The feast

Italians brought to these shores the tradition of the town feasts. These are mostly associated with a patron saint and a church. These images are from the Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Brooklyn. They are fun and if you have a steel belted stomach, the food is digestible. It's a far cry from good Italian food but it's all for having a good time.



  The question is always what to cook. I had a nice eggplant and some really good Lucio Garofalo paste called schiaffoni , a very funny name...
