Italian Food
What are some weird and wonderful facts about Italian food and the way Italians eat?
I'm doing a school presentation to Italian food and I thought it would make it more interesting if I use some interesting data.
a) the Italians like freshly cooked food from zero. Precooked and microwave meals are almost unknown here. For this reason the Italians go grocery shopping almost every day, and refrigerators in homes Italians are much smaller in size compared to the Americans. In Italy, many foods (like bread, cheese and some varieties of fruit) is supposed to be consumed within days or even hours after it is well done or the harvest, otherwise it will quickly become inedible. b) Italians like to enjoy full meals dishes at lunch and dinner, and take their time to eat slowly to appreciate. Not many people in Italy, eating a sandwich for lunch or bring a luch box along. In many Italian cities shops and offices still close to 13:00 to 15:00 to allow their owners and employees to go home, have lunch and return to work. Companies in Italy with a labor force over a certain size are required by law to provide employees with a cafeteria that serves hot lunch or give them food coupons can be redeemed for a fixed-price meals at some restaurants. c Italian) are very interested in preserving culinary traditions of their own area. The recipes are passed from mothers to daughters (and sons too), and a girl being able to cook is still valued as an asset when she is dating someone. In Italy, the cuisine is considered as a way to communicate feelings, and inability to cook or have no interest in food seen as a social impediment. d) In the wine of Italy is considered a food too, and it is not uncommon to see children as young as 13 allows you to have a bit of wine mixed with water for drinking during meals.
