Bologna is a city in Italy, Emilia-Romagna region, with a population of 388,000 and a rich history. Its origins go back to the 11th century BC. In 189 BC, it became a Roman colony and was renamed Bononia which later became Bologna.
Bologna is the home of the world’s oldest university which was founded in 1088 A.D. (I mean a real university, not a religious school.)
Bologna also has rich culinary tradition and is nicknamed “city of food”. Typical food items from Bologna include:
- tagliatelle, ribbon noodles with eggs
- tortellini, stuffed noodles
- ragù alla bolognese, a sauce with meat and vegetables, eaten with tagliatelle, lasagne or cannelonni
- lasagne verdi alla bolognese, sheet noodles with ragù
- mortadella di Bologna, a sausage
- cotoletta alla bolognese, veal cutlet
- bollito misto, mixed meats and sausages, served with green herb sauce
- zuppa inglese, a kind of custard with sponge cake
- crema di mascarpone, sweetened cream from mascarpone, a kind of ultra-rich cream
Many dishes are called “alla bolognese”, in English “Bologna-style” because they have been invented in Bologna.
