I’m making spaghetti aglio e olio right now but I don’t have chilli flakes. Can I replace them with black pepper

Hi guys, I was in doubt, cuz the barmen or who works in pasticceria said that cornetto con chocolate is absolutely no pork fat, no alcohol. Anyway, I do not know about Veneto region, sometimes they are using burro strutto in their croissants.

Anyway, I am not sure may be barmen does not know about that? Cuz it's necessary for me without any pork fat, alcohol, gelatin, etc.

Guys for how many percentage you can say that in every pasticceria the whole Italy or Veneto region are using pork fat?

Should I avoid it?

I would really appreciate your answer, it's important for me due to religious.

Chicken murphy is an italian meal. Fra Diavolo is an italian sauce. How is that italian american? Stunad
