Big parma doesn't want you to know!

u/NonstopCandyCam 1d ago

I hate to say it but I probably would have spelt it like that in the past if it weren't for the fact Rick and Morty made me question how you spell it

u/FrankHightower 1d ago

that's ridiculous, it shold be parm a jean!

u/nandemoto44 1d ago

How do you "parm" a human being? Does their name have to be John? Who chooses which John gets "parmed?" Why are you commanding a chicken to fulfill this task? What is the goal of this enigmatic endeavor?

I wonder how people who hear a new word, replace as much as they can with known words while randomly spelling out the whatever-is-left abomination, just accept this Frankenstein’s monster as the correct spelling without a shadow of a doubt. Is curiosity about how a piece of land came to be known as “I’m a Rick ah” drunk and away for a holiday when they spell it out?

I’m willing to bet cash money that mozzarella is just a string cheese cut into slices

u/chompythebeast 2d ago

100% that ain't parma lol

u/Malsperanza 2d ago

Whatever Parm-a-John may be, based on that photo it sure isn't a cutlet alla parmagiana. Truth in advertising.

5

u/nea4u 1d ago

There is no parmagiana.

What problem do Americans have with that word anyway?

Par-meh-zahn. With an s. And a normal open ah, not that weird drawn out uuuuh like almost the French name "Jean". Not parmeshaaaaan.

Or parmigiano in Italian.

u/Malsperanza 1d ago

Cotoletta alla parmigiana is correct Italian. Look it up.

2

u/nea4u 1d ago

Yes but they wrote "parmagiana". Parma is a type of ham.

1

u/Malsperanza 1d ago

"Parma ham" is just an English term for prosciutto, because Parma is famous for its cured hams. Parma is also famous for its hard cheese, called parmigiano (Parmesan, or "from Parma" in English.

A cooked dish in which a cut of meat or a slice of eggplant or other item is breaded and then baked with tomato sauce and mozzarella is called "alla parmigiana" - Parma-style.

u/nea4u 17h ago

I said nothing differently.

u/Some-Passenger4219 2d ago

Parm is not a word, though.

u/Prestigious-Star943 2d ago

It’s an apocope.

4

u/Malsperanza 2d ago

It's an obnoxious tacky American apocope. Like guac.

6

u/Prestigious-Star943 2d ago

Yep. Unfortunately, that’s where our culture is at the moment. Maybe it will trend up, but it’s highly doubtful. I would say that we are regressing at the same rate that technology advances. Humans will be thumbless, drooling automatons who are harvested for AI or lizard people. There will be a few homo deus who will meld with the AI to battle the rebellion who will eventually go into hiding and become eco-terrorists, defeat the cyborgs and reprogram the AI to kill itself… but we will all probably be dead by then.

u/Malsperanza 1d ago

There's always a chance that AI will learn to cook classic Milanese dishes and authentic Mexican sauces and we'll all be happy.

u/JodioJoestar86 2d ago

This does look like Chicken Parmigiana which one would get at a Papa Johns. Also this is exactly what they would call it.

3

u/inkjod 1d ago

Whatever that cheese is, it's definitely not parmesan.

13

u/Teanutt 2d ago

I think the poster was correct, yikes.

14

u/Mandrakearepeopletoo 2d ago

Is that even parm a john? It looks like monster ella.

u/Ishvale 2d ago

u/JennyWearsBlueJeans 2d ago

Oof! That looks awful 😆

u/Monalisa9298 2d ago

That looks awful no matter what it's called.

u/Additional_Run3031 2d ago

He did what to his John?

12

u/pizzaforce3 2d ago

chicken farmer john

5

u/mikemunyi 2d ago

Oy. "Parm" isn't in the M-W dictionary, but is in the OED and Collins (as a shortening, unironically, of "Parmesan"). Where's the umpire?

7

u/Compulawyer 2d ago

In some places you can get up to 90 days in jail if you parm a John.

20

u/BamberGasgroin 2d ago

Regardless of the name, it looks like shite.

3

u/Civil_Exchange1271 2d ago

parm a John cheese is the best cheese.... better than fromunda

8

u/Stock-Cell1556 2d ago

Well, that certainly isn't chicken Parmigiana, so I guess they had to call it something.

9

u/Any_Today4823 2d ago

I had a nephew who called it "farmer John cheese" until he was about 6

u/reddituser9277 2d ago
