Yeah it’s called Pasta ca’muddica and has a whole bunch of variations such as adding anchovies.

I interpreted it as high Cost of Living area if it helps.

I imagine the likely conclusion of it would come up with would be something like “decrease the size of the human population”.

Convince my SO to watch Vampire’s Kiss with me recently and she hated it but I’ve got love for it. It doesn’t make much sense, has an awesome soundtrack and he really went in on just being weird with the role.

Personally my favourite is Nabeghlavi. I’m assuming that you’re in North America based on your current choice, in which case I checked and you’re in luck they do actually distribute to the US and Canada so you might want to look out for it but I imagine that as it’s imported it would be a bit pricey.

My other personal recommendations are Borjomi or Maravella.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, friend.
