Brioschi is always on our shopping list when we have the family over for the holdiays as well as a bottle of Fernet Branca.

And yes, Nuccia, I'd write to Rosina and Pasquale. I think they could do a hilarious skit woven around a GPS, even funnier than the OnStar one.

I'm on they're website now!

I think I will email them and see what happens. I'm up for a laugh. Let you know what happens.

Lets face it..if you are from Cosenza you can really appreciate their humor, no?

I'd have to agree on the fava beans, my Dad grows them every year, he'll be 90 in July, still tractors eight acres, prunes, carries sprinkler pipe and just planted 30 more cherry trees in the hot sun. His sister is 97 and brother 94 !
His fav's are monterey dry jack, french bread, favies and red wine.

Yup..Thats the one...do they still sell it? I think I'll get a bottle for old time sakes. I really feel I could use the "fizz" right about now! Who needs candy when we have this?

This is too funny!

Wait a minute! Go back to the original list and look at number 15.

"tomato sauce"? I think you mean "gravy"...

I wonder if "Gravy" is a geographic thing, because here in Massachusetts within the Italian community if you asked someone what that word meant they would instantly think of the brown stuff the Ameriganos put on their mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. Certainly not a reference to Tomato sauce.

But yea, once in a while I have read some people on this forum mention Gravy, it really sounds alien to me in terms of anything Italian.

It must be geographic. In Pennsylvania where I grew up we called it sauce. But my wife's family who are from Brooklyn call it "gravy." A hint to all the cooks out there who make their own sauce or gravy. Next time you do a pot, use San Marzano tomatoes. That's not a brand but rather the region near Mount Vesuvius where the tomatoes are grown. Something about the ash content in the soil gives them a sweetness which my wife swears by.

Biff,

Thanks for the tip. As for "gravy", we grew up calling it that in Rhode Island. Maybe it is a northeast thing.

I live in Western Massachusetts and last I heard we were part of the Northeast so I guess it might just be a family to family thing.
