This is a dish my great grandmother used to make for my grandmother. It's only as an adult that I can finally appreciate it. It's peasant food, but it's kind of charming that way. I love it for breakfast with a side of fruit - really sticks to your ribs. Read more . Could easily be a nice lunch with a salad or a side dish for dinner too.
