I've been eating and cooking Chicago Italian for over fifty years (I'm polish) and have just discovered the wonderful "thing" called bruschetta. Where have I been!!?? Lots of recipies on web sites but where did it come from! Could become a staple of our lives!

Essentially, it's stale bread! toasted! typically Italian would be to load it up with tomatoes, basil, garlic or whatever you've got.

Add some good balsamic vinegar too!
