The origins of spaghetti

It is said that the spaghetti were introduced 718 years ago

in Italy by Marco Polo after returning from his trip from

China in 1295.

The spaghetti is a type of pasta shaped like long thin

strings of circular section.

People usually buy spaghetti prepared but in Italy it is

made by hand, from the ingredients flour, salt, water and

egg. When the dough is made you use a machine to make

the form, then boil it and you can put salsa on it.

Today a lot of people like spaghetti.

Macaroni and cheese According to legend, macaroni were brought to Italy by Marco

Polo, when he returned in 1292 to Venice from his trip to China.

This hypothesis has been refuted, since it seems that the

macaroni was already used in Italy, at least a century before.

Macaroni are a kind of pasta made from water, flour and,

sometimes, egg which usually takes the form of elongated tube.

Macaroni are usually medium sized, almost longer than thick.

In their preparation at home, the cheese is usually prepared like

a Mornay sauce, with butter and cheese cooked in a roux. The

final texture of this cheese sauce should resemble a cream.

The food that I want to write on is the “taco”.

Mexicans made the first taco. It’s like an omelet;

you can fill it with meat like steak, sausages…

It is round but you roll it to eat. You can eat it with

your hands and it’s usually accompanied with green

sauce or cocktail sauce.

Today it is expanded world-wide. The origin is

Mexican taco.

oRIGINS OF FOOD

It may have originated as a variation of another layered

dessert, Zuppa Inglese.

Other sources report the creation of the cake to have

originated in the city of Siena.

Alternatively, accounts by Carminantonio Iannaccone and

Nathan Lopez (as researched and written about by The

Washington Post) establish the creation of Tiramisu by him

on 24 December 1969 in Via Sottotreviso while he was head

chef at Treviso, near Venice.

The translation of the name Italian tiramisu means "pick-me-

up".

RISOTTO

Risotto is a class of Italian rice with an interesting history.

It's healthy and can be prepared in lots of different ways.

This delicious dish can be prepared with many ingredients,

for example butter, wine and onion.

The story of risotto began with the Arabs. They brought rice

to Sicily and Spain. Italy was a perfect place to grow rice

because the weather was humid.

Valerious is probably the creator of risotto. In 1574 he

added an ingredient called saffron to the rice.

One of Italy's most famous dishes is Risotto alla Milanese.

In Po Valley, where lots of Italian rice grows, risotto usually

is preferred with pasta. In Venice and Veneto, they eat

risotto with eels as a traditional Christmas meal.

the yesterday. The first “migas” was made 2000

years before Christ. To make this you need hard

THE ORIGINS OF SOUP My favourite food is soup. This food is made with water and

other ingredients as pasta, chicken, vegetables, fish...

The soup was cooked since the Neolithic, and is probably

the oldest cooked food in all times.

The word "soup" originally means "water with bread”, and the first soup dishes were hot water with breaking bread.

Today there are even tetra briks soups, there are many

types of them, and it is possible to buy in all the supermarkets.

I like the chicken soup of Mercadona. It is delicious.
