Me, Kresh, Vince, Alexis, and Sophia
We drank a lot of good wine, inclucing; Rosso di Montalcino, Falerno, Altro Pavia, and ?
We ate; Speedino al Romano, Polpette (Meatballs), Spaghetti Carbonara, Escarole, Melanzane al Parmigiano (Eggplant), Veal Bismark (al Holstein), Rigatoni con Ragu, Cheesecake and TiraMi Su.
Oh buddy Jimmy took care of us and we had the most marvelous time.
Veal Bismark
aka Veal al Holstein
My old buddy, Chef Rene who I've known for almost 40 years made us Veal Bismark, which has not been on the menu for years, but he made it especially for our group. Everyone loved it. No one other then myself had ever eaten it before, and the wonderful flavors of the breaded fried veal cutlet, topped with a fried egg, and Anchovy Caper Sauce was amazing.
Veal a la Holstein was invented in the late 19th Century by the chef at the Berlin restaurant Borschardt, to please the palate of one Count Friedrich von Holstein. At John's and at some other restaurants the dish is called Veal Bismark.

ITALIAN CHRISTMAS
SEAFOOD RECIPES
The FEAST of 7 FISH
"La VIGILIA"
The FEAST of The SEVEN FISH Italian Christmas is one of Italy and Italian-America's most sacred traditions. The Feast, known as La Vigilia in Naples and Southern Italy is a wonderful ritual practiced by Italians in Italy, and the Italian-American Enclave of America. This wonderful Christmas Eve Feast might be very well more fervent with Italian-Americans in The USA than it is back home in mother Italy.
It is said that the 7 Fish of La Vigilia signifies The 7 Sacraments of The Roman Catholic Church. La Vigilia translated from Italian to English means "The Vigil" in which Mary and Joseph and people in Bethlehem, Jerusalem awaited the birth of the baby Jesus.
The Feast may be made with whatever seven fish (Fish Dishes) an Italian Family might choose. The most traditional dishes are Baccala (Cod Fish) and EEL.
