Food Firsts
How much do you know about the history of some of your favorite food? Do you know when
people in England started cooking curry dishes? Do you know in which country pizzas or hamburgers
were first made? The facts might surprise you.
Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600s. In
reality, wealthy English people were eating dishes made with curry spices hundreds of years before
British ships traveled to India. Cooks of wealthy English families during the time of King Richard I were
making curry dishes, and in fact, the word “curry” can be found in an English language cookbook as far
back as 1377.

As for pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were
eating round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s. That was nearly 1,000 years before pizza caught on in
Naples, Italy!
Finally, let’s look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an
American food. However, according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. A
German named Otto Kuasw created the first hamburger in 1891. Four years later, German sailors
introduced hamburgers to Americans.
Where foods come from isn’t nearly as important as how they taste; as long as they are
delicious! So, go get some of your favorite food and dig in.
