And there is absolute crap cured meat in those countries too. The most disgusting pizza I've ever had was a Dr Oetker's frozen pizza with gross salami as topping. Seems like the brand is sold in Italy: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2005856/Ristorante-...

>Dr Oetker's frozen pizza

I'll stop you right here...

If you're Italian you don't buy "frozen pizza". You make your own, or you go to a good pizzeria...

Seem like at least some do: https://www.statista.com/statistics/912207/frozen-pizza-sale...

My point is that every country has good and bad food. You can find some of the worst “cheese” in the us, but also amazing artisan kinds that is is exuberantly priced. American country ham has won over Parma and iberico in blind tests by experts. There isn’t one Italy or one United States or one Sweden. It all depends on where you look…

Then why do frozen pizzas exist in Italian supermarkets?
Well, there's an opera in Nebraska as well, but I wouldn't consider it as some indicator of the state's cultural preferences...
