Italian cuisine

to retain opposing values, traditions, and beliefs, every culture preserves an innate purpose or lesson that can subsist valuable. Personally, I would love to travel to Italy, not only to experience the landscape, but also to perceive how the overall Italian culture contrasts to my European culture. When I speak of the Italian culture, I am reflecting on the overall values, beliefs, and traditions of the Italians, rather than a direct group or location within Italy.

Meatballs Pretty much the perfect meal. Protein, carbs, dairy, and vegetables; the only thing missing is fruit but they mostly contain sugar anyways. Meatballs, being an Italian-American, dish were a frequent flyer in my household. It can all be traced back up the family tree: my great-great grandma moved here from Calabria, she taught my great grandma who perfected the recipe. She then taught my grandma who kind of lost the skill and special recipe with the rise of frozen food from the mid-70s…

Out of all the Italian cuisines nothing is more famous than Tortellini, with the exception of ravioli of course. Tortellini is considered the ambassador of Italian cuisine. The word tortellini comes from the Italian plural of tortellino, diminutive of tortello ‘small cake, fritter. The shape tortellini is often said to come from a legend.

I chose to immerse myself into the Italian culture. Choosing this culture was not difficult because I am, according to AncestryDNA, 75% Italian and would love to learn more about where I come from. The only exposure that I have gotten in relation to the culture was when I traveled to Italy in June of 2017 and by living at home with my extended Italian family. After extensive research, I learned a hefty amount of information on Italian culture. For the course, I was required to download two…

a while for the rest of the society to be on board with the idea that tomatoes were in fact harmless, but once they did Italian cuisine was changed forever (Demetri, p. 1). What most articles have in common is that pizza was truly made famous when King Umberto I and Queen Margherita visited Naples in 1889. The legend has it that after Italy unified in 1861 King Umberto I and Queen Margherita traveled Italy to take an inspection tour of her Italian Kingdom. The story says that the King and Queen…

Before I took Italian 1, I did not know much about the modern Italy. I knew that Italy was a world super power during the Renaissance and rise and fall of the Roman Empire, but I never thought of it to be a modern power. I was very wrong. Italy is still one of the most advance and culturally influential nations on the planet. They are a nation of swift innovation, bold design, and cultural influence. Italy is a nation that historically, and still today, pushes the boundaries in almost every…

In the 1910s [she didn’t know exactly the year], Renee’s great-grandparents immigrated to America from Italy by boat. They lived in New York, had kids [one of them was then Renee’s grandfather], and opened an Italian family restaurant. From what we have learned about global flows, people migrate around the world for many reasons; and that seeking economic opportunity was what both Renee and I believed why her great-grandparents chose to leave Italy for America. Apparently, they made the trek to…
