The origins of spaghetti
It is said that the spaghetti were introduced 718 years ago
in Italy by Marco Polo after returning from his trip from
China in 1295.
The spaghetti is a type of pasta shaped like long thin
strings of circular section.
People usually buy spaghetti prepared but in Italy it is
made by hand, from the ingredients flour, salt, water and
egg. When the dough is made you use a machine to make
the form, then boil it and you can put salsa on it.
Today a lot of people like spaghetti.

Macaroni and cheese According to legend, macaroni were brought to Italy by Marco
Polo, when he returned in 1292 to Venice from his trip to China.
This hypothesis has been refuted, since it seems that the
macaroni was already used in Italy, at least a century before.
Macaroni are a kind of pasta made from water, flour and,
sometimes, egg which usually takes the form of elongated tube.
Macaroni are usually medium sized, almost longer than thick.
In their preparation at home, the cheese is usually prepared like
a Mornay sauce, with butter and cheese cooked in a roux. The
final texture of this cheese sauce should resemble a cream.

The food that I want to write on is the “taco”.
Mexicans made the first taco. It’s like an omelet;
you can fill it with meat like steak, sausages…
It is round but you roll it to eat. You can eat it with
your hands and it’s usually accompanied with green
sauce or cocktail sauce.
Today it is expanded world-wide. The origin is
Mexican taco.

oRIGINS OF FOOD
It may have originated as a variation of another layered
dessert, Zuppa Inglese.
Other sources report the creation of the cake to have
originated in the city of Siena.
Alternatively, accounts by Carminantonio Iannaccone and
Nathan Lopez (as researched and written about by The
Washington Post) establish the creation of Tiramisu by him
on 24 December 1969 in Via Sottotreviso while he was head
chef at Treviso, near Venice.
The translation of the name Italian tiramisu means "pick-me-
up".

The chef Luisen Oliver made the first Russian salad, Luisen Oliver
was from Moscow. Russian salad came from Russia because the
first Russian salad was made in Russia.
The first Russian salad had potatoes, vegetables, tuna and chicken.

RISOTTO
Risotto is a class of Italian rice with an interesting history.
It's healthy and can be prepared in lots of different ways.
This delicious dish can be prepared with many ingredients,
for example butter, wine and onion.
The story of risotto began with the Arabs. They brought rice
to Sicily and Spain. Italy was a perfect place to grow rice
because the weather was humid.
Valerious is probably the creator of risotto. In 1574 he
added an ingredient called saffron to the rice.
One of Italy's most famous dishes is Risotto alla Milanese.
In Po Valley, where lots of Italian rice grows, risotto usually
is preferred with pasta. In Venice and Veneto, they eat
risotto with eels as a traditional Christmas meal.

TARTIFLETTE
My favorite food is “Tartiflette”. It was a dish from a French
region named “Haute Savoie”. It was invented in the early
80's to promote the sale and meant “potato”.
Tartiflette was made with potatoes, reblochon cheese,
diced turkey and onions. Some people prepared the dish
by replacing diced turkey with smoked salmon or ham of
turkey.
It was cooked in an oven and it was browned.

The origins of “migas”
My favourite food is “migas”. It is a traditional
dish in the centre and in the south of “Peninsula
Iberica”. “Migas” was a humble food. The
shepherds made this food with the hard bread of
the yesterday. The first “migas” was made 2000
years before Christ. To make this you need hard
bread, garlic, salt, water and oil. My grandma
cooks “migas” with hard bread, garlic, salt, water,
oil, fried egg, chocolate and fruit. It is delicious!

THE ORIGINS OF SOUP My favourite food is soup. This food is made with water and
other ingredients as pasta, chicken, vegetables, fish...
The soup was cooked since the Neolithic, and is probably
the oldest cooked food in all times.
The word "soup" originally means "water with bread”, and the first soup dishes were hot water with breaking bread.
Today there are even tetra briks soups, there are many
types of them, and it is possible to buy in all the supermarkets.
I like the chicken soup of Mercadona. It is delicious.
