Answers to important research questions - "Bruschette, Bruschetti, Bruschetta?"

R -



 Back to Italian cooking as we do, given that Roberto has Italian roots.    Do you know that cooking and food are absolutely the main topic of conversation in Italy.  And yes, my questions re Bocconcini  and Bruschetta were considered carefully and responded to, with thought and understanding.  So thanks Bella, from http://www.timeintuscany.com/  for taking the time to do so.  As mentioned in previous blogs, we are fortunate to have spent time with Bella and Bello, terms of endearment,  roughly translated into 'lovely woman and lovely man,'  have enjoyed their wonderful hospitality and 'talking about and savouring fabulous food!'
Qu 2 - What is bocconcini - is it the same as mozzarella?

Bella's answer - Bocconcini is mozzarella in bite size pieces. Bocconcini means small mouth.

Qu 1 - Bruschette, Bruschetti, Bruschetta?
Bella's answer - Bruschette [not bruschetti] is plural for bruschetta. Hope this helps!

One more question please. Is crostini, singular or plural and is it essentially a small bruschetta?

ps -  Did you know that Mr Google actually doesn't know everything!  Friends are better and much more fun.  But ............

Research today: - A Yr 7 assignment on health issues,  actually asked

for 2  'other' resources apart from the Internet.  Whoooh!  Big ask!!!   Like, perhaps, an old fashioned idea such as a book, or a newspaper article. 

A lucky solution was arrived at - "Look up the net to find newspaper articles."   Not bad, actually, since a quick perusal of the local paper didn't actually directly answer the assignment question, and newspaper articles are arranged re subjects and published date.  Wow!  But are our kids losing out by having so much information at their fingertips?
