You’re probably used to getting takeaway(外卖)delivered(递送)to your home these days. Maybe you and your parents even order pizza sometimes. But the first pizza delivery in history took place nearly 150 years ago in Italy.
In 1878, Queen Margherita became the first queen of Italy. As the story goes, the queen grew tired of eating “fancy” meals and wanted to eat “common” food. Raffaele Esposito, the most famous pizza chef(厨师)at that time, was asked to deliver a pizza to the queen.
He prepared a pizza with tomatoes, cheese and basil—the red tomatoes, white cheese and green basil standing for the colors of Italy’s new national flag. As soon as the pizza was out of the oven, he quickly delivered it to the queen himself.
The queen had never eaten pizza before and said it was one of the best things she’d ever eaten. Esposito named the pizza after the queen, and it has been served in nearly every pizza restaurant in the world ever since.
Today, pizza remains one of the world’s most popular fast foods. In 1973, US pizza company Domino’s Pizza promised to deliver its pizzas in “30 minutes or less”—if the pizza was late, it would be free.

Are you an eating-lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It’s a TV program on Chinese delicious food and is produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn’t celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese food:
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut if off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man Qu Yuan in Chinese history.
