FRY IT UP! Chefs run out of Frying Oil shortly before Diplomatic Meeting
An official meeting in Roma between the Federal Kingdom of Italy and the Confederacy was apparently soiled upon the serving of the meeting's main course, according to official sources from the State Department. Mr. Preston Thomas, the Confederate Ambassador to Italy, met Mrs Amelia Martaci, Italy's Minister to Amalia, to reportedly discuss economic and political relations between the Federal Kingdom and the Confederacy. The meeting had gone well, supposedly, until the main course of the pranzo was served. Mr. Thomas was reportedly discomforted, and stormed out of the meeting, after being presented a copy of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, deep fried and served with a side of butter, on a platter with utensils and napkin.
The Confederate Ambassador, after excusing himself from the meeting, has not contacted the Italian State Department since the date of the incident. However, staff at the State Department have reported that the main dish of the meeting's pranzo was "deep fried with care,", and how the culinary staff responsible for the meeting's meal were "disappointed and confused at Mr. Thomas' actions." Following the meeting's abrupt and crispy ending, La Polpetta reached out to Signora Martaci for any comments on the meeting or the golden crispy goodness served up on a silver platter, all in the name of the communist ambassador.
"Well, we just wanted to give Mr. Thomas a taste of home," argued Mrs. Amelia Martaci stated in a press conference following the meeting. "We had instructed the lead chef responsible for planning and preparing the meeting's pranzo to take inspiration from the cuisine and geopolitical affairs of the Confederacy, and this is what he interpreted our instructions as. As far as I see it, he deserves a promotion and a raise from the State Department for his creativity and ingenuity in the kitchen, regardless of the complaints raised by Mr. Thomas."
Mr. Thomas' staff had published an open letter to the Italian State Department, condemning the main course of the meal and citing the sacredness of the manifesto to the communist regime that has ruled the Confederacy for the majority of the 20th century. The Italian State Department, according to rumors, mailed the letter back, deep fried with a side of mayonnaise, in addition to a second deep fried copy of the Communist Manifesto. It is unclear whether or not the Confederate Ambassador's Office has sent an official response back to the Italian State Department, but it is quite clear it should come with a side of butter and a healthy heap of heart disease. Eat up, y'all!
