1. Pizza
1:披薩
The modern day pizza's birthplace was Naples, Italy. The original and most popular variety is Margherita, which has only tomato, mozzarella, and basil. These colors represent the Italian flag colors and legend says this pizza was served to Queen Margherita of Savoy. Pizza was a peasant food, yet the Queen loved it and continued to enjoy it despite the backlash she received from others in the royal circle. The pizza was later named after her and is a popular pizza variety served around the world. If you have a chance to sample a Margherita pizza, Naples is definitely the place -- with tomatoes grown in the volcanic ash of nearby Pompeii, the taste is spectacular and unlike pizza I have tried anywhere else in Italy or around the world.
披薩的發源地是意大利的那不勒斯 。最純正,也是最有名的披薩是瑪加列披薩,它的配料只有番茄醬、馬蘇里拉奶酪和羅勒葉 。這三個原料的顏色代表著意大利國旗的三個顏色 。傳說意大利女皇瑪加列曾經要求品嘗這一款披薩,當時,披薩是底層的食物,女皇嘗了后卻很喜歡,不管皇族里其他人的異議,經常吃披薩 。后來這款披薩也就以瑪加列皇后的名字而命名了,慢慢地,瑪加列披薩成為了世界上最受歡迎的一款披薩 。如果你有機會到意大利品嘗瑪加列披薩,那不勒斯絕對是最好的地方,那里的西紅柿是龐培附近的火山灰里長出來的,味道極其特別,意大利別處的西紅柿醬絕對不能和這里的媲美的 。
