Yeah, the Italians are really funny about their food.
I remember a tour guide almost gagging when she mentioned "all the things Americans put on pizza."
I tend to be philosophical about cultural peculiarities, but even I was a bit red-faced when my grandchildren asked for pizza at La Fenice in Venice.

In Denmark they had what looked like canned mixed vegetables on pizza. I didn’t try it.

Considering that one of the oldest recipes we have for pizza (yes, written by an Italian!) includes rosewater and sugar I just laugh at the delicate little flowers.
If you really want to see them melt down point out that oldest recipe for lasagna is probably British. Much fun can be had.
