Tasting Delicious Foods in Italy

The chicken fried noodles had so much flavor, and I had never tasted anything like them before! I hope to try more Sri Lankan food again someday.

How is the food prepared?:

In Italy, people make pizza with love and fresh ingredients. First, they make soft pizza dough and roll it into a flat, round shape. Then, they spread red tomato sauce all over the top. Next, they add white mozzarella cheese and green basil leaves. (Basil is a plant whose leaves add a special smell and flavor.) Finally, they bake the pizza in a very hot oven until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden. When the pizza is ready, it smells and tastes delicious!

Is this food connected to the local environment? How?:

Yes! Pizza is connected to the local environment. The people in Italy use fresh foods that grow nearby, like tomatoes, basil and cheese from local cows. These foods come from Italian farms, so the pizza has the tasty flavors of Italy’s land and sunshine.

Also, Italy is home to a lot of people from Sri Lanka and India. That is why some restaurants here have Sri Lankan or Indian food. If you ever can, try some food from a country you have never heard of before!
