ITALIAN CUISINE IN THE WORLD: THE TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS.

.The delicacies of Italian cuisine have always been known and appreciated all over the world. But if every gourmet Italian categorically rejects the idea of ​​eating "Italian" abroad there is a reason. Perhaps, as explained by a list compiled by the website "Italian Food Lovers," everything can be explained by the finding that immigrants of Italian origin over the years have contaminated their habits at the table with those of the country that welcomed them. So, especially in America, it is not difficult to find the myths of the kitchen tricolor. Italian Food Lovers has found ten, but certainly there are many others.CAPPUCCINO AFTER MEAL Definitely an Italian specialty, the cappuccino is intended, in its original use, solely to breakfast. Consumed by some mid-morning, never, never would be served after the meal. In the United States, and in many other countries, however, the cappuccino is the conclusion of lunch and dinner, a bit 'as it does to us with coffee. RICE AND PASTA AS BOUNDARY First courses for excellence, rice and pasta (usually overcooked) are often used as a side dish to accompany the main dishes of meat, fish or vegetables. Custom entirely foreign to Italian cuisine. THE FEAST OF THE SEVEN FISHES According to the American belief, the day of Christmas Eve in Italy would be celebrated the "Feast of the seven fishes", a seven-course dinner of seafood to celebrate one of the most important events. Unknown in Italy, this festival could be likened to the tradition, especially in the South, you want to bring to the table a dish of fish for Christmas dinner. KETCHUP ON PASTA Able to shudder at the thought, ketchup on pasta is used in the United States as a substitute for tomato sauce. SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE The Bolognese sauce is one of the most respected abroad, but the error in this case is the type of pasta chose to accompany him. The tradition is to serve with egg noodles or pappardelle, but is almost never prepared spaghetti. PASTA WITH CHICKEN One of the most curious "distorted traditions" is that of pasta with chicken. Except for a few isolated areas where there are sauces prepared with chicken, in recipes of the Italian tradition, there is nothing like that. CAESAR SALAD unknown Another dish on our plates, the caesar salad has presumably originated from the chef Caesar Cardini, but never arrived in Italy, if not the Mc Donald. A SQUARE TABLECLOTH RED AND WHITE distinctive feature of any self-respecting Italian restaurant abroad, this kind of cloth is among the most used in Italy. Great is the disappointment of tourists in fact not find in any restaurant. FETTUCCINE ALFREDO The disappointment is even greater to see that the fettuccine Alfredo, one of the best known and loved Italian dishes of America, they are not really a traditional recipe. The dish invented by Roman chef Alfredo Di Lelio, consists of noodles topped with sauce of butter, cream and parmesan and it was mainly designed to meet the tastes of tourists. SPAGHETTI WITH MEATBALLS This is not an abomination such as pasta with ketchup, but this combination is not within the traditional recipe. Although some sauces require the presence of meatballs, these are usually very small, while the Americans are great and served with spaghetti, just like in one of the most famous scenes from Disney's "Lady and the Tramp."
