Please AndrewMarcio, let us hear about some typical, but unknown Italian specialities! 😋


Ok ok.

A typical dish is Lasagna or Lasagne.
Passatelli in brodo is a dish of Emilia-Romagna, but it's also of Marche and a bit of Umbria.
The Pizza, I suppose it is also widespread in Sweden and Norway.
Pappa al Pomodoro from Tuscany.
Grilled bread with differend condiments that changing depending on region.
I dont' find this on wiki so I posted an image. This is Rocciata, a dolce (dessert) of Umbria and Marche. It is a thin pasta dough based on wheat flour, water and oil, in which a mixture of nuts, sugar, olive oil, raisin and apples is wrapped.
To this base dough, according to the different variations, it is possible to add other components or condiments, such as alchermes, cocoa, dried figs, cinnamon, pine nuts or jam. The roll thus obtained is turned on itself in a spiral, brushed with oil or alchermes, sometimes dusted with sugar, and baked in the oven.
The same basic pasta is also used with the following types of filling: ricotta, sugar and bitter cocoa. Cabbage sautéed in the pan (savory version). Grasses or spinach herbs seasoned with sugar and sultanas (ancient sweet version today in the process of disappearing).

Lumache (Land Snail) I don't have ever eaten and I will never do.
Trippa (tripe) is a fractal used in gastronomy and derived from different parts of the stomach of the bovine. Somebody eat kidneys (Rognone), tongue (Lingua di Vitello alla Milanese) and brain (veal, lamb or pork). Cervello (italian).
In Rome they eat Coda alla vaccinara.

Adding Saltimbocca alla romana.

The name Saltimbocca loosely translates as ‘jump in to the mouth’.
Try it and you know why it's called that:)

And Ossobuco alla milanese.
The name Ossobuco translates as ‘bone with a hole’.

Simple names for very nice Italian dishes:)

You mean pronouncing this?
Ho mangiato ossobuco con sugo di pomodoro
I would pronounce it Hå mandjatå ossobokå cån sugå di påmådårå. Hehe:)
Actually I think all Swedes can pronounce that so an Italian understand it without problem.
If it were not for mangiato. Most will probably pronounce it manghiato.
It's about consonant spelling in front of a wovel were Italian have different rules than we have.
Like many here say Cianti when meaning Chianti wine.

Just spelled the Italian words according to Swedish spelling rules.
Since I did a typo cån that should be kån I tried again with Google Translate.
Hå mandjatå ossobokå kån sugå di påmådårå. now becomes

Oh Andrea. This is funny.
The Italians Brought Us Deep Fried Ice Cream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A7re-BK9bc
The English word Ice Cream is very odd to us living in Sweden, France and Italy.
Here we call it Glass, Glace and Gelato accordingly.

I thought it was the Chinese that gave us fried ice puddings first probably several thousand years ago.

As to English and the wordage of Iced Cream.. It's sugar, maybe egg \ gelatine and mostly cream.. Ergo: Iced Cream..

Gelato I suspect means 'Gelled Milk' which could easily be blancmange or Junket.

Glace means 'Ice' as in glacier.

Neither actually state the primaries together:

Iced (highly cooled) Cream... (and some gelling agents, sugar and flavourings..)

In England the street sellers would tout a 'penny lick' back in ye olde 18 hundreds.

A tiny lick of icy Gelato for a penny... with the added extras of those wild social diseases ;/

Gelato Artigianale in Italy (sold by bar and gelaterie mostly).


What's the Difference Between Ice Cream and Gelato?

Ice cream is a frozen dairy dessert made of milk, cream, sugar, and (typically) egg yolks. Traditionally, French-style ice cream contained egg yolks and was richer than American-style ice cream, which didn't initially contain eggs. However, American ice cream has now evolved to also include the yolks.

Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream, but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs (or no eggs at all). It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser than ice cream.

The texture is also different between ice cream and gelato.
Gelato has a bit of sorbet texture.

As for the Swedish word Glass. It's probably the reason why I get confused.
It's nicked from French.
And especially when it comes to Grädd Glass. Literary translation, Cream Ice Cream...
And why don't the British have an own name for Cream, the liquid on top of fresh milk?
Funny that Cream is called Fløte in Norway but Grädde in Swedish...

And Ice to me is Is:)
