I had bruschetta for lunch today with tomatoes from my garden and a little proscuitto. Delicious!

Figs, glad I could ease your troubled mind…still though, the NY and Philly accents make those words sound kind of ugly whereas here they at least remain a little poetic

That’s so interesting! I will feel much more relaxed about the whole thing now. I knew I should ask you about that!

Darlene, any red food is always so inviting to me; I hope you’ll give this one a go!

Jèr, I love that so many Italian dishes are so easy to make but end up looking and tasting so impressive. I can only imagine what your breath is like after the garlic has sat *overnight* in the mixture! Better you than me

Texas, I make a meal out of this too. I’m more of a many small things kind of eater anyway, so bruschetta with a little tuna and bean salad…yum

KC, hah! If your doctor was worried about prosciutto crudo, I’m not sure pig entrails would go over well. I sure hope you can eat tomatoes again soon; I thought your baby was Italian!

JoAnn, no offense taken if you choose to go without the garlic–to each her own…besides, it looks like My Melange will take your garlic

Figs, yes, that’s a fairly popular in Philly too…funny thing is, here in southern Italy, dropping the last vowel, especially in food words, is pretty widespread too so I’m guessing that’s where a lot of said Italian-Americans get it from

Rebecca, this makes me sad indeed. Very very sad. I’ll enjoy enough for you the next time I eat bruschetta, I promise

Tomatoes in the UK are tasteless…..so I can imagine, after devouring almost a month’s worth of tomatoes on the Continent that your recipe is delicious THERE. Here it would not be! Sad.

So many New Yorkers say “Brooshett” It makes me irrationally tense. So do “Proshoot” and “Moozarell.” But it’s just another dialect, after all! Do people in Philly do that too?

Hi M, I LOVED ‘and still do but….’ to eat that type of bread,( Thanks, I know how to pronounce it!) when I was living in Rome, I used to eat Brushetta al Pomodoro often.

Here in Holland ‘its not the same’ the bread isn’t that fresh as in Italy, we even can buy her the tomato sauce “in a tan’ also tasteless. No!!

Give my than this recipe, i’ll try it for sure. Thanks for the clear recipe and the story around it. I’ll eat it without the garlic cause I don’t like that! I know I know…. Without garlic, Thats not typical Italian…

The bruschetta in that photo looks so good that it makes me want to eat tomatoes! I haven’t been able to eat them for weeks. But maybe bruschetta is the answer! Definitely without the pig entrails that Antonio suggests, though. I can’t imagine that would be good for pregnant ladies.
