It Ain't Just Pasta

Please describe Osso Bucco.

 

[Marshwheeling]

Osso Buco is veal shank, cut across the bone to expose the marrow, which is as much a part of the dish as the meat.

Chicken marsala, chicken cacciatore, the dreaded stuffed squid. (Just like manicotti, but . . . different.) And squid marinated in wine, oil and lemon, then grilled. You haven't lived 'til you've tried it. Goes great as an appetizer with a big gin martini.

The chicken marsala and stuffed squid are two of my faves!

I looked it up and couldn't find it.

Of course not after you added the "c"

Me too...and began to experience some of the WORST attempts at Italian cooking while living in the country. Everything saturated with oregano and pasta cooked beyond recognition like mush. I longed for Arthur Ave. and was melancholy for City Island for years afterward, but made the stop whenever I returned to the city. Somebody dropping dead wasn't always totally bad news, I had to eat coming and going to the funerals! I went even if I never liked the guy. (Just kiddin'....do ya think?)

Cheers;

In Albania and Greece it is common to serve Oregano over french fries and potato chips come in Oregano flavor. Each taste is different. Few of the Italian restaurants I have eaten in the US compares to what I have eaten in Italy. I prefer US Pizza but it is decidedly regional and not comparable to what is eaten in the old country.

Nothing like a really good chicken tetrazini
