Come on over!

gnocchi fritto ; the single best thing made in Italy in my opinion. Probably the least healthy meal ever eaten, but so good. I have only made gnocchi frotti a couple of times. They aren't hard but they much be eaten hot, so the cook never sits down but stays making and dishing out these puffs of fried air and happiness, vehicles for worthwhile causes of heart failure.

I know it was a typo night. Fata cats understands me❤️

Let me try .

First of all gnocchi fritti , il gnoccho fritto. Let me see if I can google an image.

It's that magical thing dough, una pasta, does when fried, it becomes more than the sum of its parts. This is a light puff of air you eat with the ham, or the Laredo, or honey, or cheese, as you decide what you have on it the steam oozes fro it whispering 'hurry, hurry'. If the basket is on the table too long still full at a restaurant it will be removed and new hot gnocchi fritti put there.


It's not so hard to make, if you can get sweet prosciutto lard to eat with it, the prosciutto, good cheeses.... but you will wear bigger clothes I think. It's better than pizza.

Dual layer pasta sheets, or more like awesome roti?
 
More like awesome roti, roti of paradise eaten by gods But more still like puffs of air caught in a flavour of goodness.

Pasta just means dough really. For example, a croissant can be collard Ina pasta in parts of Italy ( it's what g would call a croissant) in other parts it's called Una brioche! :). )

Ideally you eat these accompanied by light, rustic wine in terracotta bowls, it's not the time for wine snobbery to make the perfect meal.

I hate brioche. I have had god's (Buddha's... (Tibetan)) Roti afore, so I know where you're going... just sugar levels.
 
i read that first burn as bum and i was instantly amused. still, i think it's time to clean my glasses.

yep, that's better. well, kinda.
 
There's a hill between two small draws that caribou move through just off the Lake Louise access road. When I was a youngster, about this time of year, we'd hike the ridge from the road on snowshoes to a point where there was a big dead stump. It was always below zero so we'd start a fire for comfort and watch over the draws with our binoculars. If we were there over a few hours, we'd roast kielbasa over the fire. If we saw caribou, we'd take one, put out the fire and pack it out to the road. We used that spot many times and only once put the fire out and had no meat to take home. Caribou will walk right up to your campfire.
 
I would but I left my car waaaay over there (see pic - the car is parked at the lakeshore).
