The largest and most well-known city of the region is Milano, the fashion capital of the world.  As for foods in the region, there is nothing that is specifically featured. What might be very typical in Milano--their yellow rice--is not considered in Mantova, for example, or the polenta with sparrows that is very typical in Bergamo will turn off someone from Cremona. So there is a varied cuisine throughout the region, which is more typical of different cities throughout. Rice is used more than pasta in the region, and prepared with heavy cream. The people of the region have earned the nickname of "Frettolosi," or people in a rush with no time to sit and eat. As a reflection, much of the food served in the region is an all-in-one type of preparation, or very simple. Menu: Crema di Asparagi alla Milanese, a rich and traditional creamy asparagus soup that was traditionally served during the spring months ● Riso e Erborinn, a simple, yet tasty rice dish traditional of Milano with freshly minced parsley, butter, and parmigiano ● Brasato,  braised beef short ribs with pancetta, butter, red wine, carrots, celery, onions, and fresh tomatoes with nutmeg and clove ● Chiacchiere, traditional fried dough served typically at Carnivale ~ a fried dough made with masala, lemon, eggs, sugar, and flour, pan-fried in hot lard/oil and topped with powdered sugar.
