I know that the New World discovery was followed by significant changes and introduction of tomatos, bell pepperts, maize, sugar beet and potatoes.
It is. Tomatoes and other vegetables were introduced to the area in the 18th century. The climate is perfect for growing them.
I really like Italian cuisine. Its very diverse. I agree, this cuisine has a regional diversity and is known for it I would really like to go to Italy for authentic Italian food. That would be very nice. Cooks from italy rely a lot on the ingredients quality rather then their quantity Im so jealous. Is there a main ingredient in Italian food? I am not sure about a main ingrediente, but I know that pasta, olive oil, fish and vegetables are a big part of the cuisine from italy That all sounds fantastic. What kind of dishes should I try out? I am not sure how to answer that. Did you know that naples' cuisine took a lot from traditions of the campania region ? Nice to know that. What else do you know?
