” In Italy it is still being passed down from mother to daughter.”

Have talked to US soldiers who were part of the NATO Kosovo occupation. US and French troops had good supplies of food but everybody tried to get someone from an Italian unit to cook it. They had learned from Mama’s or Grandma’s kitchen.

Fascinating! I'd like to read more of battlefield cookery. :)
