Buon Giorno,
Good question.
It was surely Italian; as the Vet is 100% Italian from Milano and I am 50% Italian, via my father and my Grandmom Margherite, who immigrated to Manhattan in 1921.
We had lived together long before we actually went to legally tie the bond ... We were due with my first daughter Naia ... and thus, we decided to tie the legal bond.
I may stand to be corrected, however, my best, from the lessons with my Grandmom Margherite, and thus, Bolognese Ragù and Pappardelle or Tagliatelli ... with Pecorino Sardo ...
I shall ask him when he comes home this evening.
Ciao, Kind regards.
Margi.
