Spaghetti is a very popular meal all over the world. Most people think it comes from Italy. But originally spaghetti comes from Asia.
Close to the heart of Tokyo among the shops selling old books, there’s a nice place to eat, called Sabor (a Spanish word for ‘taste’). It first opened its doors in 1955. Sabor serves the type of light meals you can find in a café. During the lunch hour this place is often crowded with students and office workers. Most of them come for the spaghetti napolitan. This is the most popular item on the menu. On some days more than 200 customers ask for this delicious meal.
The ingredients and recipe differ a little from chef to chef, but one ingredient that’s always present is ketchup. The Sabor’s cook cuts the ham, onion, green pepper and mushrooms into small pieces. He boils the spaghetti, adds the chopped ingredients and fries them lightly. After that he stirs everything in a sauce made from herbs, ketchup and tomato paste. When the spaghetti is ready for the table the cook puts some Tabasco pepper sauce and powdered cheese on it.
“Soft spaghetti and ketchup?", “Italian pasta dish", you may say, but you will be wrong. The recipe doesn’t come from Naples, Italy but from Yokohama, Japan!
Soon after World War II a chef at a Yokohama hotel decided to experiment and fried boiled spaghetti with tomato sauce and bits of ham and green pepper. However, tomato sauce comes originally from Naples, Italy, which explains the name, spaghetti napolitan.Spaghetti
