　　美食篇之披萨 pizza

　　推荐理由：

　　The modern day pizza's birthplace was Naples, Italy. The original and most popular variety is Margherita, which has only tomato, mozzarella, and basil. These colors represent the Italian flag colors and legend says this pizza was served to Queen Margherita of Savoy. So the pizza was later named after her. If you have a chance to sample a Margherita pizza, Naples is definitely the place -- with tomatoes grown in the volcanic ash of nearby Pompeii, the taste is spectacular and unlike pizza I have tried anywhere else in Italy or around the world.

　　披萨的发源地是意大利的那不勒斯。最纯正，也是最有名的披萨是玛加列披萨，它的配料只有番茄酱、马苏里拉奶酪和罗勒叶。这三个原料的颜色代表着意大利国旗的三个颜色。传说意大利女皇玛加列曾经要求品尝这一款披萨。后来这款披萨也就以玛加列皇后的名字而命名了。如果你有机会到意大利品尝玛加列披萨，那不勒斯绝对是最好的地方，那里的西红柿是庞培附近的火山灰里长出来的，味道极其特别，意大利别处的西红柿酱绝对不能和这里的媲美的。

　　美食篇之撒丁岛意大利面 Spaghetti

　　推荐理由：

　　Mention Sardinia to any mainland-dwelling Italian, and they'll swoon the second the name leaves your lips. To say that Sardinia has captured the imagination of Italians from the tip to the top of the boot would almost be an understatement. And just from a few bites of malloreddus alla Campidanese- the unctuous sausage, the chewy pasta, the tangy tomatoes and the hint of saffron poking through on my palate, it's easy to see why.

　　在向意大利大陆居民提起撒丁岛时，在这个名字脱口而出时，他们就会心旷神怡。就算说撒丁岛集中了全意大利人的想象力也不为过。吃上几口撒丁岛意面—它有滑爽的香肠，耐嚼的面条，香味浓郁的西红柿还有批人心脾的藏红花。您就很容易明白个中缘由了。
