Common dishes

Deliza Del Lago Origin

Deliza del Lagooriginated in Campo D'Uva and was a harty dish made to feed the farmers in rural counties in Southern Montepresca, as the farmers wanted to have a heavy, filling meal to have energy to work longer hours. Some state that the dish took its name from Lake Canelazzo, as the name means Delight of the Lake in Italian, with the i in delizia omitted due to dialectical changes in Montepresca over many years. Others, however, claim that the name was based on the many lakes adjacent to Fiume Fico, or Fico River. They believe that the farmers who lived near the river saw the beautiful lakes while eating the dish during their lunch break and colloquially named the dish in honour of the beautiful terrain. The dish has baked chicken with a sauce that has diced onions, paprika, cheese sauce, garlic powder, basil, olive oil, parsely, heavy cream, garlic, and fresh spinach. The dish is served alongside some french fries and a couple hard boiled eggs.

History of Pan Zuccherato

Pan Zuccherato is a flaky pastry sometimes filled with raspberry jam inbetween layers of phyllo dough. It originated as a savory snack made with olives but once the dish became more widely accessible to make, the country's economy/food industry was more stable and thus there were more food choices, the filling changed to become sweet instead of savory. The pastry is then cut into a circular shape before being baked. Although the dish originated in Ulivino County it is popular all over Montepresca. Although the dish is eaten all over the district, there are some regional variations in the type of filling. Certain counties in Montepresca use cream instead of raspberry jam while others only use raspberry and blueberry jam. Photo of origin of Pan Zuccherato
