"It's a Big Pizza Pie"- A little piece of Italy

Italian food can be so delicious and so cheap which is why it is such a good option to have. Unlike other foods from countries, Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen but this is not a bad thing. Because there is so many Italian restaurants the prices are forced to drop their prices to stay in the competition, but they do not drop their standard while doing this. This means that you can get high quality but cheap Italian food. Anyways moving on to the most obvious type of Italian food we have pizza, which in itself includes a wide array of options. All the different toppings you can get and the different crusts- thin, thick, cheese filled, garlic, and the list goes on- so no matter what you are craving you can most likely fet it on a pizza. My personal favourite would have to be Hawaiian, which some people find disgusting because who puts pineapple on a pizza? But i find it so yummy.

Another world famous Italian dish is simply pasta, no matter what sauce pasta will always be seen as Italian. It is such an easy meal to create but it is so good that you can impress anyone. It is the perfect meal to eat in college when you need to eat on a budget, and it can be made to anyones requirements, healthy, creamy, plain...you can put almost anything in a pasta dish! They eat pasta because pasta is made using a certain kind of dough that has durum wheat which Italy imports alot. Most of the wheat they imort is used for pasta since it is so largely eaten.

Eating Thai Food

I don't even know where to start writing this blog post because Thai food is like a little piece of heaven on earth for me. I even remember the first time I had this delicious food, it was in a small run down restaurant that mainly did take away. I was at a play with my friend and her parents took us out after for dinner and the rest is history! Or maybe not, as I still love to go to that restaurant. Normally in restaurants the struggle for me is trying to pick what food i would like, but in the Thai restaurant its trying to find the ones I don't. The list is very limited. I have to say the dish that I order most regularly would probably be the Thai chicken red curry, so I guess I could consider this to be my favourite. Another favourite that i founf in Miami was papaya salad. Unfortunatley they do not serve this in my regular Thai restaurant so I had to resort to making it myself! Yet another favourite that I discovered one night when I forced myself to eat something new was Thai beef salad. It sounds quite contradictory- in my mind anyway- but oh my god was it delecious. In do not know how they do but the Thai people seem to get it right everytime!
