American and Italian cuisine: all the worst horrors
Here are the dishes that in America are "very Italian", but which do not exist in Italy
There is a myth to dispel: when you go around the world just choose a restaurant (pseudo) Italian to eat well. Never rule was more wrong. To eat really well when you are away from the magical Italian stove, the solution is: find the best restaurants, kiosks, pubs that make typical cuisine of the place in which we find ourselves. The Italian cuisine is certainly one of the best cuisines in the world and certainly the most imitated, but we can not expect that everyone knows accomplish just as we know it, especially if a country has a different food from our culture. An example? Think about how many pseudo Italian dishes depopulated in America, but that in Italy no one has ever heard! Are you ready for this series of special dishes to say the least?
Pineapple Pizza
See the pineapple on the pizza was a real blow to the heart. Okay reinvent the pizza, national and world heritage, to make more and more new and creative ... but there is a limit to everything. Did you happen to taste it? Perhaps we lack the courage.
Macaroni Salad
Another dish that has very little Italian, but the memory of the word "macaroni" in the name. We also are used to prepare pasta salads during the summer, but we selectprimarily the type of dough to be used andsecundis condiments: few, fresh and certainly not disproportionate quantities of creams and artificial flavorings.
Meatballs, spaghetti or pizza?
The meatballs are a food that Americans regard decidedly Italian. It really is! Because the meatballs for us to have a Sunday dish. But if with the noodles are popular, placed on the pizza ... clash!
bacon and egg
The carbonara is an Italian dish at 100%. You prepare for so long and in so many places in Italy that whenever we find ourselves in the kitchen, there is always someone who brings out the sensitive issues of: bacon or bacon? Only yolk or whole egg? long or short pasta Pasta? But you never heard any Italian consider a Made in USA variant, for example, with the raw egg or cream. One reason there will be.
Fettuccine Alfredo
Fettuccine pulled by hand, butter and Parmesan cheese. That would be the easy Italian recipe guarded by the historian (and namesake) Roman restaurant. Needless to say, his journey to the new continent caused no little distortion. Fettuccine Alfredo can be found in any Italian restaurant on American soil, with the use of the most imaginative ingredients. I wonder what he would think the real Alfredo who invented the original recipe.
the Chicken Pasta
It is a first? It is a second? It is a meal with the Greek first and second in the same dish? Which region of Italy comes this recipe? Those who have proposed to the Americans? Who told you taught?
Spaghetti with ketchup
No need to comment.
muffuletta Sandwich
Muffuletta (or even muffoletta or muffuletto) is an original Italian name. It is a Sicilian bread, round and sesame. The turning point for this bread (positive or negative, you decide) came when Italians traferitisi in New Orleans decided to dress it with ham, salami, mortadella, Swiss cheese, provolone and a salad of black and green olives with 'addition of capers and artichokes. A sandwich of Italian has only the name of bread and can eat only in America.
Caesar salad
The ingredients are: romaine lettuce, cheese, toasted bread with olive oil, eggs, an emulsion of olive oil, lemon and garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. It is not a traditional Italian recipe, but comes from the Mexican tradition!
(Italian) Wedding soup
It happens very often that this soup is presented as a typical dish of Italian weddings. A noodle soup with vegetables and meat. Although it may contain refined ingredients, there you see it a noodle soup on the menu of an Italian wedding?
