I’ve heard that Homer’s favorite meal was Pasta with Mizithra cheese in browned butter.
But if pasta came to the mediteranean with Marco Polo, doesn’t this destroy that claim.
I could research it on teh interwebs, but I think I’ll leave it a mystery.
i’ve heard some pre-columbus pasta references. i can’t think of any examples offhand, but i know they’re out there.
and now i want mizithra and lots of it!
Sounds like someone has been to the Spaghetti Factory.
=)
I thought Homer liked donuts.
:p (yes, I know, different Homer)
Dough!
Sure, if Homer = TEH BLAIRTERNET!
Actually, Homer’s favorite meal was served a la back of young boy, but that’s for another tale.
Oh, and the reference is to the cheese. The pasta, well, that’s for another tale.
IIRC noodles came from the orient, but I’ve seen references to pasta “lozenges.” I’ll stick with the noodles, myself.
