giardiniera!

Richmonders! And other people who don't know Chicago or Italians!

I need to tell you about giardiniera.* It is, I truly believe, Chicago's greatest contribution to the world. If you haven't tried it, that's okay. I will make you some or bring you some or... something. It's particularly fantastic on pizzas and sammiches. In fact, my longstanding problems with tomato-sauce pizza are all pretty much about the fact that most of it does not contain giardiniera.

Seriously. You want some.

* Someone needs to add some citations to that Wikipedia article!

Also, it is great on a muffaletta if you add some olives to it.

I believe in calling a muffaletta a sammich. But yes! I concur!
