Blos session 7, Pizza time!

Hi friends, today I’m going to talk about my favourite food, PIZZA! I really think this is one of the most perfect meals in the whole world.

The origin of the pizza is in Greek. The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese.  An urban legend says Pizza Margherita, was invented in 1889, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte commisoned to Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.

In a personal opinion, I really like pizza because you can cook it with a lot of different ingredients, and give varied flavours. When I cook a pizza I tried to equilibrate all the flavours, trying to make perfect matches, like bacon and onion or pepperoni and mozzarella, but in my life experience all the classic topics are the best.

Some scientific studies reveal that the antioxidant Lycopene, which exist in tomato product normally used on Pizza, as having a beneficial health effects. Studies says the people who eat pizza at least one time in the week, have less chance to developing mouth, esophagus, throat or colon cancer.

In Latin-America, Brazil is the country who eats more pizza, having 6000 pizza establishments and 1.4 million pizzas are consumed daily, and that was because a lot of Italian immigrant arrives there, and until the 50’s you can only find pizza in the Italian communities.
