This is one of the very many things that I love about this channel; how they go to so many different places/regions in Italy, that also speak different languages! You don’t just go to the main spots in Italy, i.e. Rome, Florence, Milan, etc. You make sure to go to the remoter parts of Italy too, parts that I never knew were so fascinating! Thank you all at Pasta Grannies for your amazing work! ☺️

But here it must be said that almost all videos are filmed in some small village in the various regions of Italy and not only in the classic big cities like Rome, Florence or Milan, that even foreign tourists are familiar with. Places where perhaps many tourists have been and have already known certain classic dishes of Italian cuisine. So instead you also know about places, small villages, where not only foreign tourists have never been, but where even we Italians have never been. The great thing here is to know, to discover new dishes, typical of certain areas, that even we Italians didn't know.

It's harder to find women in cities, for some reason. Probably because urban life isn't very community based, so there isn't somebody who knows somebody to recommend. Also there are convenience stores on every corner, so everybody understandably stops bothering to make pasta! 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

@@pastagrannies​​⁠​​⁠. ​​It is all right what you say. You are completely right ! I as an Italian, although I don't live in Italy, can confirm that. But if you like, it is like that a little bit all over the world. Here in Germany it is even worse. In the city everyone lives his own life. With the neighbor at most just a "good morning" and sometimes not even that. Life in small villages, where you don't find all the things you find so easily in a big city, is all different. Many things are done at home. People in small villages (I see this in my small town in southern Italy, in the Campania region) are a bit like a big family. They all know each other, help each other and respect each other. In big cities, on the other hand, everything is more anonymous. Best wishes, Aris 👋😊

I love all of these regional variations from the alpine dishes to the end of Sicily. Thank you so much for the mid week bonus episode.

I can't believe I actually was able to understand the German in this episode. Süd Tirol dialect is notoriously thick.

The muas is similar to something my Iowa-Czech grandmother (also a dairy farmer) used to make when we would visit in late 1960s-early 70s.

1:21 They speak German there. I, as an Italian living here in Germany, understand it, although it is not standard German, but there is some dialect.

I learned this Knöpfle dish from my grandmother. Her mother was from Austria. She made Knöpfle or broad noodles to be served with the apple sauce, sprinkled extra sugar, cinnamon and Knöpfle or noodles were tossed in bread crumbs toasted in tons of butter. Childhood memories. I have a tool to prepare Knöpfle, it is a flat sieve with bigger round holes. You just place the sieve over the pan, smear the batter over it, using a dough card and the batter drops into the simmering water forming small dumplings. The method with a wet wooden board and a knife is used to form spätzle but they are longer and thinner.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing your insights, 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

I will definitely try both dishes! They reminded me of my mother's potato pancakes with apple sauce and my own spoon bread, but with differences. They will be great additions to my recipe box. Love the video!

Oh wow! These both look so so delicious and warming! True comfort food and dishes you would remember forever.

I know this recipe. My grandmother used to make the Spatzle with onions in a sort of Béchamel sauce. Le bonjour de la Haute Savoie, à la Vallée d' Aoste ! ❤

That butter looked so much better than the plastic we have here in Canada

She's not speaking German, but 'dialect' of her region - lots of German-speakers struggle to understand as there are specialist verbs not known in German, and also lots of other unique words too of course! All over eastern Switzerland, Austria and in the mountain regions of Italy, such Mundart or dialect is the spoken language.

Not gonna lie, that porridge looks really good! and the apple gnocchi has my mouth watering. I love that I learn so much from this channel.

Thank you for this special midweek treat.

Hi, this is a long shot but maybe u can help? My mom passed away when i was 10 but she got a recipe from an italian man once for a pasta sauce but i can’t seem to find it and i cant recreate it, i remember it had whole tinned tomatos, bean sprouts, ground beef i think, peas and it was not like a heavy sauce but more on the light side (not super red like a pomodoro sauce) and it was slightly acidic and sweet (maybe vinager and sugar??) can u help ? It would mean a lot to me, can u ask the pasta grannies if they ever heard or made a recipe similar? Xoxo

Sei in ITALIA....parla italiano...

This area is south Tirol, they speak German and don’t consider themselves Italian. Recipes reflect this, so you won’t find those dishes anywhere else

Favourite language is german, because like any Sud Tirolese, she considers herself more austrian than italian.

Non si sforza nemmeno di parlare italiano. Che tristezza 😢
