Where do our favourite foods come from? The truth may surprise you. Did you know curry isn’t Indian? Did you know Americans weren’t the first to eat hamburgers? Or did you know pizza wasn’t created in Italy?
First, let’s talk about curry. Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600 s. But in reality, wealthy English people were cooking with curry spices hundreds of years before British ships traveled to India. In fact, the word " curry" can be found in the English language as far back as 1377. Cooks of wealthy English families created curry dishes, and later these dishes caught on in other parts of England.
As for Pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were eating round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s—nearly one thousand years before pizza caught on in Naples, Italy!
Finally, let’s look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an American food. However, according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. A German named Otto Kuasw made the first hamburger in 1891. Four years later, German sailors introduced hamburgers to Americans.
Where foods come from isn’t nearly as important as how they taste delicious J So, go get some of your favourite food and dig in.
