Why thank you. You know, I've always wondered how pasta e fagioli came to be called "pasta fazool." Was it a mispronunciation that soldiers brought home from Italy after the war or did it become an Americanized pronunciation among second and third generation Italian-Americans
Oh, well, I'm just glad they brought home a taste for it, along with pizza and everything else Italian. I don't know abut you, but I'm really getting hungry now.
Hey, I think "pasta Pazul" was a pretty good pick up for an old Kraut like me. And I was able to relate it to an old Italian Standard (albeit the wrong one). At least it shows my mind's still working, although not at full strength... :)
