When in Rome eat as the romans do…

Even though the old “adagio” goes: “when in Rome eat as the romans do”, do not expect anymore to find them eating amatriciana & carbonara every day.

Despite the recent right-wing party success at the national and municipal election held in April and the consequent raising sentiments of intollerance directed to immigrants and clandestines, the Eternal City is little by little being conquered by new culinary tendences represented by an unexpected appetite for Indian, Japanese and Middle East cuisine.

Habits that belongs mostly to more tollerant and open minded habitants as those living in cosmopolitan cities as London and Paris that have funded their success by investing on the cultural diversity of their citizens.

Sushi, Kebab and Tandoori are now getting mainstream, perhaps not for the majority of romans that keep eating their “cacio & pepe”, but certainly for a increasing minority of people who, for curiosity, interest or even emulation, are having a try of these non traditional dishes.

Personally I can say that for me is a question of survival: I’m quite sick and tired of eating pasta every day of my life. So I am quickly abandoning everyday’s Italian cuisine in favor of a diet made of, once a week, sushi, kebab or felafel, noodles or chicken tandoori.

I love them all but my favorite cusine is Indian cuisine and Kerala’s one in particular.
Frankly if I could reborn I’d like to be born Indian.
