Your last name must in in a vowel. Now that great Northern Italian is that the same as Vienna Sausage in the can?
Uhh..no.

But as you are an obvious connoisseur of Southern cooking, I can understand why you are confused.

Hint: Collard greens, fried catfish and grits are not "delicacies" in Italy.

BTW, my last name does end in a vowel, but I have no Italian heritage. I just like the cooking.

Mark, I appreciate your humor, and your knowledge of great southern dinner dishes like fried catfish and grits. I grew up in Rome, not that beautiful Italian city, but the Rome located in the Northern port city along the Coosa River. The fried okra was a delicious dish served often with other soul foods of the south. I may well have been he first glider pilot to fly in Rome, made a trip there every summer to fly my Std. Cirrus off Richard Russell airport. Bob
