<p>[QUOTE="Milesofwho, post: 3280197, member: 91469"]Also, I asked for and received this book, after first seeing it in a [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] post from many months ago. [ATTACH=full]867087[/ATTACH]While looking at it, I think to myself,</p><p>“Hmmm, what’s passum? It does seem to show up a lot in this.” Raisin wine, apparently. I guess that makes some sense. I begin to wonder where I can even get raisin wine. I’m sure I can get it somewhere, certainly in Italy itself, but... the United States? I doubt it for many reasons, foremost being that I can’t even legally drink here. Secondly is that a quick google search shows that the one place I found that sells the modern version, Vin Santo, does not ship where I am. Well, I guess I’ll just focus on something else... after I get through the Latin instructions to make it and its translation. I think this is the most reading I’ve ever done in a cookbook. Anyhow, maybe someday I’ll actually make something out of this and post it here. Wish me luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
