Turin cuisine, under French influence, will certainly increase cholesterol levels in its supporters. Among the local dishes there is, for example,. swamp cauda, classic winter dish, sauce from oil, Butter, garlic and anchovy, in which pieces of fried beef and raw vegetables are dipped.
In addition, in the savoy kitchens, many sweets were invented to tempt the royal palate and widen the royal stripes. To this day, for example, it is served, for example,. such decadent delights, like spumone piemontese (marscapone cheese mousse with rum), Miss Cotta (excellent boiled cream), and light lingue di gatto biscuits (cat tongues) or baci di dama (women's kisses).
Most of the cheaper establishments, however, specialize in dishes, that you can get basically anywhere. There are plenty of snack bars and takeaways on Via Nizza, on Via Lagrange tempting with sweets and ice cream shops, and on Corso Vittorio Emanuele wonderful rosticceria (delicatessen), where you can prepare your own meal.
