Introduction
When you think of Europe, what comes to mind? Parisian chic? The Alps? Culture and history? All of these things are true, but there’s one thing that’s often overlooked: the food! Let’s take a look at some European countries and their great food, from Spain to Germany.
Italy
There’s a reason Italians have so many nicknames for their country: Italia, la bella Italia and the boot are just a few of them. And there’s another one that you should add to your vocabulary: Italy is known for its delicious food.
Italian cuisine dates back thousands of years and has been influenced by many cultures–from Ancient Rome to the Renaissance to modern day Italy itself. There are countless regional differences in what people eat but some commonalities remain across the country: pasta (in one form or another), olive oil and garlic-based sauces like pesto sauce or tomato sauce over pasta called “pasta e fagioli” (pasta with beans). But if you want more than just a bowl of carbs with some meatballs on top, here are five popular dishes from different regions throughout Italy where you can sample them yourself!
France
French cuisine is as diverse as it is delicious. It’s influenced by many different cultures, including those of France’s former colonies and allies. French food has always been healthy and nutritious–and, like other European countries’ cuisines, it’s high in fiber and low in fat.
