1. Pizza
1:披萨
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.
披萨的发源地是意大利的那不勒斯 。最纯正,也是最有名的披萨是玛加列披萨,它的配料只有番茄酱、马苏里拉奶酪和罗勒叶 。这三个原料的颜色代表着意大利国旗的三个颜色 。传说意大利女皇玛加列曾经要求品尝这一款披萨,当时,披萨是底层的食物,女皇尝了后却很喜欢,不管皇族里其他人的异议,经常吃披萨 。后来这款披萨也就以玛加列皇后的名字而命名了,慢慢地,玛加列披萨成为了世界上最受欢迎的一款披萨 。如果你有机会到意大利品尝玛加列披萨,那不勒斯绝对是最好的地方,那里的西红柿是庞培附近的火山灰里长出来的,味道极其特别,意大利别处的西红柿酱绝对不能和这里的媲美的 。
