Great, let's get started. So, first I tell you about mines:
MEXICAN, COLOMBIAN AND ITALIAN FOOD:
Mexican cuisine is known for its succulence and great variety. Its origins date back to the pre-Hispanic period, when a large number of dishes revolved around corn, along with other ingredients such as: chiles, beans, pumpkins, avocado, tomato, cocoa, nopal, rabbit meat, armadillo and turkey.
With the arrival of the Spaniards there was also a crossbreeding in the gastronomy and the pre-Columbian dishes were enriched with the introduction of fruits, sugar, oil, cereals such as wheat, spices such as oregano and black pepper, cattle, sheep, chickens, pigs, milk and rice, among others.
Thus were born the dishes that have given worldwide fame to Mexican Gastronomy such as: mole, chiles en nogada, sopa de lima, cochinita pibil, carnitas and the famous tacos, among others.
TACOS: It’s a very popular culinary preparation in Mexico that consists of a tortilla, usually corn, which is folded to contain various ingredients and some kind of sauce inside. It is the most representative snack of Mexican cuisine and can be found in all parts of the country and in Mexican restaurants around the world.
They can have different ingredients and there are several presentations. Such as golden tacos or tacos de canasta and they vary according to their preparation.
Colombia does not have a national dish.
Nature has blessed Colombians with a fertile country: fish, bananas on the coast; an amazing variety of tropical fruits, coffee, chocolate and dairy products in the mountains; cheap, fresh vegetables and meats everywhere. The majority cuisine gives primacy to lightly seasoned dishes, without spices or spicy, without garnishes or copious garnishes; in short, prepared with simplicity.
Among the most representative regional dishes are ajiaco santafereño, bandeja paisa, mote de queso, lechona tolimense, mamona or ternera a la llanera, mute santandereano, tamales and fish, especially in the coastal regions.
AREPAS: The arepa is a food of pre-Columbian origin, made from ground dry corn dough or precooked corn flour, circular and flattened in shape. It is known under this name in Bolivia, Colombia and Venezuela, and is traditionally consumed in the gastronomies of these countries.
Italy's gastronomy is one of the most varied in the world, its cuisines reflect this great cultural variety in its regions as well as the diversity of its history. Italian cuisine is included within the so-called Mediterranean gastronomies and is both imitated and practiced all over the world.
Italian cuisine is characterized by its elaborations with abundant vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, rice, pasta and breads. Other typical dishes, besides pizza and pasta, are risotto, lasagna and carpaccio.
Pasta is a set of foods prepared with a dough whose basic ingredient is semolina, mixed with water, and to which salt, egg or other ingredients can be added, forming a product that is generally cooked in boiling water.
