What should we eat in Milan?

Question

Are there any unique Milanese dishes?

Answer 1

For Buggerhead, who says Italia is her home land ... uhhhh, one would think you would know how to spell CIAO if you claim it to be your home land ...

Anyway, typical food in Milano, Italia:

Traditional antipasto, made of nervetti (boiled calf’s shank and knee cartilage cut into strips) and mixed with thinly sliced onions.

Risotto alla Milanese, made with a full-bodied beef broth (the original recipe includes bone marrow) and flavored with saffron.

"Cassouela", an extremely filling dish made with various poor parts of pork meat (tail, ribs, rind, feet and ears) cooked with green cabbage and other vegetables.

Milanese cutlet that is probably nothing like you've ever tasted in other places: Milan restaurants actually serve a very tasty, crunchy cutlet, made with a veal chop, including the bone.

Another alternative is veal tonné, that is a light, tasty veal slice covered in tuna, mayonnaise, anchovy and caper sauce. including Salame di Milano, made from finely minced pork and beef meat, and many types of cheese too.

Grana Padano is a famous cheese overseas, which comes from the Pò valley that includes the Lombardia, Piedmont, Veneto and Emilia Romagna regions.

Mascarpone is also a typical Milanese cheese, that is an essential ingredient for desserts and creams, often mixed with other cheeses, salami or fish.

However, the most famous Milanese cheese is without a doubt Gorgonzola, that rich, strongly flavored cheese that reigns supreme at the Milan dinner table. This creamy cheese, that has blue veins running through it, is used to dress tasty first courses (in this case mixed with mascarpone), and to flavor Polenta or can be eaten alone.

Finally, Crescenza or “Stracchino”, the soft, creamy fresh milk cheese with a slightly sweet taste, that is excellent when spread on a slice of bread or eaten with raw vegetables.

Mangia!

Answer 2

There are a lot of typical Milanese dishes but a lot of these they're cooking also in the rest of Italy also if these dishes are typical of Milano and LOmbardia in general.
Risotto alla milanese, for example, is a typical first course. It consists of rice, saffron, the Italian cheese "grana", bone marrow from beef and it’s flavoured with white vine; or
"Cotoletta alla milanese": breaded cutlet fried in olive oil and more.

Answer 4

Anythign with Rissotto is excellent. They are known for Rissotto in Milan. Also, pair it with some type of fish. Fish in Italy is extremely fresh.

Answer 5

Milanesas? No, I think you would eat milanesas (breaded beef steak) for sure in Germany. In the north of Italy they use a lot of polenta.
