Hello, I’ve just found this blog whilst searching around the Internet as I am looking for some info on wall ovens!. It’s a very interesting site so I have bookmarked this site and intend to revisit you tomorrow to give it a better read when I’ll more free time.

I got the inspiration for my website from Italian food served all over the world…often pretty different from the original one!
Your salad was even rich…try to ask for a green salad in Italy, or a mixed one. It comes in a small dish and often it has only lettuce.
What about tiramisu? The real one (http://www.all-about-italian-food.com/italian-tiramisu-recipe.html) does not have whipped cream at all!
All these differences happen because people try to adapt the original recipes to local ingredients and tastes.
You talk about Italian dressing…in Italy it doesn’t exist! Here the n°1 dressing is extra virgin olive oil. Then comes balsamic vinegar and salt. But there are no dressings in any restaurant you may visit.
