Note

The origin of pasta.

One of the legends says that in the 16th century, the owner of a tavern located near Naples prepared different types of noodles for visitors. One day, his daughter was playing with dough by rolling it up into long thin tubes and hanging them on a clothesline. Seeing the "toys", the resourceful owner boiled the tubes, poured them with a special tomato sauce and gave a new dish to the guests. The tavern-goers were delighted. This establishment became a favorite place of the Neapolitans, and its owner, having amassed a decent fortune, invested it in the construction of the world's first factory for the production of unusual products. The name of this successful entrepreneur was Marco Aroni, and the dish, of course, was called "macaroni", comparing the name and surname of the "inventor".

But legends are legends, and the etymology of the modern word "macaroni" remains unclear. Some believe that perhaps the word comes from the Greek makaria, which means "bestowing happiness", blessed (food). Other linguists associate it with the archaic verb tassage - "knead", and the third with the Arabic month "muharram", on the tenth day of which (Ashura is the day of mourning in memory of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, son of Ali, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad) it was accepted to eat chicken noodles.

It is believed that the word "pasta" is derived from the Sicilian dialect - maccarruni, which translates as "processed dough". There is a very popular and unpretentious tale that we owe the word "macaroni" to some nameless cardinal, who, seeing the pasta on his table for the first time, exclaimed: "Ma caroni!" ("How cute!") But, you know, the version is dubious.

One way or another, the word "macaroni" is so firmly established in the everyday life of mankind that no matter where you pronounce it, in Italy or in Turkey, you will certainly be understood.

As Wikipedia says, in thin. In the literature, pasta is first mentioned in The Decameron. How true this is, I do not know. In general, pasta can often be found in thin. literature. And they prepared them for any "taste and color".

"There was also about that time in Florence a young man, an amazing amusement in everything, for whatever he took up, resourceful and pleasant, by the name of Mazo del Saggio, who, having heard something about Calandrino's stupidity, intended to make fun of him by doing with him Having met him one day by chance in the church of San Giovanni and seeing that he was carefully examining the painting and carvings on the board, which had recently been placed over the altar of the said church, he found a place and time convenient for their purpose, warning one of his comrades about what he was planning to do, and both, going up to the place where Calandrino was sitting alone, pretending not to see him, began to discuss the properties of various stones, about which Mazo spoke so thoroughly, as if he were a well-known and great connoisseur of stones. ”Kalandrino put his ears on this conversation and, getting up for some time, seeing that the conversation was not secret, approached them.Mazo, very pleased with this, continued his conversation, when Kalandrino asked him where such wonderful stones were located, Mazo replied that they are mostly found in Berlinzone, in the Basque country, in an area called Live Lakomo, where the vines are tied up with sausages. a goose goes for a penny, and even with a goose to boot; there is a mountain there all of grated parmesan, on which people live and do nothing else as soon as they cook pasta and dumplings, boiled in a decoction of capons and thrown down; whoever catches the most, the more it happens; and nearby there is a stream from Vernaccio, no one has ever drank the best wine, and there is not a drop of water in it. "Oh!" Said Calandrino. "This is such a glorious land! But tell me, where do the capons that they boil go to?" Mazo replied: "Basques eat everyone." Then Calandrino asked: "Have you ever been there?" To this Mazo replied: "You say, have I been? Yes, I was there once, all one, that a thousand." - "How many miles are there?" Calandrino asked then. Mazo replied: "Let there be a thousand or more, sing the night, no more." Calandrino says: "So, it will be away from Abruzzo?" - "Of course, - answered Mazo, - and further away."
The simpleton Calandrino, seeing that Mazo was saying this with a calm face and without laughing, believed how they believe the most obvious truth, and, considering it as real, said: “For me this is too far, but if it were closer, I probably , would have visited there once with you, if only to watch how those pasta, and eat your fill. But tell me - may God send you joy! - is it not found in our countries of any of these such wonderful stones? ""

Boccaccio Giovanni
"Decameron"

“The coffee was served to him as thoroughly, cleanly and deliciously as when he first moved to this apartment a few years ago. Giblets soup pasta with parmesan, kulebyaka, botvinha, their own chickens - all this changed in a strict line to one another and pleasantly diversified the monotonous days of the little house ”.

I. A. Goncharov "Oblomov"
Italians lived badly under the heel of the Blackshirts. But the Germans were even worse. And the Romans joke: "Under Mussolini it was still better ..."
The Germans pumped out all the food from Italy. Italians are known to love pasta. Before they ate white pasta from Kubanka. They quickly wrapped pasta on the fork. And now the pasta on the cards. If you screw it on a fork once, and the plate is empty ... The pasta is now black. Hitler says to the Italians: "Go to the Kuban - pasta grows there." But Italians don't like to fight. They would rather sit at home, work and buy flour. As one Bersaglier said: "Better a Kubanka in Milan than a bullet in the Kuban ..."
