The town I grew up in was half Irish / half Italian and all Catholic. I’m Irish but of course half of my friends were Italian. So I know all about gravy and 7 fishes and pizelles and how dangerous a weapon a wooden spoon could be in the hands of an Italian grandmother, all that stuff.

We’re in the sliver of the world that pronounces capicola as “gabagool”
