The gastronomic tradition of Corfu is lost during the passage of the centuries. When Corfu was under Venetian control the Venetians influenced all areas of the daily life of the Corfiot’s and of course their eating habits, since why the Venetians brought new products, which the Corfiot’s "adopted" and created with them new recipes, which were adapted to the local gastronomic traditions. This kind of intricate mix created the famous Corfiot gastronomy, which is based on the Mediterranean diet including pure virgin olive oil and unique quality local products produced on the is-land as enriched with spices, many herbs but mainly with the love of Corfiot’s for food and cooking. Cooking with friends according to the Corfiot tradition is a ritual, joy, celebration and requires the participation of all. The locals cook without any haste, as their food is simmered in the pot, scattering spicy smells all around. However, during the cooking, they sing, they chat, joke and drink ouzo or pure homemade wine. At a proper Corfiot meal the variety of food is always rich and includes many different recipes, an indication of the willingness of the people of Corfu to please their guests.
"Rooster Pastitsada" is a traditional dish of Corfu, which has as its main ingredients the rooster and thick spaghetti.
