Italian cooking tradition is about as varied as they come: from north to south, the famous peninsula offers just about everything.
Even the most famous Italian cuisine overseas has a local tradition from somewhere in the Bel Paese.
In fact, you could hardly describe traditional Italian products or cooking as national – much like the Italian people, in fact.
But to celebrate further today’s 150 years of Italian unification, we bring you a gallery of all the best “Italian flag dishes”.
Today is a public holiday in Italy but many people are still working, so you can save these for the weekend, too.
You would be surprised at just how many red, white and green ingredients there are to make these dishes.
A favourite Italian flag dish, as you can see in the gallery, is to use rocket lettuce, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese – staples of the Italian diet, too.
And the original Margherita pizza is also an example of the first homage to the Italian tricolore that is probably documented.
Check them all out below.
