Pasta
is architecture designed for the taste buds. Every single shape
is a brick, different in form, consistency and color, to create
an extraordinary construction, both physical and mental, a true
expression of taste...
In the world of cooking there are around 350 different
types of pasta, and probably approximately four times as many names
for them. New shapes are being designed and named every day. Only
with the mouth is it possible to distinguish between all the types
of pasta, without seeing them. And only with the mouth do they develop
their various characteristics that on sight can often seem to be
similar.
Food is the most ethnic thing one can imagine, therefore
Italians also express their national and regional differences through
the different shapes of their pasta. The following are just a few
of the many pastas available in Italian supermarkets... |
