Nazi-Themed Spaghetti? Why Not.

How about a side of Hitler with your pasta?
Taiwan restaurant owner Tsao Ya-sin caused quite an uproar when she unveiled her latest Italian special: “Long Live Nazi Spaghetti.”
Why the Third Reich theme? Tsao explains that the dish has German sausage in it.
Tsao was also quoted as saying that she just “wanted to get customers attention” — but sharp reprimands from both the Israeli and German embassies in Taiwan was probably not was Ya-sin had in mind.
What’s more, the dish has apparently been on the menu since Rock Hill’s grand opening — last year. But don’t worry: In light of the controversy, the dish has been renamed to “World Champion Spaghetti” — in honor of Germany’s World Cup victory.
