uart Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Specifically, this targets Kebab, but if the policy is fully-pursued, you may not be able to buy Sicilian cuisine in Italian cities anymore. Italy bans kebabs and foreign food from cities The tomato comes from Peru and spaghetti was probably a gift from China. It is, though, the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, so the EU tells Obama to cut the "Buy American" clauses from the stimulus bill and he obliges them because at some point I guess the EU became the 51st state and he has to answer to them, while the Europeans are pulling stupid protectionist ideas like this?

Mavrik Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 No kebabs? I pretty much live on those here. You can't walk a block in Berlin without running into a Turkish kebab restaurant. Great stuff. Incredibly bad for you, but good stuff. Ironic that burlusconi feels compelled to pass laws banning food rather than focus on the countries problems with organized crime and general inefficiency.

Prolly because he knows its unlikely that the kebob chef will come to his house, shoot him in the head, cut his n*ts off and stuff them down his gaping maw. The other guys, not so sure.

Being protectionist screws over their own country overall. Sure, their food industry might now benefit, but overall, the lack of trade hurts their consumers with higher prices and less variety. So, in effect, protectionist hurts both foreign countries AND the home country. It's just like shooting yourself in the foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a large piece of bread filled with lamb, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and sauce. Some restaurants will shove French fries in the sandwich and you basically have to eat your way to the sandwich. Like I said, probably the most unhealthy food choice ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel better, it's not really Anti-TURKISH racism, but anti-Islamic sentiment that is causing it (the French/Spanish are NOTORIOUS for that). something about fascist food laws... sweet an excuse to post this: They took my BACON DOG!

They also have huge public outcrys over any official recognition of Islam. They actually forced a couple to stay married because their reason for divorcing was a violation of Sharia law. If they had just said "we don't get along" the court would've rubber-stamped it. There have been anti-muslim-immigrant riots and protests all over France as well. But yeah, the French government probably is pro-palestine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your confusing the riots we've had over the years. They were ghetto riots, that more to do with poorly managed integration of immigrants than with religion. Sarkozy when elected, nominated a 'head of Islam', just like there is for other religions, to be the spokesperson for his followers. This was widely applauded.
