Let's find out what are the favorite dishes of the winners of Sanremo of past editions. Never seen you find them sitting at your table! Better not to be caught unprepared, no?
I wonder why the singers never talk about food. Of course, it can happen that an interviewer will risk the question, but it is as if certain artists wanted to keep the sins of throat locked up, protected by the judgment of others. Yet sharing them would help. If nothing else to understand how a singer can find the strength to get on a prestigious stage like that of the Ariston Theater and take home the most coveted prize, the one that will remain on display on the brightest shelf of the house and that everyone will admire with great "Wow" and congratulations. We should not think, however, that the Sanremo artists prefer particularly elaborate or difficult to prepare foods. For some of them the real taste is found in simplicity, in dishes prepared with love by grandma and that they know of home, of warm, protected place.
The favorite dishes from the winners of the past
A bit like Emma Brown, winner of Sanremo in 2012 and a great lover of gnocchi with potatoes and lamb. Or how Marco Carta, which triumphed in 2009 and just can not resist the lasagna with vegetables, capers and rocket.
Elisa, which the prize won him in 2001, but it is for tradition: remove the sauce and you risk big trouble. Definitely unconventional is the predilection of Laura Pausini for Japanese cuisine. If you asked her for her favorite dish, the lasagna would not answer, but California Maki would. The same is true for Al Bano, winner of the 1984 Festival, which, to the classic "glass of wine with a sandwich", prefers the Pittule by far, the strong dish of his mother Jolanda. These are small pancakes filled with anchovies and olives and seasoned with tomatoes and basil: "happiness" also passes through them.
Lover of tradition is, then, Arisa that "sincere" is by vocation: his favorite dish are, in fact, the Manate with Peperoni Cruschi and Mollica. Of the same vein also Luca Barbarossa, winner of Sanremo in 1992 and a great lover of spaghetti with fresh tomato. To Adriano Celentano, which at the Festival won the podium in 1970, the tripe, in all its variants, seems the symbol of the land without borders, between Milanese and Lodi.
Without surprises it is Massimo Ranieri, which made the Festival its own with To lose love: for him his mother's pasta and beans is more sacred than the blood of San Gennaro. There are, however, those who look at foreign tastes with great interest. Such as Marco Mengoni, winner of Sanremo in 2013 with The essential and a great lover of Paella: the lightning strike, in fact, it is just on the occasion of a trip to Spain and, since then, it seemed almost impossible to make him change his mind. From the Bolognese ragù preferred by Gianni Morandi grilled scampi di Peppino from Capri; from the zucchini of the mother of Eros Ramazzotti to grilled fish of Marco Masini you can not say, after reading this article, that you will not know what to cook your idols if they spend a moment from home. And there's nothing.
