The Assignment

10 of 55

Select a traditional food dish from a country in Europe using the Taste Atlas website: https://www.tasteatlas.com/search.
If the Taste Atlas does not have a recipe for the dish you select, then you will need to use the internet to find a traditional recipe for the dish.
The recipe must have a minimum of six food items you can research for its origin.
Review the Pizza example from Italy.
Complete the blank chart with the Columbian Exchange question. The chart can be found after the Pizza example.
You can create your own chart, especially if you want to research more than six ingredients.

Can the recipe be made without the Columbian Exchange?

A Brief History of Pizza and Tomatoes Used as Pizza Sauce

The pizza we all know today, made with tomato sauce, cheese, and numerous toppings, originated in Italy. It became popular in Naples in the 18th century as a cheap, nourishing food that was consumed mainly by peasants. The modern pizza as we know it today evolved from early Neapolitan flatbreads topped with lard, salt, and garlic.

No one knows when or why the tomato first began being used in the preparation of pizza, but it is known that they were first recorded in Italy in 1544. While most Europeans initially disparaged them as poisonous, the southern Italians embraced them, giving them the name pomi d’oro (golden apples).

Although some say that tomatoes have been used on pizza marinara since 1734, others claim that they were not used until the early 19th century. The Italians credit Raffaele Esposito of Pizzeria Brandi as having invented the first modern pizza in 1889.

If the Columbian Exchange had not occurred, then how would this food dish be different?�The pizza would not have tomatoes on it, because tomatoes are from the New World, specifically the Andes region of South America.
