Corsica

Although Corsica, like Sardinia, is blessed with a wealth of raw material of every description in the way of edibles, it has a simple and austere cookery, but a highly characteristic one. It has in no way been subjected to any outside influence, just as the Corsicans would never adopt any of the customs of her many invaders and conquerors. There has always been an almost fierce dislike of strangers in the island, and Corsica would certainly never have allowed herself to be dictated to in culinary matters.
