What are the three famous dishes of western food?
The three famous western dishes are French snails, paella and pasta.

French snail

The tradition that Europeans like to eat snails originated in ancient Rome. The use of snails by Europeans can be traced back to the 4th century, that is, the late Roman Empire. At that time, the Romans already knew how to raise snails artificially with vegetables and leaves, fatten them up, fry them, and then dip them in the juice soaked in fish. The French carry forward this delicious food and make snail dishes in many ways: French baked snails, onion fried snails, stewed snails, court fried snails and so on. It is said that you can eat more than 300 million snails a year.

Paella

Paella, the English name of paella, originated from Valencia, the capital of fish and rice in Spain, and is a kind of rice food with Spanish rice as raw material. As a matter of fact, it is a large round double-ear pot with a flat bottom and a shallow mouth, and its depth is usually less than five centimeters. There is a saying about the origin of this delicious food: Columbus was hit by a hurricane while sailing and fled to an island. The local people saved his life with seafood chowder. After the Spanish king knew about it, another chef copied it, and it became a national dish from then on! Authentic paella includes a large number of shrimps, crabs, black clams, clams, oysters, squid and the precious spice saffron.

spaghetti

Compared with the above two kinds of food, the popularity of pasta in China is far ahead, and its price is more affordable. As for the origin of spaghetti, some people say that it originated in ancient Rome, while others say that it was spread to Europe from China via Sicily by Kelpolo. There are two sauces for pasta: red sauce and white sauce. Red sauce is based on tomatoes, while white sauce is based on flour, milk and cream. The most authentic spaghetti gives people in China the impression that it is undercooked, and it feels a bit hard to bite.
