--------------- eat italy --------------- Operation (Figure 17) Eat Up Italy – Tomato Basil Buffalo Gazpacho Salad Finally understand why the Italian flag is red, white and green. Isn’t it? The red of the tomato, the white of the buffalo cheese, the green of the basil leaves—the plump and fleshy red tomatoes are piled up everywhere in the vegetable market, and the taste is soft when they are placed in the freezer and soaked in the salt water in the basin. The tough fresh buffalo cheese, as well as the sweet and fragrant green basil leaves, are all sliced ​​together, topped with excellent freshly pressed olive oil, sprinkled with a little freshly ground black pepper, and sometimes a little vinegar.This dish originated from the province of Campania (Campania), which is rich in tomatoes and limited in production of buffalo cheese in southern Italy. The offshore resort of Capri (Capri) simply called this delicious cold salad "Insalata Capresee". High-end, simple and good, it has become a signature appetizer in restaurants all over the country in Italy, which is enough to represent the delicious spirit of a gluttonous and excellent nation.

Of course, officials and politicians will take the trouble to explain that green represents civil liberties, white represents the hope of independence, and red symbolizes the brotherhood of the nation. The Italian patriotic poet Ungaro in the 19th century believed that looking up and seeing the fluttering tricolor national flag is like seeing the mountains and rivers of the motherland—the mountains are snow-white, the two volcanoes are bright red, and the Lombardy Plain is emerald green. Unexpectedly, Italy, which has always been the leader in the field of international design, has never set a standard color for its national flag, so that the national flags hanging in front of government buildings in different provinces in the southeast and northwest have always freely used different shades of colors, so that some The red became orange, similar to the Irish flag.The Italian government, which is too lazy to be cute, was forced to promulgate the color code of the national flag until the beginning of 2003, and the national "unification" was officially completed.

The three colors of red, white, and green are originally related to the daily satisfaction of the Italian people, and the focus is on whether the color is new or not.
