    Where I grew up near Boston you were doubly blessed if you knew someone with a grandmother that made panettone and was willing to share. I had a buddy who's sister would make tons of homemade tortellini for the holidays. You'd walk into her house and they would be drying anywhere there was a flat surface. The first thing she would say was "Ya want them with sauce or with broth" and sit you down at her kitchen table for a bowl. Hahahaha, we thought she was an angel!

    I am interested that you always thought about food as a history lesson. LOL, I am a geography major and always thought of food as a geography lesson. I have to think about the history angle but can see where it is equally related, interesting. Combine the two schools of thought and I suppose it becomes a social subject. :)

    Milesofsmiles, I like Gator's and your take on food being a portal into geography and history. In this day and age of homogenization it's nice to try to preserve some aspects of a culture.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I think my mother had ancient history in mind when ever she cooked veggies! She was a great cook but had the notion that veggies such as spinach, summer squash and zucchini were best when boiled to oblivion! I can remember trying to hide boiled spinach under ketchup to see if I could disguise it as something edible . . . it never worked. :sick:

    History, and Geography, I guess sorta crossed paths over the ages. The Spice wars sorta covers both. And The Egg is traced back over Three thousand years. I'am now 70+ and just now begining to dig both subjects. All because of a ceramic cooker, spices and foods. I DON"T memorise dates. LOL. :):)

    Not to highjack the thread, but eenie meenie - I think you have definitely done your part to preserve aspects of a culture with your beautiful panettones. I'm going to give them a go this weekend. I've made bread in the past, but never this one. I love Sally Lunn...we always get panettone boxes at work this time of year and practically no one like them - lucky for me! :)

    Thank you for posting your recipe and pics in previous thread - I appreciate your willingness to share.
