The Italian food

My favorite food is Italian food. Basically we can say it consisted of spaghetti and pizza. They are not only show up in Italy but also popular in US. Italian food is considered inexpensive, family oriented and convenient. The Italian food culture has influenced the American way of making food. Ingredients are potato sauce, flour and olive oil. People suppose to prepare these stuffs before they made Italian foods. However, American already tried to use these ingredients for another kind of food which means Italian food culture completely mix with American food culture.

The sociological imagination means we can discover radically different ways of experiencing life and interpreting reality.
