Dining with the Saints
Please check out www.novena.com for my monthly column "Dining with the Saints," which features recipes for saints' days. The beautiful, art-filled blog is written by Barbara Calamari and Sandra DiPasqua and includes the stories of the lives of saints and monthly novenas and prayers. They've written many books on the subject and really know their stuff. I, on the other hand, am a fraud, a Catholic lapsed all the way to atheism. But I love researching and creating great recipes to go with these amazing stories.The Italian Recipe Exchange

Where was this photo taken? Those iron railings on the balconies makes me think Sicily.
Only Italian city I’ve been to that seems gaga over horse meat is Padova. In the market there were a couple of butchers specializing in horse meat and it appeared on a lot of restaurant menus. It’s where I added a type of meat to my “I’ve eaten more mammal species than anyone” list that almost no one else has…donkey. It was quite a delicious stew.
You know, I don’t know. I found the photo on google image search and fell in love with the plastic bucket of brown sludge with the twig brush stuck in it. Really appetizing.
It might be Sicily. I saw lots of horse butcher shops there, and in the outdoor markets. Not sure though.
