For a foodie, the biggest dream is to eat food from all over the world. The eating habits of each country are different, and the representative food is also different.
Japanese cuisine has less oil, less salt, and is light and healthy; Korean cuisine is spicy and delicious, and kimchi is a must; Americans cannot do without meat, and their diet prefers high-calorie and high-fat. Speaking of "Gourmet Kingdom" Italy, many people first think of pasta, pizza, ham, wine, and delicious ice cream.
Due to the diversity of climate and region, Italy has unique local cuisine, including: Italian sausage, Parma ham, Mozzarella cheese, Florentine steak. Among many western countries, Italian cuisine is the most appetizing of Chinese people, and it is world-renowned for its rich and diverse taste and variety of pasta. In this issue, I will take a look at the three meals a day of ordinary Italian families. After reading it, I finally understand: why Italian cuisine is called "the mother of western food".
breakfast
In addition to potatoes, peppers, corn and other vegetables, tomatoes are the most inseparable in the Italian diet. They are eaten raw, made of salad, juice, tomato sauce, sweet and sour. , Delicious and healthy. The Italian breakfast is very simple, a plate of pasta, bread spread with butter jam, another cup of coffee, and occasionally salad and dessert. The breakfast is rich in variety, low in calories and fat, ensuring a balanced nutrition, and not getting dizzy because of eating too much.
Italian people like to drink coffee very much, get up in the morning and drink a cup, drink a cup in the morning when tired, a cup of coffee after lunch helps digestion, afternoon tea with dessert, or even dinner A cup. Italians who drink coffee all day don't know if they will suffer from insomnia at night.
Lunch
Italians generally eat breakfast late, so lunch starts at 1:30 or 2:00. The lunch includes appetizers and three main dishes. The appetizers are mostly cold cuts. Mix raw meat, bread, vegetables, fruits, and cheese evenly, sprinkle some salt and olive oil to taste, balanced nutrition, and serve as an appetizer.
The first course includes soup, pasta, pizza, corn cake; the second course is the main course, all kinds of seafood and meat can be chosen at will, baked in the oven, or fried in a pan Once fried, sprinkle with salt and pepper, in order to supplement vitamins, it will be paired with roasted vegetables, steamed vegetables, etc.; the third course includes salad, dessert, ice cream, cheese, and a cup of coffee or wine after the meal to help digestion.
90% of Italians eat at least one plate of noodles at noon. Italians love pasta very much, and there are at least hundreds of types of noodles. According to the needs of consumers, the shapes are all kinds of weird, screws, butterflies, shells, stars, hearts, small fishes, full of fun. With various flavors of sauces, minced meat, tomatoes, sweet peppers, tuna and olives, it is delicious in color and flavor.
In addition to drinking coffee every day, wine is also a must-have drink on the table. Because there is no habit of persuading alcohol, it is all personal preference to drink more and less. Italians are used to drinking a small amount of sweet wine after meals. digestion. Because they drink moderate amounts of alcohol, Italians are not like the "combat nation" Russia, and often suffer from alcoholism.
Italians can’t live without desserts for three meals a day. There are many sweet varieties, including tiramisu, Sicilian three-color ice cream, and delicious Italian ice cream, with various flavors and rich milk flavor. The entrance is soft and smooth, and every ice cream is mouth-watering.
Dinner:
Dinner is the most important meal of three meals a day. Italians attach great importance to family. Family parties are held at dinner time. Everyone is drinking and chatting. Starting at 8pm, a meal often takes two hours or more.
It’s not an exaggeration to describe the dinner as "Man Han Quan Feast". Aperitifs, potato chips, nuts and other snacks are provided before the meal; then bread, pasta, various meats, seafood, and cheese are served; There are salads, desserts, ice cream, and a glass of wine after the meal helps digestion. If peopleMany, dinner can even be eaten from 8 to 12 o'clock.
Even if the Italian’s three meals a day are simple, they must be meat and vegetable, with a complete variety of styles. Dessert, coffee, and wine are necessary for meals, and they rush home to enjoy dinner every morning, which shows their taste for food and their love for life.
Italy is very similar to China in terms of cultural and historical accumulation. The variety of pasta is also very suitable for Chinese people. Italian cuisine is not like the high-calorie and high-fat of the United States, nor is it like Japan's low oil and salt. On the contrary, Italian food has a scent of incense, and it is also called the "mother of western food".
