Peasant food.
What is more satisfying than a simple meal of homely honest ingredients cooked well. These are the dishes of mothers and grandmothers everywhere, the tastes that bring to mind happy times with family at the table. What better image in the American psyche is the gathering of Italian American families eating Sunday meals. From the Godfather movies to the Sopranos TV show, the Italian lifestyle of gathering to eat has shown us what a proper meal is supposed to look like. However all these meals come from a long history of not only Italian families gathering for a shared feast everyday, but one where all cultures have shown that after a long hard day working in the field , everyone could come together and share in the bounty of their shared labor. Thus we present for Round 5, The People’s choice…. Italian Farmhouse
