As the Holidays quickly approach us, experts and a study on cultural diversity uncover their thoughts on Italian traditional dishes and the magnitude of cultural diversity to compliment what the students at Michigan State University of different cultural backgrounds eat for Thanksgiving dinner.
Who are the experts?
Salvatore Vorgia, a chef at Da Francesco's Italian restaurant in Shelby Township, MI, and a study on cultural diversity done by Lisa D. Belfield of Kaplan University.
So, what do they say?
Vorgia said that he sees most traditional Italian dishes to be pasta, specifically lasagna. In addition to a main dish, Vorgia also said that the most traditional dessert is Tiramisu.
When asked if there was a common ingredient amongst most traditional Italian dishes, Vorgia said "Ricotta cheese."
A study done on cultural diversity by Lisa D. Belfield of Kaplan University, states that only 80 percent of Americans marked their ethnicity as “white” on the 2009 Census Bureau.
"There are many ethnic groups in the United States, due in large part to its immigrant population; each of these groups contributes to America’s cultural heritage," the study said.
