Notes: NOTE: Bagna Cauda is a Brackett tradition. Na recalled going to Aurelia’s house for lunch one day, and Bagna Cauda was served. She had such garlic-and-anchovy breath that no one would sit near her when she returned to the University for afternoon classes. Poppi always monitored the fondue pot, challenging any who thought they might dip their bread, overstay their welcome with their veggies in too long, or those who contemplated the cardinal sin of eating the garlic cloves. This was served at Jessica’s christening party and was a huge hit with the Audino family. Aunts Madaline and Blanche swear that their mother sliced the garlic, doubted Poppi’s recall when he said he left the garlic whole. He always left it whole. This was the first meal we prepared and ate as a newly married couple in 1975.
“Get your g** d*** bread out of there!” - John Brackett, at nearly every Bagna Cauda.
