“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Il Pesto

 

Ingredients

1/4 lb pig's liver
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp chives, chopped
1/2 cup cheese, sharp white, grated
2 cup basil, fresh
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup black walnuts
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper, black
3/4 cup olive oil



 

Preparation

Saut the liver in the butter; when cool, remove from pan & chop
coarsely. In a blender or food processor combine the basil, garlic,
walnuts, chives, cheese, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil.
Blend at low speed until a pure consistency is achieved. Slowly add
the remaining oil, blending at low speed until the oil is completely
incorporated and the consistency is that of whipped cream. Add the
liver and blend another 5 seconds and no longer; the texture of the
liver should be discernible. Serve as a spread for crackers or as a
sauce for spaghetti; if the latter, increase the oil to 1-1/2 cups.
