This is one of the reasons I started teaching. Here in the Southern, sUnited States (MS), there concept of Italian are those Italian-American franchises that do nothing but encourage ignorant behavior in the kitchen. I try to correct it always and immediately. The biggest issue for me today is the use of the world "Marinara." This is a huge pet peeve of mine since "Marinara" refers to a fish sauce, as you know. It does not refer to the use of only tomato's. Ignorance drives me over the edge. I just close my eyes and teach all I can. If that doesn't help, I always quote a my favorite, premier cooking school in Parma Italy, La Academia Barilla. Otherwise, I tell them to forget Italian food for them. hahha! Sometimes, its just not worth it!
