Quiche my butt!!
Thank you Tony!!!! Obviously some folks have never been to the Italian section of Federal Hill or to the little Italy in a city near where you live.

Well, the first one sure LOOKED like a quiche

So, what IS it? Looks scrumptious, whatever you want to call it.

And sadly, my part of the country, Olive Garden is about as Italian as it gets! (which is why I wouldn't know what the pie is!).

But I could go on about the different types of boudin all day, if you like!

OLIVE GARDEN?!?!?
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHH!!!

It is Italian 'Easter Pie' ...
From the I'net ....
In Naples it is known as "pastiera," and is made with ricotta cheese and whole grains of wheat to symbolize rebirth. It is also known as "pizza piena," (stuffed pie), and in Italian-American dialect, "pizza gain." "Pizza Rustica" is still another term and refers to the savory and rustic aspects of the pie. Italian meat pie is called a "pizzachino" which means pie of meat or meat pie in Italian.

Sicilians make a pie made from macaroni, pork, cheese and eggs. Calabrians favor ham, sausage, hard cooked eggs, mozzarella and ricotta. In Liguria, where it's referred to as "pasqualina," it's made from spinach, ricotta, cheese and eggs. In central Italy, from Umbria to Marches, the Easter Pie is more of a bread than a pie and is known as "torta di pasqua" or "pizza di pasqua."

And it is like a quiche ... only bigger and better - it's ITALIAN!!! ... http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=...ved=0CA8QsAQwAA

My mother use to make Pizza Gain a very rich dish it is. That's what you'd call "Heart Attack on a Plate" BTW, that boudin looks mighty tasty too.

Glad you are back Tony...

Well, at least now we know what brought down the Roman Empire; Italian cooking .

BTW Tony, since we haven't heard you gasping for air, I have to assume that you were not adversely affected by all of the terrible flooding that seems to have ravaged parts of RI. In any case, you and your family, be safe.
