With a large Italian family (both sets of grandparents off the boat) desserts after meals on the holidays are quite a spectacle. And there has to be enough, you see, to feed a small village. Therefore, without question, the Italian pies collection for Easter just have to be my favorite. Wheat pies, rice pies, cream pies, and ricotta pies line the central nave of the dinning tables flanked by 2 dessert dishes per person. That's bc you use one plate for your pie tastings and a second for the other smorgasbord of sweet concoctions hidden among the glorious cherry and latice-topped pies. Mmmmmm I like the ricotta the best
Best part is juding who made the best pie for the year as, of course, multiple family members must compete with one another serving their prized selection of pies for the feast.
I've never won
