Italian pizza was first made when tomatoes were brought back form the new world in the 16th century. The tomatoes were crushed onto foccacia bread and sprinkled with herbs. Not long after that, water buffalo were brought back from India and the Italians began making...

On every street corner there is some food vendor - some have pushcarts, some have shops, some have motorbikes with attached food trolleys, some just put a blanket on the street and sell food that way.

Sometimes you can get raw meat or shrims - I wouldn't eat this if I'm not absolutely sure that this is clean and fresh. Thai people love to enjoy...

The region has a common border with the formerly Soviet nation of Yugoslavia, and has a lot of customs and traditions (including culinary) in common. The Italian food from this region has a strong Austrian, Hungarian, Croatian...
