Vegan Threatens to Stab Her Mom for Cooking Pasta with Meat Sauce

Source – A 48-year-old Italian vegan has been ordered to pay her mother compensation after threatening to kill her for making traditional Bolognese meat sauce.

The smell of one of Italy’s most cherished dishes – ragù – was enough to set off a domestic disturbance that ended with the mother being threatened with a kitchen knife, a court heard.

Newly unemployed, the daughter had recently moved back in with her mother, who cooked in the typical tradition of rezdore, as housewives are called in the local Emilia Romagna dialect.

One of the signature dishes of every rezdore is Bolognese meat sauce, slow simmered for hours using a variety of meats including diced prosciutto cured ham, ground beef and sometimes chicken livers, then served over pasta or polenta.

Lawyers for the mother, who asked not to be named, said the family dynamic had degenerated due to irreconcilable conflicts over the mother and daughter’s different food cultures – the former heavy in butter, cream and meat, the latter exempt of all animal products.

The daughter told a court she’d long had “no sensory nor olfactory contact” with animal products before moving back in with her mother, for whom the rich, red meat sauce was standard fare.

I don’t think anybody could’ve seen that coming. A 48-year-old unemployed woman moving back in with her mother who partakes not in the meat, nor the breastmilk, nor the ovum, of any creature, with a face …

… and she turns out to be a selfish, entitled, inconsiderate bitch with a violent streak a mile wide? There was no predicting that behavior. But I guess that’s just what will happen when you’ve had neither sensory nor olfactory contact with any animal products for a while. Short answer: Vegans are just better than everyone else.

You have to feel for her mom, too. A dish like Bolognese isn’t dinner to a woman like that. It’s religion. I spent time in Italy over the summer and met a guy who said he came out as gay to his grandmother and it didn’t phase her in the least. So as a joke he told her he’s also coming out as vegetarian and she said “Congratulations. You just killed me.” This mom is probably cut from that same cloth. Where food is life itself and when you want to show people you love them you do it by cooking for them. Unfortunately, she raised a self-absorbed little pissant who’d rather show her love for own virtue by pulling a knife on the woman who brought her into the world whom she’s in the process of mooching off of. Nice adult daughter you got there, Rezdore.

The only surprising thing about this story is that the daughter got away with a fine. In Italy I thought they burned vegans at the stake. Guess not. You were ve-gone. Now you’ll be gone.
