There is not one particular dish that Calabria is famous for. Many towns in Calabria have their own traditional dishes that are often unique to them. However, the one food item that says "Calabria" more than any other is the nduja. We'll tell you about this key ingredient to many a Calabrian dish a little further down the page. Overall, though, the dishes of Calabria are simple and traditional. The Calabresi like it that way, and so do I. Let them keep their fancy Michelin restaurants elsewhere.
