The origin of spaghetti, what's the story
In today's era of the merger of Chinese and Western cultures, many people love the food in the eyes of foreigners. For example, Western steak is very hot, Korean cuisine is sweet and spicy, Japanese sushi is "serious", etc. But for the famous Italian staple - pasta, I believe you must not be unfamiliar. And I'm sure you're no stranger to Italy's famous staple food, pasta. Today, Food Tales brings you the story behind pasta.

The origin of pasta is simply said to have originated in China, brought back to Italy by Marco Polo, and then spread throughout Europe.

Some people claim that the Roman Empire, in order to solve the problem of a large population and the difficulty of preserving food, came up with the idea of kneading the flour into a ball, rolling it into a pancake and then cutting it into strips and drying it in the sun, thus inventing the famous delicacy that has lasted through the ages - PASTA (pasta).

The earliest pasta was molded in the 13th and 14th centuries A.D., and is most similar to the pasta we eat in the 21st century. After the Renaissance, pasta varieties and sauces were gradually enriched with art.

The first pasta was kneaded and cut, cut and dried in this way, and eaten together with meats and vegetables in the ___ oven to do, so that in those days, the streets and squares of many cities on the Italian Peninsula were filled with people stretching and drying spaghetti. It was said that the longest spaghetti was 800 meters long. However, because spaghetti was initially a product of coping with food shortages, so the favorites were mostly poor people, but its deliciousness soon made all classes irresistible.

The pasta was quite inconvenient to eat with juice. In the early days, people used their fingers to grab it and licked their fingers clean of the juice after eating it.

During the Middle Ages, some of the upper class felt that this was not a good way to eat, so they invented the dinner fork, which allowed them to roll the pasta into their mouths on the four tines of the fork. The invention of the fork is considered to be a sign of the civilization of the Western diet. In this sense, spaghetti has a lot to do.
