Ciao and Happy Thanksgiving. 12 years ago my wife Lori and I hosted an American Thanksgiving for friends in Umbria. Special ordered a 10k turkey from Lauro our local butcher in Spoleto and cooked it in a 700-year-old bread oven fueled with olive branches. Pomegranates instead of cranberries. Potate Americane (hard white sweet potatoes that are more like jicama). When we started to make the cornbread dressing, we explained that it was a "panzanella cotta." Still a favorite memory.
