Easter is coming, do you eat something in particular? Here in Italy, or better here in Naples, we mostly eat this, among other things:

not even to be mentioned...Colomba all the way...

that's for what concerns the "dessert" category, of course...

 

other foods...no, I've never followed any particular tradition (except maybe that I always try to avoid meat on Easter Friday)...

I suppose adding lemon to the water can be an easier solution

 

 

Maybe, but apparently it really smells a lot so it will require porbably a couple more of lemons :d

Nothing special in terms of food. basically the Sunday morning the whole family sit around the table to break the fast (Especially Friday is the major fast) with a real feast including million different kinds of Ham, saussages (yes we have countless amount of saussages species) + eggs, traditional home made cheese made of eggs and mainly sweet betroot + spicy horseradish :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub: + every family bakes million of diferent sweeties and cakes, especially to be served alongside with unstoppable amount of alcohol for the "visitors" of the Easter Monday morning :d

I made my own Thai-style green curry soup today, based on green curry paste.

I added lots of things I like, like onions, garlic, spinach, coconut milk, cashew nuts, coriander and ... English sausages. I love experimenting with different cuisines and ingredients. :d 

 

Served in a bowl with vermicelli (glass noodles).

not exactly my kind of cuisine, but it looks interesting...

 

and I like a lot the attitude to try and experiment, personal interpretation of the general principles of a certain cuisine is one of the main characteristics of a good chef...;)

 

only pastry is a "perfect science", anything else in the kitchen is only about finding the right balance between ingredients and taste...

however, today is Ester Friday, so here in Italy the tradition is about not eating meat nor anything related to it...

 

so, my lunch was about fresh tuna and a good mixed salad (with many types of vegetables like "travisana" -red leaves salad- fennel, carrots, celery, spring onions, yellow and red pepper, tomato), followed by some fruit (apple) and a slice of "Colomba" (classic Easter sweet for us in Northern Italy...see the picture in my previous post in this thread)...

my dinner, instead, was only about a dish of pasta (with the most classic tomato sauce), some dried fruit (nuts, almonds and things like that) and some chocolate pudding...

I'm not so good in pastry, so usually I avoid it, but sometimes I try to do some dishes :p

This is a typical dish of the Amalfitanian Cost and we call it Delizia al Limone (in English something like lemon delicious, I'm not sure). It's a small cake of sponge cake (with the add of rum after the cooking) filled with a lemon cream :)

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict.
