  • Pittsburgh Paesani

    Came across this podcast and being from Pittsburgh and 1st generation, I had to listen! I can relate to the foods of our ancestors. The convo about everyone fighting over the “eyeballs” was hilarious. In my mother’s hometown they called a guy “Fugadutz” (everyone had a nickname) which means Liversausage apparently. What a nickname! Thanks for having a channel for the Italian Americans! Ciao! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
