ITALAN FOOD BY: TYLER When you dig into the history of Italian food you realize that there is much more to it than heaped up piles of pasta. Italy expands over a sizeable piece of southern Europe and has many different regions each having their own special dishes and eating habits. The cooking styles and ingredients also different from area to area.

The food of Italy has also been influenced with the changes that have taken place in the world through the passage of time. Today the Italian dishes features meals that are based on the pre Roman era taste along with others that are strikingly different to the traditional dishes of Italy.

Actually food is one of the cornerstones of Italian culture and even if times are changing and life is more and more frenetic, Italians still find a great pleasure in sitting at a table, in a home or restaurant and sharing a good meal together.

Italian food for Italians is a reason of pride. You can recognize Italians abroad for their longing of typical dishes, pasta over every other. And you can see how dishearten they are when they try pasta outside Italy. Some upper class foreign restaurants have managed to master almost all the typical Italian dishes, but pasta still eludes them.

Italians love discovering new foods and new way of preparing familiar dishes. Every year there's more and more interest in the traditional cuisine of the various regions and in biological, environment friendly foods.
