PIZZA

Due to the simple recipe and basic ingredients many countries have their own pizza style but the original pizza comes from Italy, from a region called Campania where we can find the La Coccina restaurant; they are really serious about pizza.

To make the dough they use wheat flour, yeast, water and some salt; no

other ingredient is used. When the dough is ready, they make the sauce; onions are chopped and then fried in olive oil, after that they add good quality Italian tomatoes and some salt, this mix is cooked and when the sauce is cold, they put some of it on the base and the mozzarella cheese is added, this cheese is made in southern Italy, finally the pizza is ready to go in the hot oven where it stays for about ten minutes until the base is golden brown, a few basil leaves are added and a delicious pizza is ready. That was the recipe for the traditional pizza margarita but the restaurant makes many kinds of pizzas for example La Romana with olives and artichoke, pizza al Fungui with mushrooms and garlic, and another pizza made with many vegetables.

Customers can choose how many toppings and how much cheese they want on their pizza and finally when the pizza is ready, it is served with nothing else because pizza is so good they always eat it plain.

MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT

During this interview people are asked about their favorite restaurant or café. One of them described his favorite restaurant as a cheap and friendly place and he likes the fact they serve great Italian food.

Most of them like a bright place with friendly staff, some mentioned the cost of the food but it looks like the type of food they serve is a very important point to make a decision, also, most of them mentioned the convenience of the restaurant being near their residence or their working place.

MOST DISGUSTING OR DELICIOUS FOOD

People were asked to talk about the most delicious or disgusting food they had ever eaten.

Some mentioned food that they didn´t like because of its flavor or the texture of the food but there was one in particular that mentioned a really disgusting (in my opinion) dish. While some mentioned eating cactus, horse, alligator, frog legs as disgusting food, the first one mentioned eating a dish made with sheep guts, intestines and other inside parts of the sheep when he was living in East Africa.

 He described the rubbery sensation while chewing and the fact that he knew what he was eating made that dish really disgusting.

As the most delicious food, they mentioned a Moroccan dish made with honey, apricot, cinnamon, mushroom and raisins, she mentioned the dish was so good she had thirds. The last person described her most delicious dish as one she had in Croatia, she said it was quite expensive trying to say that probably that was the reason for it to be so delicious. One of the guys mentioned fresh figs as his favorite dish.
