hackbunny posted:"antipasto" literally means "appetizers". what you're describing is some frankenstein monster of several italian appetizers, mainly tagliere di salumi and tagliere di formaggi - lit. "cured meats/cheeses cutting board", because it's traditionally served on a wooden cutting board (cheap places will just slap them on a plate). there are several styles of pickle appetizers too, like giardiniera, cipolle borettane grigliate sott'olio, antipasto pugliese, antipasto abruzzese... source: born raised and living in italy yeah that's why i said it can have any of those things not that it's always a huge rear end platter of fuckin everything with no rhyme or reason to it you asked how it was different from pickles which you obv already know so i'm not really sure what your point is tbh

Skinny King Pimp posted:yeah that's why i said it can have any of those things not that it's always a huge rear end platter of fuckin everything with no rhyme or reason to it it's a little silly though because there are basically infinite "italian appetizers". bruschette/crostoni, prosciutto e melone, burrata, mozzarella di bufala, impepata di cozze, insalata di polpo... these are about the most common and are probably unknown to any american who uses the word "antipasto". they're nothing exceptional either, and that is the point, isn't it. totally undeserving of a pretentious word

yeah i get you, it's a general term but it's a little narrower than just appetizer. like you say antipasto and i'm not gonna expect some southwest egg rolls or jalapeno poppers, you know?

Do american even have cured ham or must it be always cooked due to ultra restrictive sanitary laws? I love that we can throw cheese in a ditch, or put lard in a marble coffin, let it rot for a year and call it a delicacy.

Tafferling posted:Do american even have cured ham or must it be always cooked due to ultra restrictive sanitary laws? yeah we got virginia style hams where you salt cure it for a while, smoke it, then age it so they're not actually fully cooked. it's not like you can't serve prosciutto or smoked salmon or anything else that's cured/smoked and not actually cooked.

In Italian, la fica refers to a fruit: the fig. La figa refers to a beautiful, sexy woman. So che bella figa means “what a lovely woman!” However, la figa is also slang for a woman''s vagina.

i like the episode of the sopranos where tony eats the capicola ham or whatever the gently caress it is, he keeps calling it galbagool and everyone he talks to knows what that means, even though i dont know what it is, i think its some kind of ham and he and his therapist are discussing the meaning of the galbagool it turns out it gave him a panic attack due to a repressed memory of his father chopping some dude's hand off, then that same night his dad gave a stolen roast to his mother, who was chopping it up with a cleaver like the one used to chop the guy's hand good episode, galbagool boogaloo i think its called
