I--Italy
Ciao!
We have landed in Italy today.
If I had to choose my favorite all
time food it probably would be
Italian, might have something to
do with the yummy carbs. :)
According to Wikipedia---"Italian
cuisine is noted for it's regional
diversity, abundance of difference
in taste and is known to be one of
the most popular in the world,
with influences abroad."
Some of the different types of Italian
cuisine:
1. Zuppe e salse (soups and sauces)
2. Pane (bread)
3. Common pizzas
4. Pasta varieties
5. Pasta dishes
6. Rice dishes
7. Pesce (fish)
8. Carne (meat dishes and cured meats)
9. Verdura (vegetables)
10. Nut dishes
11. Vino (wine)
12. Formaggi (cheese)
13. Desserts and pastry
14. Caffee' (coffee)
Plus many more items from various
regions.
Now for my faves:
Pizza, Spaghetti, Lasagna, Baked Ziti,
Garlic Bread, Baked Ravioli and Gelato.
Italian Restaurants we enjoy are Olive
Garden, a Mom and Pop place in our
neighborhood, Spin Pizza, Pizza Shoppe
plus we enjoy Italian faves from other
restaurants don't just serve Italian.
Where do you weigh in on this delightful
subject?
Bon Appetit!

This post makes me SO hungry. My best friend is Italian, and her mom was the best cook ever!!
ReplyDeleteWell, after I did this post I had a hankering for pizza--so that was what we had for dinner.
DeleteSounds like a great friend to have.

I think the reason I like Italian is because you can choose to have dishes with meat or not. I'm not a big meat eater and the pasta is very satisfying...
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. So many choices and
Deletevarieties to choose from.

This is a post for I. Italian pasta, pizza also is italian? Interesting things are coming to light through A to Z interaction. For my A to Z 2019 blog, the post explaining What is the difference between Industrial Engineering and Operations Management? turns out to be the most useful post. I expect 1000 page views by April end.
ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteWhile I enjoy newcomers to my blog,
I do not appreciate when I am questioned
on my information.
I would not be presumptuous enough to come
by your blog and question your information.
If you choose to come back please remember this.
If this occurs again I will delete your comment and report you to the AtoZ Admins.
Love all of this! My wife and I go to Olive Garden on occasion, but rarely to any other Italian restaurants unless we are visiting our kids in NJ. Sadly my wife isn't exuberant over Italian food much of the time although she loves the spaghetti that I fix--it was my mother's recipe. If I get pizza then I get it just for me unless we're in NJ and then I get a lot of pizza I share with the kids and all.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to go to bed thinking about Italian food.
