I’m going to tell you 5 things about food you didn’t know yet!

1. Did you know that pizza used to be food for the poor people in Italy? Until King Umberto I and his wife Margherita of Savoy visited Naples and wanted to try the famous pizza. Now you can guess where the name pizza Margherita comes from!

2.The oldest soup in the world consists, among other things, of the ingredients of Hippopotamus and Sparrow. This delicacy dates back to the year 6,000 before our era.

3.In America, they eat in total every day a pizza of 4685 square meters . This equates to about 350 slices per second!

4. Tomatoes are originally from Mexico and not from Italy, as many people think. Probably this confusion is caused by the use of the many tomatoes in Italian dishes, such as pasta or pizza.

5. There are more than 10,000 varieties of apples in the world. If you want to taste them all, you have to eat for more than 27 years!

These were 5 things that you didn’t know.
