The tomato comes from Peru and spaghetti was probably a gift from China.
It is, though, the “foreign” kebab that is being kicked out of Italian cities as it becomes the target of a campaign against ethnic food, backed by the centre-right Government of Silvio Berlusconi.
The drive to make Italians eat Italian, which was described by the Left and leading chefs as gastronomic racism, began in the town of Lucca this week, where the council banned any new ethnic food outlets from opening within the ancient city walls.
Yesterday it spread to Lombardy and its regional capital, Milan, which is also run by the centre Right. The antiimmigrant Northern League party brought in the restrictions “to protect local specialities from the growing popularity of ethnic cuisines”.

So all it takes to be an outlaw in Italy is to impale foods on a skewer and cook it over an open heat source?

I can see it now: A holding cell filled with ne're do wells. A thug asks a Mamas Boy , what did you do, Kid. He says 'I made a Kabob' , everyone backs off ... :dizzy:
