Italian Pasta
Pasta is high in complex carbohydrates, which help give you
energy. Instead of a quick burst of energy, complex carbohydrates provide a
"time release" of energy. Athletes who take advantage of "carbo-loading" eat
complex carbohydrates to save up the energy in their body.

Blue Cheese
Blue cheese is a general classification of cow's milk or goat's milk
cheeses with a blue or blue-green mold. The blue mold in these cheeses is
due to mold spores from Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum.
