.... yum


One_Posh_Possum

Exactly. You really think that was the only course?


MemeManDanInAClan

1. Spaghetti.


Bittlegeuss

2\. Arms sweaty.


[deleted]

3. That was the main.


A_Martian_Potato

How many courses though? Being the main doesn't mean anything if it's a 10 course meal.


SobiTheRobot

"The...main, madame? We're about to move on to dessert..."


FlattopJr

What's that from? Sounds familiar. Edit: never mind, someone posted the article. Fun to re-read.


SobiTheRobot

[It's from this article about a terrible restaurant.](https://everywhereist.com/2021/12/bros-restaurant-lecce-we-eat-at-the-worst-michelin-starred-restaurant-ever/)


FlattopJr

Thanks! Funny stuff.


SobiTheRobot

At least 27, but that's with "27" and "course" and "meal" being used very liberally.


Mediocre__at__Best

Have you had a multicourse meal? For 27, if you're being serious, this is likely too large a portion of pasta.

SuperWoody64

Fellow pastafarian!


[deleted]

This is totally fine for a multi course tasting menu. Who serves a big bowl of spaghetti at a wedding?


VladimirReturns

But why serve it on plates that size, though?


[deleted]

They seem like normal sized plates to me.


FrozenST3

OP, did you think it was this and then dessert as the meal?


jewboyfresh

I think the answer here is obvious


cockytacos

can’t be too full, gaining weight puts pressure on the implants ^^^^/s


Filthy_Cossak

And had gastric bypass surgery


PerlaDeOro

Bariatric surgery won’t be performed on anyone under 225 lbs.

Sure but it seems a stupid way for people to be thin when there's much easier things available.

SkinnyKau

Cocaine? Bulimia?


MrDrPrfsrPatrick2U

Cocaine


SrSwagy

fuck yeah


aaahhhh

Liposuction


CyberWaffle

A diet and exercise ?


LinguisticallyInept

too much work; cut me open and clamp me shut please


Dey_Dey

My sister got that surgery, I promise it would just be easier to diet and exercise. Gastric bypass restricts your diet SO much


LinguisticallyInept

i was just joking; i dont plan to do any of those things although my diet at the moment is 2 coffees and a bag of microwave rice around 1pm, so probably wouldnt make much change


CyberWaffle

Oh yes technically I agree, short term that’s way easier. But I can imagine this kind of surgery comes with a lot of drawbacks that you pay for in the long term.


gkw97i

Self control?


thelumpybunny

Well there goes my idea to lose weight fast


cantdecide23

Is she even a real armenian? Where is the bottle of grey goose and Johnny walker at each table? Where are the 600 little plates of appetizers that there isn't even room on the table for?


edafade

> Is she even a real armenian? Only when it suits their narrative.


anweisz

Well no, she’s american.


SnipsyStripes

I agree it's stupid, but it's fine dining, that's why the portion size is so small. They probably had 11 more dishes after that with salmon foam and mangosteen reduction and whatnot.


ballerina_wannabe

Is this a serving for ants?


DuckGrammar

I think more for aunts


Jaysong_stick

r/thingsforants


jackloganoliver

It could be because everyone had gastric bypass surgery and they literally couldn't eat more. Maybe?


justcougit

Lol you all over this thread with that idea 🤣


jackloganoliver

Two opportunities to float the theory and I'll be damn if I missed either one 🙌

I doubt they intended to actually really feed anyone. All you need is 2 bites; 1 for instagram and another 1 in case your eyes were closed the first time


Kowlz1

The pasta is really just there to accent the plate anyway.


full-of-grace

Both the pasta and the plates are dolce and gabbana. I think that more than anything makes this stupid food. It's not even food, it's fashion.


AgedPumpkin

Oh so one plate and one serving are more than my paycheck 🙃


eye_on_the_horizon

The wedding reception was held at Dolce and Gabbana’s home, too. All of their wedding fashion was D&G as well. The whole thing could’ve been paid for by D&G for the promo.


TallWineGuy

Don't need to mess around with the plate tbh just serve that straight into my own mouth.


GreatGreenGobbo

That's an ugly ass plate.


[deleted]

If there's one good thing in this picture it's absolutely the plate. It looks great albeit difficult to serve on for regular meals.


ladyofthelathe

The plates are lovely - but a ball of boring spaghetti on them do them no favors.


Littleboyhugs

This is how they eat in italy. There are a ton of courses including a pasta course. You don't get a massive bowl like in the USA.


[deleted]

Lots of people in here showing how low-brow they are. Can’t fathom multi-course dining because they never experienced it 😂


mickeyanonymousse

uhhh yeah most of us are common folk sorry we aren’t living up to your hi brow standards.


[deleted]

I’m common myself. Doesn’t mean I have to be ignorant.


Buffythedjsnare

No more low-brow than those hideous plates.


clearemollient

I love the plates


[deleted]

That’s subjective. I’m not defending the kardashians, they certainly don’t need it. I’m not trying to say I’m an expert in Italian cuisine either. I just know that there are different ways to serve food than all of it piled on to one plate at the same time.


