"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This dessert from Grandma’s old spiral-bound cookbook is a staple of every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Leftovers are rare.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: We never know exactly what to call it, and we don't know if it is a dessert or a salad, but the original recipe called it a "loaf." All we know, is it would not be a proper holiday dinner without it!)
