【No. 0490】Gnocchi

Apr 21, 2016 14:44
Today, I will talk about gnocchi.

Gnocchi is a type of pasta, and is a traditional Italian dish.

It had been cooked by using only flour, but nowadays, it's cooked by combining flour and potatoes.

Also, I heard that people eat gnocchi on Thursday in Italy.

Since there was a Christian rule that prohibits Christians from eating meat on Friday, they came to eat very filling dishes, and the dish became mainly gnocchi.

By the way, "gnocchi" is the plural, and the singular form is "gnocco."

Actually, what I just wanted to say today is the last sentence.
ニョッキ

今日はニョッキについて話します。

ニョッキはパスタの一種で、伝統的なイタリア料理です。

かつては小麦粉のみで作られていましたが、現在はじゃがいもと小麦粉を組み合わせて作られています。

そして、イタリアではニョッキを木曜日に食べることが多いようです。

金曜には肉を食べないというキリスト教の決まりから、木曜にお腹にたまるものを食べるようになったのが始まりだそうです。

ちなみに、ニョッキは複数形で、単数形はニョッコだそうです。

実は、一番言いたかったのは最後の一文です。

Hmm I think many prohibitions have been changed around conveniently. Like the Christian example you gave, I think the Catholics, for a long while, used to be unable to eat fish on a certain day.

It's all conveniently changed now in the modern world, and makes me wonder if Muslims might eventually be able to eat pork. I wonder why people don't think deeper about all these 'casual' changes.

Thank you so much always for correcting my post!
Yes, I think it inconvenient to prohibit eating something religiously, especially when you travel.
Someday, such prohibition may be changed, but there will remain many unreasonable things in the world.
