La Cucina Italiana

La Cucina Italiana (stylized in all caps) is an Italian monthly magazine focused on gastronomy and food culture.

First published in Milan on 15 December 1929 on the initiative of the journalist and literary man Umberto Notari, at the suggestion of his wife Delia Pavoni, who directed it until her death in 1935, the magazine was first created with the purpose of enhancing and promoting the traditional recipes of the Italian culinary art, as explained by the official name of the magazine. At the same time, dietary changes in the popular diet are also encouraged by proposing innovative and cheap culinary solutions, in line with the historical reference period. In each issue of the monthly magazine appear dozens of recipes, proposals for the table, old and new rules of etiquette, all embellished by personal recipes of artists and writers "dressed" with stories and poems.
In 2014 La Cucina Italiana was acquired by the American publishing house Condé Nast.6 In the first two-year period 2014-2015 it was directed by Ettore Mocchetti, followed in 2016-2017 by Maria Vittoria Dalla Cia. The current Director of the magazine, from June 2017, is Maddalena Fossati Dondero.

He thought he was Italian

An anti-semitic dog whistle phrase. Used when encountering someone who is Jewish. It is a play on the "Italian's aren't Jewish" joke, see the relevant family guy skit. The phrase itself is ironically derived from the title of a song, He Thought He was Italian by The Barcelona Gypsy Klezmer Orchestra, this song is a very Jewish, Klezmer song. It is unclear whether the two "He's" mentioned in the title are two different people(ie, someone thought that another person was Italian and they were actually Jewish) or if it is both the same man(ie, a person from Italy is unaware of their Jewish ancestry.
"Italian music. Yeah right. He thought he was Italian."
