History of Italian Food
The land that comes under Italy expands over a relatively large area.
This is one of the reasons why we find so much variance between the
cuisines of different regions of Italy. Some attempts were made to unify
the cuisine of Italy in 1861 but a large amount of differences still
remain. The culinary treasure chest of Italy has been influenced by a
host of different cultures such as the Roman, Greek, German, Gallic,
Slavic, Arab, Turkish, and Chinese along with others. Actually you will
find that there is no such thing as one formalized set of foods that can
be referred to as the authentic Italian cuisine.
