One of the greatest prides of the Italians is their food. The major meal in Italy is eaten in the middle of the day. Large meals always consist of many courses. The Italians may have a pasta course followed by a course of fish or meat. The Italians sometimes have a course called antipasto, which is Italian for appetizers, before they eat their pasta course. The antipasto course may contain a large variety of vegetables and cold meats like prosciutto, which is a ham with spices on it. The antipasto may also consist of salami, olives, and artichoke hearts. The foods of Italy are greatly varied, depending on which region you are in. For example, ribbon-shaped pastas are the most popular in the northern region of Italy. In the southern region of Italy, macaroni with tomato sauce is the most popular and favorite pasta. Risotto, which means rice dish with vegetables, is a first course, as well. Pizza is also a popular food in Italy. Wine is served with every meal other than breakfast. Italians also have desserts after a meal. Fresh fruit is often a dessert. Cakes are most likely the most popular dessert. Cakes include spumoni cake, which is all ice-cream, tiramisu cake, rum cake, cannoli cake, and cheesecake.
