    The biggest problem of any restaurant that aspires to offer true Italian cuisine, wherever it is in the world, is that they always choose to adapt to local tastes rather than do a work of culinary culture. Every type of cuisine must be understood in order to be appreciated, it is necessary to educate the palat if you really want to explore and enjoy food. There is a reason why pasta has to be cooked al dente or why less seasoning is better, why a fried food has not to be covered with sauce, etc. In the same way we should talk about raw materials and how an alchemy is used to get the best out of each one. Culture, story and education. Without this approach you will never find a superb Italian or Spanish or Japanese or Turkish or any other country restaurant.

      It is understandable and it is done for evry cuisine everywhere. It has economic reason( if you mesh the foreing cuisine with the loca one the taste will be better received by locals, that are your main customers).
      Even in Italy if you go, fo example, to a japanese restaurant, even an high quality one, you will find things like Uramaki that do not exist in Japan or gunkan withouth the seaweed, whreas original gunkan always has seaweed

      @@valeriomartino1638 It is definitely understandable. Nonetheless there are cases where this doesn't happen. Let's stay on the Italian cuisine in New York: there are great authentic Italian restaurants here, that I've personally tried. They would be adequate to an Italian market or even be considered of high level and they've been doing great for years here in the city. I could say the same for any other major cuisine present in the city: there are restaurants that maintain the original authenticity and perform great on the market.

      Nel tuo caso hai mescolato tutto e hai poi avvolto il tutto nella carne. In realtà gli ingredienti si mettono un po' per volta singolarmente dentro ogni involtino - tranne l'uovo (quello è abolito!).
      La carne usata in genere è di manzo o cavallo (a casa mia usiamo quest'ultima - molto saporita). Molto tempo viene portato via dalla cottura all'interno del sugo, poiché oltre a far cuocere gli involtini la stessa passata deve prendere il sapore della carne.
      Considera che il sugo viene non solo servito sugli involtini, ma è adoperato anche sul piatto di pasta servito per primo (in genere sono orecchiette).

      There were reasons for that. A lot had to do with poverty. No access to better ingredients, having to make a single deliberately highly caloric family meal to keep the family fed, with the other meals skipped or prioritized less, with restaurants very few of the immigrants having been food professionals before moving, etc. Other changes were admittedly what American patrons liked the most as well.

    Actually the place a lot Italians got things from was Manganeros grocieria. It was started in the 20s expanding a bit into a small cafe next door. It was like super old school like wood floors and antique cash registers. They tried fusing old and new. The food was a mix of the old but adding slight American style. Like the meatballs are super old Italy but added on top of pasta which was a new thing back in the day. Their lasagna was void of sauce until they ladle it on top. It’s very old world but with a 1920s flair. It shut a few years ago due a bad argument between the two owner brothers something about adding a sandwich shop across the street or something. Anyway everyone loved that place as you felt like it was another home. Now it really hard to find decent Italian stores that serve exclusively the Italian community in Manhattan.

    Per quanto riguarda le braciole ti parlo da napoletano. Solitamente le braciole vengono servite e cotte con il sugo del ragù (che ovviamente è una tipica cosa napoletana come certo saprai). La braciola consiste in carne di manzo avvolta con lo stesso filo con cui si chiude il salame (così lo preparano i macellai solitamente) oppure sono chiuse con gli stuzzicadenti. Per farla breve una braciola consiste in carne di manzo bollita in un sugo preferibilmente il ragù a mio avviso è che sia speziata. Varianti della braciola classica sono quelle che ad esempio con la provola e i friarielli (sempre messi nella braciola). La provola in quel caso deve perdere acqua quindi si mette a "scolare" finché si asciuga sennò si a guasta il ragù. I friarielli infine hanno una storia particolare in quanto nati specificatamente a Napoli e nello specifico sulle colline di Materdei, quartiere che si trova tra la sanità e il Vomero. È proprio per questa ragione che si fa la "festa del friariello" ogni anno a Materdei. I friarielli sono simili agli spinaci ma di un sapore e una consistenza tanto diverse. È un classico la pizza salsiccia e friarielli ad esempio. Non mi dilungo. Ciaooooo ;)

