EXCERT From SUNDAY SAUCE
by Daniel Bellino-Zwicke
If
you utter the term Sunday Sauce to any number of millions of Italian-Americans, they start
salivating at the simple mention of its
name. The wheels start turning in their heads, with
thoughts of how tasty it is, with its various components; the Meatballs, Sausages, Braciole, maybe Ribs, Beef Neck, or
Pig Skin Braciole, the Pasta, and the Gravy itself. They think about
sitting at the table
with friends and or family,
people they love. They’ll ponder the
Antipasti, wondering what it might be; Mixed Salumi, Baked Clams, Grilled
Calamari? And with the meal, there will surely be Wine, Italian Wine, maybe a good
Chianti or Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. With Uncle Frank and Uncle Tony, the wine
was usually Carlo Rossi Paisano or Gallo Hearty Burgundy, two solid Italian-American Winemakers.
When
thinking of a Sunday Sauce, you’ll think about the warmth in the air, of loved
ones, Sinatra, Dino, and the Sunday Sauce, “It’s a beautiful thing!”
If you’ve never done it, “Try it!” If you haven’t cooked one for some time, plan a get-together with
friends and family,
soon. Sunday Sauce, It brings
people together, in a most Delightful way, and as the Big Boys would say, “It’s
a Beautiful Thing.”
