How come pasta never got popular in Europe outside of Italy?!
Why is pasta, especially noodle pasta only popular in Italy!? I think the Polish made potato dumplings (so a form of pasta), but I don't know of any other European country creating pasta or any boiled dough dishes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
That is absolutely not true!. Pasta is popular all throughout Western, Northern and Southern Europe, in USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand!.
I know the Russians also have their own version of dumplings; Italians also make dumplings (raviolis and some other names in their language)!.
French do have their own version of Pasta!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What, you're kidding, right!?
You've got the pierogie in Poland, which is essentially ravioli stuffed with potato, cheese and onions!. You've got dumplings in just about every other national cuisine - German, English, Dutch, etc!. There's gnochi, and spetzle as well (I hope I spelled all those right!.)
The only one I can't think of right off is the French, but then their cuisine does a lot with pastry dough, filo dough, and pate choux!. These aren't pasta, but some pastries do rely on steaming and boiling!.

Not sure, maybe it's because they had potatoes to eat as their form of carbs!. That's just a guess though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
