A Virtual Menu On Some Of The Best Italian Food

By Ryan Graham


Anyone would be hard put to find a particular cuisine that appeals to everyone the whole world over. From places as far ranging from the United States to Singapore, you will be able to find a variation or imitation of this fare. Then, even when youre in the confines of the central and southwest US, you will still have a smorgasbord of the best italian food colorado springs.

Italian food is an umbrella term that covers different kinds of ways and means. That much is comprehensible since Italy became a unified country only at the start of the nineteenth century. Therefore, there are naturally divergent singularities with different regions and provinces. For instance, Roman cuisine is an altogether distinguishable breed from Neapolitan, Sicilian, and Florentine.

Chefs and other food experts concur on the fact, however, that a common characteristic of Italian cooking, on the whole, is its simplicity. In point of fact, the quintessential commonality in the classic dishes is that they have no more than four central ingredients. Elaborate preparation is most often a mark of ineptitude than skill in that part of the world. Also, one of the great deals of this class of cuisine is that the servings are mostly local and fresh, a direct farm to the table experience.

The ingredients common in this cuisine range from rice staples like pasta, then sauces, meats, fruits, and vegetables. There are also fish, corn, sausages, and different types of cheeses. These are, in the main, the common parts and parcels in local, time honored specialties.

If you are asked to name a classic comestible from Italy on the dot, youd most likely think of pizza. And just as well. The most popular types back in the country of provenance are the Neapolitan and the Roman. The marked distinction is that the first has a fluffy, thick crust. The second has a relatively thin one.

For the just as classical pasta, you can go for a Spaghetti alla Carbonara. This dish is made from eggs, pork, cheek, black pepper and pecorino cheese. There is also the Bolognese Lasagna, made through alternating layers of pasta sheets, sauce, meats, and cheese. Another cheese delight you should look out for is the Burrata, which is made from cow milk, fresh cream, and mozzarella cheese.

Focaccia is Italys most popular type of bread. It is fresh dough with toppings of caramelized onions, olives, tomatoes, basil leaves, and parmesan cheese. Panzanella is another doughy comestible usually served with tomato salad. Moving on, if Spain has paella, then Italy has Risotto. The a la Milanese variation is often served with its duo the Ossobuco, which is a cross cut veal shank braised with vegetables and white wine. For your luxurious steak, look no further than Fiorentina, which is made from the choicest Chianina cattle.

The sixth course of the meal, the Dolce, shouldnt be forgotten. There is the classic gelato that is as different as can be from your typical ice cream. It has less fat, water, and air. Instead, its a flavorful bonanza that will leave you wanting more. Theres the tiramisu, made from mascarpone and high grade coffee. The second to the last course, the caffe, also must be forgone. Espresso and ristretto should be among your picks. The milky kinds, like cappuccinos, are not taken with meals but are mainly for breakfast. The last course is for digestives like wine and liquors.

It is very telling and worthy of note that in this hyper globalized world, you can find a bit of every culture even in places where you dont expect them to be. You dont have to be in Italy or an Italian to enjoy its exemplary cuisine. As the proverb goes, in Rome, do as the Romans do. In Colorado Spring, everything down to the food will have to do as the Coloradans do.