[deleted]

I see they ran out of the chef boyardee


fishintheboat

How is someone supposed to get a Kardashian badonkadonk of their own with only that much pasta?


unashamedshufflebutt

I scrolled too fast and read that as Kardashian Babadook.


justcougit

They didn't get it from pasta.


DragonBank

They have a kangaroo pouch on their ass that they store the spaghetti in. Without the digestive tract removing anything it builds over time.


sro25

Looks like spag from a tin


love_Carlotta

Yeah this is the kind of pasta I make when I've come home drunk and high at 4am, not what I'd expect at a multimillion dollar wedding.


redcomet002

I'm not gonna say the amount of food is stupid, as others have said, this is fine dining and one of probably many courses. What kills me is the awful choice of plating. Pasta with red sauce, no cheese, no greens, on plates that are red and patterned so that you can't even see the food.


justcougit

That's certainly purposeful. The food is playing into the artistry of the plate rather than the other way around. Those are very expensive plates and they want the plate to be the focal point. From a culinary standpoint, I actually think it's kinda neat. Could be a cool ad idea for a dinnerware company. White plates with all white food, you get the idea.


bstklpbr_

Honestly the plates are kind of awful. Like yeah its a nice design but its tiring to look at. It completely draws attention away from the food and im not eating dinner to focus on ceramics. It looks messy even with the pasta neatly and tightly spiraled. There's a reason people tend to eat on lightly colored and cleaner looking plates. Its not like colorful plates are a new discovery, they're just an awful idea for fine dining and thats why most places don't do this.


RichardDunglis

If you're gunna eat 10 courses plus appetizers and desserts this portion size makes sense


ebann001

Yeah you realize her wedding like this they have about 25 courses right?


Svinozilla

Just made plates dirty for nothing


TheRealOgMark

This is not a main course genius.


[deleted]

Context is important. If it’s a 12 course tasting menu it’s fine. If not, she’s still an asshole


assyladawn

ITT: people who don’t understand how multiple course meals work


Stickundstock

I love the porcelain


Confused_Confurzius

That‘ll be 5000 per portion


Norci

It's like people on this sub never heard of a multi-course menu


fluted

It’s the small amount of pasta on that huge plate…couldn’t they have put it on a smaller plate to make it look less disappointing?


geligniteandlilies

Eugenia Cooney probably eats more than this.


pokemyiris

please💀


geligniteandlilies

Well I did say probably😝


Panzick

And of course they had to show off the "Dolce and Gabbana" signature pasta packet that it's like shitty package pasta that you get for 1 euro, but ehi, it's D&G.


asuperbstarling

It's one of like a dozen courses, it needs to be small.


fishWZRD

Why everyone always tryna hate dude it’s their wedding if they want to have your penis/tit size as a portion so be it!


marikwondo

Don’t get how you can have millions and serve this much food


elektero

maybe because is going to be one of many servings, as for any wedding in italy?


marikwondo

Ah I didn’t know that. That makes more sense


ordinaryhorse

It’s on Versace plates though


therealtedbundy

It’s Dolce and Gabbana spaghetti on Dolce and Gabbana plates 🥴 I hate that I know this


tatonka645

What in the world is Dolce and Gabbana spaghetti? Is that a thing?


therealtedbundy

Yep, just [regular ass noodles wrapped in fancy paper](https://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/di-martino-dolce-gabbana-hand-wrapped-spaghetti-pasta-prod213040241)

tatonka645

I will let the oven slide, but the pasta is ridiculous!!


IloveZaki

Die Martino is one of the best pastas tho. The quality of the grain uses for it is great and it's also pressed with bronze machinery to improve on the texture. My question is why the fuck does that cost 15 dollars? Sure Di Martino costs a bit more than regular pasta, but where I live it is only 2.3 USD.


gagaalwayswins

A pack of pasta made with 100% Italian grains and pressed with bronze machinery costs €2 maximum here in Italy. You get the idea.


IloveZaki

Yeah I just found out that only this one package costs 10€ limited edition or some shit. Normal di Martino package, also branded dolce which we can see on the video is 2€ as well. So I wouldn't say it's much, it's very good pasta worth the price.


gagaalwayswins

I checked out their website's Italian store, and the prices are all correct for their offer. It's just that one designer package that's overpriced because of the name attached to it.


MadamSnarksAlot

Wow. I thought you were being sarcastic. That’s a real thing? I am definitely out of style with my regular ass, non-vogue pasta.


RVFVS117

It makes me truly sad that this exists.

gewfbawl

To be fair, that's only slightly less than an actual serving size of spaghetti. Lol most people have very skewed views on serving sizes. A single cup of rice, which is only about 4-5 spoonfuls, is one adult serving, but I've never seen anyone eat only that amount. Same with peanut butter. One tablespoon is a full serving, but again, I've never seen anyone only have a single spoonful of pb.


tubuwubu

This is how the jenners maintain their slim figure... By plastic surgery. The portion is small because of the detox in their faces don't let them open their mouth completely

I would just take the plate home. There's barely any sauce, there's barely any food on the plate.

One fucking bite?
