Spaghetti Exceptionalism

Concept, similar to American Exceptionalism, frequently heard in Italy, that Italian food is, beyond comparison, the very best in the world, and that the cuisine of every other country sucks to the point that it cannot be eaten without vomiting.

This phenomenon can seem further exaggerated by the religious belief of many Italians that their mother or grandmother makes absolutely the _best_ Melanzane alla Parmigiana in the world, and nobody elses can compare.

If you experience this phenomenon, just agree. To argue can put yourself in extreme danger.
"Man I made a mistake tonight: didn't really want to suggest to Gianni and Francesca that we eat Tapas, did I?"

"Oops. To Gianni that's almost as bad as suggesting there's a restaurant that can make Tiramisu as well as his Mamma! So you experienced your first Spaghetti Exceptionalism, did you?"

"Exactly! And then Helen made the mistake of suggesting that pasta every day is boring, and she fancied a Thai - didn't wanna do that!"

"Nooooooo! Thai food to an Italian? That's like suggesting that you put the first course on the same plate as the meat... Outrageous!"

"Did you ever go to Barcelona, Pinuccia?"

"Oh yes, Penelope. You have a wonderful city! I love Barca so much but I couldn't eat the food. It was disgusting! My mother had to send me food parcels every week, and by the time I came home, I was fifteen pounds thinner! I am never going there again."

"Oh no, Pinuccia! You didn't like our food?"

"It's foul, Penelope! It's sooo bad. How did you ever survive? But Italian food is the best in the world you know. And my Mamma makes the best Spaghetti con Vongole in all of Genova. Would you like to come at the weekend and try some? You will be very grateful for everything she can teach you!"

crime fraud exception

An existing legal concept addressing how the attorney-client privilege essentially evaporates due to the exception that exists when a client seeks the services of an attorney for the underlying purpose of receiving the legal assistance to commit a crime.
One of the ex-Thief in Chief’s attorneys, Evan Corcoran, has been subpoenaed to testify in the federal stolen classified documents case and he will likely be compelled, thanks to the crime fraud exception, to discuss things that would have otherwise been protected by the attorney-client privilege.
