Fresh mozzarella with sliced tomato on top w/ basil. This is pretty much a standard for Italians.

Fresh mozzarella with sliced tomato on top w/ basil. This is pretty much a standard for Italians. Done. With balsamic vinnegar. What else? |

What time should we arrive? I will start serving at 10AM. I am OCD, so so there will be enough food for 30, even though I expect 12. |

Try this simple bruschetta w/tapenade:
12 cloves garlic, finely chopped (must be fresh, not out of a jar) 15 or so kalamata olives, chopped Fresh Basil leaves, chopped. ETA - The mixture should end up being nearly equal parts garlic/olive/basil, though less garlic might be good if your company are garlic amateurs. 2-3 Roma Tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise then sliced thinly. Put all three in a bowl and cover will good extra virgin olive oil. It's best if the tapenade can sit for a half hour or so before serving. Take a small diameter baguette and slice thinly - 1/2" max - and toast the rounds by whatever method turns your crank. I've grilled the bread over charcoal, toasted in a nonstick skillet with some oil, and brushed it with oil and toasted it under the broiler. Just toast the bread one way or another. Coarse sea or kosher salt. Serve by placing some tapenade and a slice of tomato on a piece of bread, sprinkle with salt. Another possibility would be a hot antipasto plate - meatballs, chunks of sausage, stuffed mushrooms, roasted garlic, roasted cherry peppers, really any roasted veggie you'd like - served with marinara sauce and bread. You also cannot go wrong with melon & prosciutto. |

We just drive over to the Deli and pick it up See... fuck you. That isn't happening in SC. Also, fuck you! :) |

Gotta have some kinda nuts... like walnuts or almonds. Also need some kinda fruit like grapes, figs, or apricots as they go great with the salty meats.
If you want you can also have Calamari salad (my personal favorite). Last but not least if you can get them, the stuffed hot peppers (stuffed w/ a piece of cheese & proscuitto) are fantastic! I also recommend San Pellegrino for those that choose not to drink alcohol. and lots and lots of good Italian bread! |

Calamari may be an option too, but I have a closet full of Scungilli I had not thought of yet! Maybe I do both!!! I keep san pellegrino in the fridge (both orangiata and lemonola!)! |

Need recipe for ricotta cheesecake NOW.
Also, I'd shank someone for some braciola that looked like that. Glad you guys had a good party. |

10/10 for the dinner pic part.
That antipasto is so full of win.

Nothing like a good dago feast. Looks delizioso, from one guinea to another. Tell your boy buon compleanno.

1. You suck.
2. I'm fucking hungry now. 3. I am sad. I don't live in a state that lets me own NFA. 4. I'd have no clue where to buy 40mm rounds anyway. 5. #3 and #4 make me more sad. 6. I'm even more hungry now. 7. You suck. PS. Dammit, I'm hungry. |

So full of WIN! ..... delicious, delicious WIN! I'm so homesick and hungry again. I have to stop viewing those pics. There's nothing better than family parties with large amounts of antipasti! Bravo sir, bravo! and Buon Compleanno to your little guy! P.s. Next time, bring the cannoli and maybe some sfogliatelli |

Huh? Why didn't I see this thread before?
Not too shabby, anyway... not too shabby. For all of it, I know you Americans are accustomed to different flavors than us - we would scream to someone puttin tomato ketchup on our pasta - but what I liked more was your research for genuine Italian beverages. You did even find some Sanbittèr. You didn't find some Birra Moretti for your pleasure, didn't you? |

My grandmother grows all of her own peppers, tomatoes, etc. so that's where all of the fresh foods come from. Other than that, the lunchmeats come from the store, along with some other italian produce that's imported. I'll have to see if I can find some of that mozzarella. |

So what exactly do you feed that launcher? Any of the good stuff?
