How great to hear her recite the poem! That was a lovely addition to a marvelous episode.

I am delighted to see the subscription numbers clicking up steadily... Richly deserved! Well done to Francesca and all those who helped out!

One heavy duty stuffing .... for robust stomachs to digest! Wonder why you visited and filmed in the dark/evening? love the skies, the moon and the stars at night in that part of the world. Very touching the poem for La mamma.. :) 😊

Sort of like the Sicilian version of a Cornish pasty. They looked lovely and I'll bet they were delicious.

My family is also Sicilian from Aragona. We make 'mbrivilata. Ever year for Christmas. I love how almost every town in Sicilian hands their own versions of sausage bread. Bravo...it looks delicious!!!! ❤️

Mi nonna was from Lercara too. Sulfur mines were very harsh and Sicily in the early 1900s was brutal . Mi bisnonno was abandoned in a routa degli exposit in Catollica Eraclea .

How interesting. Yes the sulphur mines were totally appalling - so many thousands of people emigrated and never gave Sicily a second thought they were so grateful to leave these conditions behind. best wishes, Vicky

Any mother would get tearful at that poem, very much from the heart. The bread pasties look great. I make cornish pasties (its where I am from) so I think I can manage these :). i will lose weight one day.

Pecato non lo so parlare inglese. Solo portoguese e un pò di italiano. Sonobradiliana e mio nonno è nato a Letcara Friddi. Amo questa città.

Francesca, your video moved me to tears, thankyou from a farm In New Zealand. If you ever travel here you will always be Welcomed by me.

That's my home town! 'nfriulate are just delicious ❤️ come and taste them 😊

A round of applause also for that beautiful poem about Mamma. 👏👏👏 PS: Here Vicky had to find a translator for the Sicilian dialect. ;)

A friend from Abruzzo told me that a lot of movies are made in Sicily and they have to be shown with subtitles everywhere else in Italy.

@@elisaastorino2881 This is so, because if you are not Sicilian (and even within Sicily the dialects can change from one area to another) you can understand perhaps a couple of words, but not everything a person says. I remember a curious anecdote that happened here in Germany (where I live as an Italian and as an Italian teacher, I teach Italian here in schools). One day a German mother, married to a Sicilian, came to school to talk about her son and began speaking in a strict Sicilian dialect. Obviously, not being Sicilian (I come from the Campania region), I couldn't follow her. She noticed it and said (in German)….but you don't understand Italian? And I answered smiling…….dear lady, if you spoke in Italian, there would be no problems, but everything you have said up to now was in a strict Sicilian dialect and I am not Sicilian. The strange thing was that the lady thought she spoke Italian, since her husband was Italian, she learned everything from her husband. But she did not realize that her husband, being Sicilian, at home he spoke a strict Sicilian dialect with her and not in standard Italian. 😊

Oh.. everything in this channel is very delicious. Frank Sinatra museum is very good to visit.

My husband and I made this yesterday. We had to use baby spinach instead. it was awesome! Everyone loved it. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

The divine energy that flows from their hands are the best "ingredient" ever, salve le mamme italiane

I love this page, the idea, should be adopted everywhere! Grannies everywhere should be celebrated.

So happy you are exploring “baked pasta dough”… delicious! Brings back memories!

Another recipe that I can use to take to work or where ever and not have to buy a meal.

Las abuelas, que no falten nunca !!!

Buon apetito Mario e un saluto brasiliano per te!

I am do happy I discovered this channel. Bless those ladies they are magnificent and a great example for us young people. Many loving hugs for each and every granny. 🤩❤️

Beautiful video, and the rolls look delicious.

Andremmo a garda questa settimana. Io spero che troviamo cibo rustica come questo!

This is a treasure! My mouth is watering!

Ms. Vicky, again another great recipe & Francesca & her friend are dear soul pastagrannies, in Appalachia we do make bread but is mostly white flour bread or potato bread, not as sophisticated as this with fennel sausage, etc...I won't go into the details as is standard for those breads. Funny story, we have 2 male cats & 1 is named Frankie after Frank Siniatra as he has Frank's blue eyes, lol, his fur is blue steel/gray/white, we love Mr. Sinatra's voice/songs, ( Francis Sinatra) & also Tony Bennent's ( Antonio Bennedetto), we listen to them occassionaly, God Bless you all & please stay safe

My kind of "calzone"!....... Potatoes, cheese, pork, fennel and greens. 😋 Yum.

Growing up we made these except they were made like a loaf of bread my Mother used to roll out the dough put the sausage mixture on top roll it up like a jelly roll but put it into loaf pans to rise then bake them & they were Bella😍😍😇🙏🙏👨🏻‍🦯👨🏻‍🦯

Vou fazer Francesca!

Loved seeing Pasta Grannies on The Bear!! I laughed so hard!

This is definitely a must try!

Always a delight to get another video like this, and I loved the poem recital.

Frankie goes to Hollywood, and the Oscar for the deliciousness goes to ... Francesca's sausage bread roll !

Those looked and sounded amazing

I love this!!!

Lovely!! Love this channel ❤️

Ah I how did I miss this when it came out, usually pops into my notifications straight away!? They look tasty, a good mix of flavours & hearty ingredients. Real stick to your ribs stuff. Will definitely be giving them a go soon. Thank you for the inspiration.

Oh yummy! She is delightful!

Wow 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

This looks absolutely divine and like a handy snack for the road.

Que vontade de comer um. Essa linguiça maravilhosa nem existe no Brasil.

Yum!

That looks so good but I can’t see how everything inside would be cooked through in 1/2 hour

The glass that she uses to measure the water looks to be about 3 dcL (300 mL), which combined with 500g of flour gives us a hydration of 60%. Which is the perfect hydration if you aren't using a bread flour.

I would have cooked that sausage and even the potatoes a bit.

@businessasusual9077

No need to because the fat from the sausage and the juice from the vegetable is enough to cook the potatoes and sausage will cook perfectly in half an hour. I know because I use to make a focaccia ( I think in English is a pie) with the same ingredients ( minus the sardines) and all the elements cook perfectly well inside the crust, even if I have to admit that I slice the potatoes rather thinly not in cubes like these Nonnas did in the video.

I would like the poem name PLEASE ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌸

Can some one type the poem in full. How to find it?

Sounds like a place I need to visit. Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today…..

Wonder who invented the first pasties

Does the potato have to be partially boiled. Seams like they would not cook.

Because , I presume, you don’t factor in the fat from the sausage and the juice released by the vegetable .. if you consider that half an hour or thereabouts is enough to cook the filling, and the crust.
