We are having our Italian night dinner and our crazy get together! We ending up singing and having fun on our last night of stay! We also spend our time with our friends that are moving to Wisconsin and create a good memories with them before we said our goodbyes. We had different kind of Italian food such as Pasta, eggplant lasagna, alfredo’s, seafood pasta, green salad and of course for dessert Tiramisu.
Italian meal structure is typical of the European Mediterranean region and differs from North, Central, and Eastern European meal structure, though it still often consists of breakfast, lunch, and supper. Wikipedia
Pasta is a type of food typically made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs, and formed into sheets or other shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. Wikipedia
Every Italian-American family has its own specific menu, but we typically ate pasta and meat, which usually consisted of meatballs, sausages, beef, and pork (including brasciolla). My grandfather was a butcher, so the meat would always be fresh and prepared to perfection.
With culinary traditions from Rome and Athens, a cuisine developed in Sicily that some consider the first real Italian cuisine. Arabs invaded Sicily in the 9th century, introducing spinach, almonds, and rice.
Pizza. Though a slab of flat bread served with oil and spices was around long before the unification Italy, there’s perhaps no dish that is as common or as representative of the country as the humble pizza. …
In Italy, things are a bit different: we usually care deeply and lovingly about our family’s cooking history: grandmas and moms’ recipes are passed on with care and pride, a symbol itself of one’s own heritage and roots. Some of us are more aware than others of regional characteristics typical of each dish, but it is not usual, when it comes to the kitchen, to look further back than a couple of generations: our knowledge of why we cook in a certain way and why we eat certain things is normally based on oral sources (our elders) and therefore have a limited timespan.
The history of Italian cuisine, however, is as long and rich as the country’s history itself, its origins laying deep into the ancenstral history of Rome, its people and its political, cultural and social power. Italian cuisine has evolved and changed following the evolution and the changes of Italy itself throughout centuries of wars, cultural mutations and contacts: it’s a history as rich, colorful and fascinating as the most amazing of recipes.
