ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 No more takers? Ok, here are the answers for the remaining three questions. What is the difference between Roma style and Napoli style pizza? Roman style pizza have a thin and crispy crust, with very few toppings. They are also often square, rather than round. Neapolitan style pizza are thicker and softer, and almost always contain tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. What is the meaning of acqua pazza? Poached fish and vegetables, often in its own juices in a aluminum foil balloon. What are arangini? I have no idea; it should have been arancini! Which are fried rice balls. I'm sure all of you would have know that if I had spelled it correctly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
