Gita! Torta sbrisolana alla Mantova

After the impromptu concert all returned to find their tables full of dolce -- the desserts had arrived. Large chucks of sbrisolana liberally sprinkled with powdered sugar weighed down the tables. Sbrisolana is a kind of a cross between a cookie and a cake made from almonds and cornmeal that is the sweet specialty of Mantova and is proudly displayed in the window of every pasticceria in the city.

Craig, thank you for that wonderfully detailed sojourn back to Italy! It was easy to imagine the scene and even some of the personalities. And the food... I could almost taste it.

Un lavoro meraviglioso!

That was very well written. Bravo Craig!

Why Italy is sooo perfect? *sigh*
