Answer 2

It depends on where you lived. Italians emmigrated in great numbers from Italy and Sicily from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Italians took their homeland recipes with them, but many had to adapt those recipes to where they settled. For example, many Sicilians, whose main staple was fish, had to adapt dishes when arriving to parts of the USA where fish was not as plentiful. Therefore, pork, beef and chicken were incorporated. Pork was added to tomato sauce and it was found to give the sauce a wonderful flavor. Ground beef was added to sauce or was reserved to blend with ground pork and breadcrumbs to make meatballs.

Pizza has been a staple of Italy since the late 1700s and was quickly adopted in other countries upon the Italian mass-emigration as was spaghetti with marinara, but meatballs became popular around the turn of the last century.

I hope this helps. :-)

In 1912 perishable food like milk, butter and eggs was kept in an icebox so it would not spoil and have to be fed to pigs. Most people had dried food such as beans, rice, wheat or corn flour stored in containers to keep it dry so it would not sprout or get moldy. Meat was not eaten often by the poor, but some households took pride in serving chicken for Sunday dinner. Nutritional diseases like pellagra and scurvy sometimes appeared in communities where people ate little except corn and gravy. Householders usually had a garden and orchard for fruit and vegetables, and city dwellers bought food from pushcarts and butcher shops and bakeries.
