The custom of having an appetizer
before dinner was not to perk up our
appetites as everyone, including our
mother, spent a lot of time outdoors
playing sports and we were always
ravenous. But with the abundance
of the seasons a special antipasto
was presented often. For example,
in the early Spring, we were
inundated with artichokes, and cold
artichoke frittata was likely to be
available as an appetizer. In the late
Summer, there were loads of fresh
figs, so prosciutto and figs might be
on the menu, segueing into
prosciutto and melon in early
Autumn. |
