| Carciofo alla giudìa - Artichoke Hebrew |
Eating well in the ghetto of Rome is easy because ancient religious tradition requires the use of fresh ingredients selected more rigorously controlled, in other words organic food. Easy because in over 300 years of living in the ghetto, the Jews have preserved Roman dining experience like no other, it is easy also because everyone - both those who prepare sandwiches, is the owner of the chic restaurant - are keen to make a good impression in the name of 'hospitality, with good reason, is considered sacred.
When in 1555 Pope Paul IV Carafa deemed "absurdum" that despicable Jews lived next to Christian, he decided to lock them up in cages. Only in 1870 the doors opened at dawn and closed at dusk, were torn down permanently, by virtue of this separation is that the Roman Jews have invented and maintained a dialect that preserves the terms of the ancient Roman mixed with words of Hebrew Bible but above all they have kept the recipes that delight our palates.
