‘Spaghetti bolognese doesn’t actually exist, yet it’s famous the world over,’ Bologna mayor Virginio Merola told Italian radio broadcaster RAI.
‘What we’d prefer the world to know is that Bologna invented tagliatelle, tortellini and lasagne.’
The 64-year-old bespectacled democrat is leading his campaign on social media where he is calling out for images from fellow Italians disgruntled by the apparently mythical dish.
‘Dear residents, I am collecting photos of spaghetti Bolognese from around the world (speaking of fake news),’ he tweeted last month.
‘This one is from London, please send me yours,’ added, along with a photo of a restaurant chalkboard advertising the ‘specialty of the house,’ spaghetti bolognese.
His outcry has received many replies that would incense Italians. Not least a Danish squeezable pasta sauce.

Mosgt of us associate the name with an inexpensive, inferior lunch meat. I would much rather live in Genoa or Soppresata.

During 1970s Merola became a member of the Italian Communist Party, of which Bologna was a solid stronghold. -Wikipedia

Remember watching an episode of Top Gear. Richard Hammond wants nothing except to eat spaghetti bolognese in Bologna and can’t find anyplace to eat it.

Probably Brits. Spag Bol is one of the first things a college kid in England is taught to make. When I used to visit Sicily, you would see Spag Bol with Chips on the menu.

All I know is, Bolognaise meat sauce is wonderful. The recipe I use is a six to eight hour process and is worth every minute.