    Funny thing is vodka sauce likely came from Italy which makes it really odd as Italians don't tend to cook with heavy cream at all. That, plus if you sauce at a native Italian level with vodka sauce it tends to dry out so it always requires a bit more than what is typical for almost anything else. It got popular there in the 80s, then super unpopular and stayed popular in a lot of other places. I think the only function of the vodka in the sauce is to act as an emulsifier for the fats. There was another dish as well I can't remember which was super popular here in the 80s with sun dried tomatoes that disappeared when they stopped using real sun dried and started using horrible machine air dried tomatoes. As far as the chicken parmigiana, if that's made properly the breading should retain texture. That place used too much sauce for everything.

    You Went To Little Italy In The Bronx I Assume, Which Is Not To Be Confused With Little Italy In Manhattan Which Is A Shadow Of What It Once Was. Brooklyn Is Far More Diverse And Has A Greater Selection Of Italian Restaurants, Pizzerias And Delis In New York City. Mary Jane You Should Expand Your Field Of Exploration To Include Brooklyn.
    In Italian "Italian" Cuisine Portions Are Smaller, Courses Are Prioritized And Meats And Fish Are Separated From The Posta. To Me American Italian Food Is A Conglomeration Of The Italian Foods From All The Different Regions! I Am A First Generation Southern Italian American And My Mom Was A Fantastic Cook And Baker. I Was Blessed To Be What I Am And To Live In A City Of Such Diverse Itnesity. Mary Jane Keep Up The Good Work!

    Love your videos, Mary Jane. Though I must confess that in Bologna also we do have cutlets with some “liquid things” on top, that is cotoletta alla bolognese, which is basically a traditional deep-fried breaded pork cutlet, then sautéed with some parmesan and Parma ham slice on top of it, and half ladle of broth to make all the ingredients melt. ;D Sounds quite odd? In fact it sounds weird also for many Italians (and for me who I'm local), it's by far the most famous second course we have in Bologna. :)

    Back in the 60s & 70s, I ate at Giambone's... A LOT. The last Italian restaurant on Mulberry below Canal Street, it closed in 2003 after a successful 90-year run. According to the write-up in the NYT, it succumbed to a sluggish economy. But it was quite good. Probably not authentic in many respects, having adapted to the tastes of Americans over the decades, but good all the same! My favorites were the veal marsala, osso bucco, and sweetbreads.

    I think chicken parmigiana can be considered a mix of two original Italian dishes: eggplants parmigiana and veal Milanese. For what I’ve been told, once Italian immigrants from southern Italy arrived in America they started to change their traditional eggplants parmigiana recipe by substituting eggplants (which were not so common in the New World) with chicken breast (a product which was much more expensive in Italy). Veal Milanese, on the other way, was a traditional dish from Milan, northern Italy. However, the original recipe is made with veal rib chops, not chicken breast

  • @lucamenegotto1139
    @lucamenegotto1139 2 роки тому +7

    Yes, I'm italian and yes, italian is the best cuisine in the world! (just kidding, if you know Italy you know that 'italian cuisine' doesn't exist; there are hundreds of regional and local cuisines).
    Now, about the chicken. I know that in Italy we have 'scaloppine di vitello alla pizzaiola': a slice of veal, a little of tomato, a little of mozzarella on top and a pinch of oregano. Since I don't like veal that much, I usually replace it with a thin slice of chicken breast.
    So, yes, we have something like that.
    The difference: the chicken (or veal) is neither breaded nor fried (hint: oven is your friend...).

    I think anywhere that you bring some food elements to your own country. It usually gets spun with some of your country's flair. No matter where it is. Chinese american and mexican american food are all different as well. It's like if you see a BBQ place in another country. It looks different, and probably not done as well. Getting some memphis/carolina, or other good southern ribs, won't be beat anywhere else in the world.

    Chicken parm is an Italian immigrant ("diaspora") version from 1950's of the native eggplant parm except it's usually just mozzarella and very little expensive Parm Regg. Some experts say it is actually based on the words paligiana ("layers" or "louvers" of eggpalnd) or parmiciana ("Persian") and has nothing to do the Parmesan cheese.
