Pastagate

Pastagate is the informal name of an incident that began in 2013 in Quebec, when, on February 14, an inspector of the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) sent a letter of warning to an upscale restaurant, Buonanotte, for using Italian words such as "Pasta", "antipasti", "calamari", etc. on its menu instead of their French equivalents. The incident occurred as the Assemblée Nationale was debating on Bill 14, a bill to toughen the province's Charter of the French Language.
