Grilled Pizza And Lots Of Wine
It’s incredible how such a simple food, like Pizza, can make all the difference in the blessed hours of rest and relaxation. Pizza is so well-liked by so many, that you would think it’s been around forever! In fact, there have been different forms of this appetizing dough dish as far back as the ancient times of Babylonia, Greece, Egypt, and on it goes. Many of these ancient food recipes were much like our own; these flat-bred meals were often garnished with tomatoes, cheese, oil, anchovies, and garlic. Amazing, right?! What’s more, the tomato which makes up much of the superb flavoring was only introduced to the New World in the 1500s. In those times, tomatoes were looked on with caution, thought of as a poisonous food but one which the poor learned to embrace some years later. In fact, the beloved tomato wasn’t even used in North American dishes until the early 18th century. Perhaps then, it isn’t so surprising that the first-ever Pizzeria shop in New York City didn’t surface until 1905. What’s just as amazing is how the Pizza dish maintained its original ingredients throughout the years and yet remains wonderfully versatile to those who like to play with the recipe a bit, and see what other flavors might be added.
