Italian Food

There is a lot of different types of foods. In fact there are so many different types of foods that we most likely will not even have had half of these foods in our life time. There is one kind of food that that has stood out amongst all and is eaten in just about every country in this world, and that is Italian food. You are probably thinking that yes, you already knew this but if you look deeper into it, you will be astounded by how much Italian food is used and and eaten every single day.

From pastas, to pizzas, sauces and meats to all sorts of delicious snacks and appetizers and all those herbs that we use daily such as basil, parsley,oregano and garlic, we can see that  Italian food is everywhere. Even if you are not eating Italian food, you are probably using toppings that originate from Italy for more spice to your meal. It is amazing. When you go to ultimately any diner, you will see that they have a section for pastas. You can argue that pasta is one of the most eaten meals in society today. The most standard pasta would be spaghetti or penne, with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. Every single bit of food on that plate is of Italian decent. Moreover, think about all those cheeses that we cherish also like provolone, parmesan and mozzarella, they are everywhere. All those string cheeses we head growing up consisted of mozzarella and all pizzas either consist of mozzarella or parmesan which is also an Italian cheese. Think about how big pizza is in the United States. Everybody eats pizza. I was watching a clip on television about what the average family eats in each country and when it showed the Unites States families, pizza consisted of a huge amount of our daily intake. To add to that, the main topping that is on pizza is usually pepperoni, which is also an Italian meat. Think about how much salami is eaten everyday in sandwiches or any kind of meal of that sort. There is also pancetta which is an Italian bacon used for flavor on many dishes and there is also prosciutto which is a very common meat. Furthermore, how much marinara sauce is used everyday. Marinara is just as big as ranch or bigger. Also we use spices daily to make our foods stand out and be more delicious. Parsley, garlic and basil are some of the most popular herbs in the world.

Take a look at what you are eating next time and see if there is anything that resembles Italian descent on it. As you probably now can see, Italian food dominates us consumers. It is just one of those foods that can be used in so many instances.
