Imagine what would've happened if Colombus didn't come and start the process of colonization. Italian food as we know it wouldn't even exist. In case, you don't know it. Tomatoes are native to South America. They, among other things, were brought to Europe and a revolution in food started.
There isn't much said about Italian cuisine from before the voyages. The fact is the change was so great that it erased a lot of the old plates and other customs in favor of new flavors and recipes. And that a true miracle for all the hungry people like myself.
What I'm trying to say is that pizza is another form of history. It brings together some of the best things humanity has had produced in terms of food and puts them on a plate that is in essence something to share.
This gets me a step closer to write my Ode to Pizza.
Next time we make some pies at home, I'll be ready for it.
La Pizza es Historia
¿Se imaginan un mundo en el que Colón no hubiese venido a estas tierras y empezado el proceso de colonización? La comida italiana no sería la misma. En caso, de que no lo sepas, los tomates son nativos de Suramérica. Estos, junto a otras cosas de estas tierras, iniciaron una revolución culinaria en Europa.
No hay mucho que sobreviva de la cocina italiana antes de los tomates. Tan drástico ha sido el cambio que muchos de esos platos fueron modificados y otros simplemente desaparecieron en favor de otras recetas y sabores. Y eso es un milagro para la gente con hambre como yo.
Lo que intento decir es que la pizza es historia. Reúne muchas de las mejores cossas creadas por la humanidad y las pone en un plato. Un plato que es en esencia algo para compartir.
Esto me deja más cerca de escribir mi Oda a la Pizza.
La próxima vez que hagamos algunas en casa, la tendré lista.
