    I agree! It’s not as bad in Britain as America. At least in Britain we stick to actual Italian dishes and not add a load of cheese or cream to stuff. When my family comes over from Italy they’ll sometimes say the food is nice but “English Italian” some small restaurants keep it traditional. I remember going to Little Italy with them and they said the food was not very Italian at all. I personally still enjoy some American Italian dishes though and always look forward to it when visiting the States

    Since Italian cuisine varies from region to region, I think Italian Americans who landed in the states had their own traditional recipes. Let's say that there is no Italian cuisine with dishes that are all the same, there are regional cuisines. In Italian American restaurants they have evidently tried to mix the recipes trying to give a unique meaning, but they also "americanized" something.

    I don’t think it’s true, Italian food tastes great but it does not use EVERY ingredient. There are many unique ingredients in other regions of the world. I actually think that Italian being such a popular cuisine, most of Italian ingredients (or substitutes) are easily available in large cities of the world. Indian food has so many unique spices that are some times hard to find outside of India, the same is applicable to other Asian foods too.

    Right, this concept is clear in dialects too. You can see a thing called with a completely different word, like in two villages nearby. The Italian peninsula, before its unity in 1861, was made of dozens of little states. In the previous millennium (and more) it was invaded and occupied by so many different people (from Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe) since the fall of the Roman Empire. And even before, the Empire is the first "Meltin Pot" in history, with the status of "romanity" getting more and more inclusive. Italy has in his DNA the multiethnicity and this is its biggest value, even in cuisine!

    I am from Trapani and I am really glad to see my homeland's food properly made! I just want to add something about Cous Cous and its history: It is a north african's dish but they make it with vegetables! Sicily was part of the Byzantine Empire (it was an Islamic Kingdom from 831 to 1091) and during this period Sicilian culture has been influenced by the Islamic, when they brought the cous cous to my home town Trapani (google it, it is gorgeous!) instead of vegetables we used what we had at that time: fish! Also the sicilian language is a mixture between many languages such as Spanish, Catalan, French and Arabic! Even the word Cassata is from the arabic Quas'at that means bucket :) Most of the Sicilian vocabulary is made of words about food and food tools, so cooking cous cous (that takes a lot of effort!) while speaking Sicilian is like travel back in time :D

    @Pasta Grammar OMGsssss!!!!!!! That first dish is one I had at a real Italian restaurant called Ginocco's, in Rockford, IL, when I was 10, way back in 1978!!!! I always wondered what it was! I got it, because my dad had ordered his and my pizza with anchovies on his side, but the disgusting flavour went all the way onto my side, so my parents had to order me another meal, because I almost threw up from the smell of anchovies. Mom was pissed; she had warned him. Dad was pissed I hated anchovies, but hey, he got the whole pizza, and I got THIS! I don't remember the name "Arancini," but three, slightly smaller than these here, were served with a simple tomato sauce (not eaten without a fork and knife); SO good, I remember them 44 years later! THANK YOU for this memory! Damn. You are making me cry. When we were moving away in 1979, I insisted on the same thing that last day, not knowing, I would never go back. I can make this Vegan, easily. Nevermind the middle dish, with all the dead fish and mollusks; the dessert can be made Vegan as well. The ricotta is the hardest part to imitate, but I WILL do it! You are giving me life this day, when I am in sp much pain. Gratzi, and ciao!

Once again you published another wonderful video and I'm more and more impressed by Eva's knowledge of the Italian food, knowledge of even the less known, regional traditions which maybe only the people strictly from an area know (like the one of the fish mixed together with couscous in Enna, that's certainly very little known by non-Sicilians). Now let me take the opportunity to suggest you to make a video about the food from Campania (my region), not only from Naples, but also from all over the Campania region, which has great food to offer as well!

    You really need to read "Coming Home to Sicily" by Fabrizia Lanza. She grabs you by the heart and tongue and plays with you gastronomically in the best of ways. The book reads like the best, great romananze siciliane and opens doors you would have never explored. It may be the most perfect and passionate Italian cookbook ever written as it brings back all that nostalgia that grasps you!. I reccomend it to anyone serious about food - and even to those who are not. Godi!!!
