FOODS THAT DO NOT EXIST IN ITALY
- Italian Food does not Exist – "There is no such thing as Italian food, rather there are regional foods found in Italy which reflect the Italian history and culture of the regions. However, many people are unaware of this until they travel to Italy and wonder why they are eating food in Sicily packed with heat and chilies, while in the north they are eating food cooked with cream and butter rather than with olive oil, with no chilies to be seen. It all comes down to history which helped shape the Italian food culture." – Source: The Travel Italy Grapevine – "Your Food, Culture and Travel Guide"
