Talk:Spaghetti all'assassina

Verifiability of this dish’s existence before 2021
I’m having a very hard time finding any sourcing about this dish’s existence before 2021. There seem to be a lot of stories floating around, but nothing verifiable. As with lots of Italian cooking, there’s obvious internal and external division over the authenticity of many dishes, but it seems like for some reason the literature is silent on this. Searching “Spaghetti all'Assassina” and “spaghetti all’Assassino” in my university library is drawing no hits. Paragon Deku (talk) 00:09, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

IPA-it
"Spaghetti all'assassina is similar in preparation to pasta risottata "; we absolutely don't pronounce it like this, not with "z"; I hope that other pronunciations don't have similar errors, otherwise I will have to eliminate many of them. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * See the last bulleted "note" at Italian phonology. I think /z/ is acceptable for intervocalic s in IPA transcriptions of Italian words. Deor (talk) 14:35, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * all right. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:37, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
