I was surfing around the far end of the net and came across a neat little newsreel about my father's homeland.I haven't been back there in years and it brought a tear to my eye.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

Thanks for that. Brought a few tears to my eyes as well.

Just hilarious.

Makes me long for the meatball bush in my grand parent's villa in the country.

 

[UncleEd]

Sorry it didn't touch on the ziti harvest as well just below the Swiss border.

The meatball tree is of course a highly developed hybrid combining oregano, parsley, salt, pepper along with veal, pork
and beef bushes and the picking season varies in Italy
but must be done within two days of ripening.

You should try harvesting speatzle!
It can only be done by small children.
Our German fingers get too fat to pluck the delicate speatzles by age 14 from all that Rouladen, Bierox, and Schnitzel.
Once we get to the bier, forget about it!

You just destroyed every childhood memory I had!

 

[shouldazagged]

It's really amazing how many people fell for that when it first ran. Apparently there are just an awful lot of folks with no sense of humor.

Sure,Guys! First I'm shown what looks to be historic video on how spaghetti grows on trees and now you tell me it's all a joke????

I can't do anything about the certified letters I just sent to the Vatican but maybe no one has seen my Facebook page yet.

I really wasn't fooled. If spaghetti grew on trees that would make it a fruit and I never see it in the produce section at my market.

I could just picture my very stern and very swiss father growing more and more irritated while my very British mother was explaining " I think he's just joking dear" [emoji23][emoji23]

Reminded me of my Italian brother in law, seems he thought potatoes grew on bushes above the ground. His first visit to our Iowa farm got that straightened out.

I prefer shell's over spaghetti, I have to walk down to the beach to pick them, the only problem is you have to let them soak for a few weeks before they are tender enough to eat.

We used to have a lot of potato farms in this area, after the machines went through the fields you could go in and get what they missed, the kid's and I would fill up the back of the station wagon with them and pass them out to everyone on the street, today most of the farms are sod farms.

I gather you've never tried spaghetti squash--and yes, there really is such a thing. Bake it and it forms spaghetti-like strands. Bland as hell.

And then there are pigeon peas, gandules, that really do grow on trees in many Caribbean back yards. Not making that one up either.

I sure would like to observe that spaetzle harvest, though.

Reminds me of picking cheese in Wisconsin.

My wife thinks money grows on tree's.

 

[islamoradamark]

some of my friends just think fish jump on hooks when fishing

 

[Salty RI]

Everyone knows they don't jump on a hook, they jump in the boat.
