I recently learned that lasagna isn't supposed to have cheese in the filling. Yet it's very common for this to be the case at most "Italian" restaurants.

Who knew?

That many Mediterranean, Arabic, Indian, and Italian foods are spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon.

Growing up, cinnamon was a dessert flavor.

Nutmeg was Christmas.

Now my bechemel can't live without it.

Was doing some research on it

Initially the claim was made by David Chang in a video I was watching

Upon further research it turns out it's not traditional which is surprising to me. Mario Batali and the like don't use cheese as a filler. The white layer is supposed to be a bechemel sauce, not cheese. Weird right?

I stand corrected. That seems like a thorough and extensive study.

FODMAPs are the new gluten.

I would suggest buying stock in whatever company/food specializes in reducing FODMAPs.
