The delicious human creation - the Kings of the Pasta - RAVIOLI
A Rainbow of Colors and a Feast of Flavors!
The history of ravioli is yet another well of stories and myths of delicious human creation - RAVIOLI. The word may derive form the Latin rabiola (a little turnip) whose shape resembles ravioli, or from ravolgere (to wrap) directly suggesting the way ravioli are made. Enjoyed worldwide, but where do ravioli actually come from?
The city of Cremona claims to be the birthplace, competing for this title with Genoa that traces back the etymology of the word back to their dialect word for the pasta, rabiole, which signifies SOMETHING of LITTLE VALUE and, the legend has it, originates from the practice of local sailors who would wrap the leftovers from one meal in a thin sheets of dough to use for another meal and to break the monotony of a sailor's diet.
Lets next time talk - when RAVIOLI were first made..?
