Parmageddon: Why chicken parma is far from 'the worst dish ever' | adamliaw

Like many Australians, I was both shocked and dismayed to read Callan Boys' unprovoked attack on that icon of our cuisine, the chicken parmigiana.

It hasn't spoken of its region for very long. When tomatoes reached Italy from the New World around the 16th century, both they and eggplant were considered by many to be poisonous and even a cause of insanity .

This pushed the parmi into more affordable territory and by the 1980s it had found its way into our British-influenced pubs on every suburban corner. That it remains fiercely popular today is testament to its broad and enduring appeal.

Chicken parma is the worst dish ever – here's whyThe chicken parmigiana is a waste of kilojoules. An abuse of deep-fried chook. Unaustralian Desperately flogging this click bait today aren’t ya?

Why Smith has 'cooked' Australian cricketFact: Steve Smith is the best since Bradman. So what on earth, asks hdelbs, do we do now? Ashes 9WWOS hdelbs Why when people talk ‘best since bradman’ do writers only reference modern players? The recent history bias always prevails. Smith on stats certainly has a strong argument, but why aren’t Sobers, Pollock, Hammond, Headley and others mentioned... hdelbs Sir DON SMITH 😍😍😍😍😍 hdelbs When trying to explain Steve Smith’s batting to junior cricketers, coaches and parents alike should be mindful to explain that he has an amazing eye and he lives and breaths cricket.. hours and hours of net practice.. even when he’s not batting he’s batting in his mind..

Why one of Australia's leading gay rights activists wants to keep these 'holy relics' safeFlags made from the dresses of drag queens who fought New York police following the Stonewall Inn raid in 1969 are amongst gay rights memorabilia going into to a new archive to help people understand. 🤡 Good for him. Wish they'd repaint the gay Jesus at Tempe. Used to be the highlight of my train trips to Sydney. After all, he really was a gay stoner--the twelve blokes, the visions and shit. Coming out to the family as a gay may seem tough, but you try coming out as a National Socialist.

Why those abandoning veganism experience 'violent' backlashSocial media has 'increased the visibility' of our dietary choices. Ever notice how dumb people like vegans and anti-vaxers want everyone else to be as dumb as them. narrator voice: There is absolutely no evidence of violence in this article. None. Whatsoever. Just one quote including the word violently. Vegans consistantly appear to be more militant and openly intolerant to those that don't follow their beliefs/diet than those which practice their own elected diets and are used as examples in the article. No wonder vegans receive direct negative feedback.
