I didn't see any - and wasn't interested. But there weren't many berliners left when I
took the train home. :))

The Northern Italian food was less tomato based than the Southern food.
Still a lot of olive oil.

We recently were on a Baltic cruise that stoppped in Tallinn for a day. My
husband got to wondering what they did with ugly women, all women over 25,
and all the men, because those working inside the walls were uniformly
pretty and young.

It happens a lot in eastern Europe. The women seem to take great care
of their appearances, almost as if it was their best chance in life.

Historically, noodles came from China, tomatoes from Americas, and
basil from India...of course, the pasta recipes were Italian.

I've read otherwise with regard to the olive oil. What is your source?
Risotto, for example, which is a classic northern dish, uses butter,
not olive oil. Polenta is traditionally served with butter and grated
cheese (also mushrooms). Various classic veal dishes use butter.

The butter is frequently substituted with olive oil nowadays. You can
see it in the supermakets where they have 2-3 types of butter and 30
types of olive oil!

I'm sure that's true, just as you also said that pasta is now is very
popular in the north. However, I was talking about the traditional
northern dishes, and I thought Calif Bill was also. Tomatoes, which he
mentions as being "southern" are also very widely used now in the
north.

The south of Spain has excellent weather conditions in April, I live
here for 4 years now and i know why i'm staying here. Lots of cities
are worthwile to visit, but if i may suggest one that tops all, visit
Marbella. The typical mediterranean style old town, the jet set port
Puerto Banus, tapas and flamenco. Ol�!
