Alors!
It exists, idiot mayor.
Change the name of your town.
Rump meat isn’t fit for much either, until your slow cook it into pot roast or beef stew.
fried bologna (with radial cuts to prevent curling ) covered with parmesan and served with garlic crusty Italian toast was a staple
Well, I looked it up on Google, as I should have done a few years ago. It is how I have pronounced it all along, but unlike my Italian friend pronounces it:

Can you get Neapolitan ice cream in Naples?

We prefer Pasta Putanesca...

Grating old bread for fluffy meatballs! That is hard core and respect to her!
