Perhaps some of them are among your favorites.
1. Pizza
Traditional Italian pizza has three simple ingredients: olive oil, tomatoes, and a thick crust. For families with small incomes, it was one of the main dishes, and no one, of course, then thought about how to make it more sophisticated.
The attitude towards pizza has changed thanks to Queen Margaret. She wanted to try a simple dish, and a pizza was made for her with ingredients reminiscent of the colors of the national flag. The Queen was impressed, and the pizza named after her became the hallmark of Italian cuisine.
2. Quinoa
This pseudo-cereal culture was one of the foundations of the diet of the Indians of South America and was considered the food of the poor at the end of the 20th century. In the mid-2000s, its beneficial properties attracted the attention of nutritionists in the West. And then, thanks to nutritionists and Instagram bloggers, it became so popular that it rose in price many times over.
Quinoa is now a fashionable element of a healthy lifestyle. It is added to soups, salads and desserts, and pasta and bread are made from ground grains.
3. Sushi
Poor Japanese fishermen used to eat it. And only not so long ago this dish gained recognition among gourmets and appeared on the menus of the best restaurants in the world. Sushi prices rose significantly in the middle of the 20th century. According to one version, this happened after Japan established relations with other countries and began to attract more tourists.
4. French onion soup
It has been considered the food of the poor for centuries. One legend says that the soup became popular among the nobility when Louis XV decided to cook it with champagne. According to another legend, the Polish king, who was heading to Versailles, really liked the dish. He was so impressed that he learned the recipe from the cook in the inn and brought it to the French monarch.
Anyway, onion soup is now served in most French restaurants and is considered a delicacy.
5. Tiramisu
Many Italian regions vie for the right to call themselves the home of this dessert. Most likely, it was created in the city of Treviso around 1970 and originated from whipped yolks with sugar, which ordinary workers consumed as an "energy drink".
The chefs then complicated the flavor by adding mascarpone, biscuits and coffee. Later, variants with the addition of alcohol appeared. Today, tiramisu has many fans all over the world, and it is one of the culinary symbols of Italy.
6. Salmon
The phrase: "Before, poor Scots had to eat salmon and trout" sounds strange today, but it was. Long ago, this fish was found in abundance in Scottish waters. And now it is a delicacy, it is very expensive and is not considered inferior in gastronomic value to other seafood.
7. Paste
During the Renaissance, pasta with vegetables, cheese and garlic saved poor Italians from hunger. They ate the pasta with their hands because cutlery was not yet available to the common people.
The dish became an integral part of Italian cuisine in the 16th century. And when factories for the production of pasta opened, it did become a national treasure.
