Wishbone Italian Salad Dressing Story History

 

Phillip Solommi

WISHBONE SALAD DRESSING

Next time you use or see a bottle of that American classic bottle Salad Dressing, WISHBONE ITALIAN DRESSING you will have something that is a creation out of the ITALIAN ENCLAVES. While Wishbone is decidedly American Mainstream it was created by a family that immigrated from Sicily to Cleveland, Ohio. Lena Sollomi and her family used this vinaigrette in their home, recipe said to have come from their town in Sicily. Sicilian cuisine is known for these types of marinades and dressing, like the famous Salmoriglio. Lena's son Philip after a stint in the Army landed in the Kansas City area. Also, an Italian enclave. He opened various restaurants and one of them was the WISHBONE Restaurant.

One of his dishes was pairing Fried Chicken with this Salad Dressing his mother used to make. The dressing was used on chicken and also on salads and it became so popular in the restaurant he started to make huge quantities of it and sell it from the restaurant. Around the beginning of the 1950's the Salad dressing sales were making so much money for the family they sold the restaurant and began to mass produce it as the dressing we know today. Subsequently Sollomi sold the business to a huge corporation for millions. He realized the American dream that his parents immigrated from Sicily to America imagined for their children. Whether you like or dislike the bottled dressing, that's not the real story here. The real story is how our immigrant ancestors came to the USA in search of a better life for their families and how they achieved their successes, big and small.

Italian American Christmas 7 Fish Feast Recipes

 

Fried Baccala

When I was a little one, each year at Christmas, my grandmother would make these wonderful fried cod or cauliflower delicacies wrapped in seasoned dough! Bowls of baccala (cod fish) and cauliflower fritters would be set out on the Christmas Eve table and we would eat our fill! My little sister would eat them until she literally got sick much to the dismay of my father who would warn her of the imminent danger of her over indulgence!

What can I say; these Christmas Baccala and Cauliflower Fritters are absolutely delicious; and though I am not that big on fried foods in my normal diet, the Holidays just beg to differ! Enjoy my Christmas Baccala and Cauliflower Fritters this month at Christmas or whatever Holiday you observe; these fritters don’t discriminate, they just taste good! 

Fried Cauliflower

RECIPE

In a large bowl make the batter with

1&1/2 cups organic all purpose flour 

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 tablespoon parsley flakes

1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper

1 cup water

(Note if you need more batter, increase the flour to 2 cups and add another egg, adjust seasoning)

24 ounces grape seed oil for frying

For the Baccala 

1 lb cod fish fillets, water, salt and pepper

Boil the fillets in the seasoned water until just cooked yet firm

Drain on paper towels, break up in chunks

The GODFATHER

Mario Puzo

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

AMAZON.com

The GODFATHER

Mario Puzo’s classic saga of an American crime family that became a global phenomenon—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo’s epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched. A tale of family and society, law and order, obedience and rebellion, it reveals the dark passions of human nature played out against a backdrop of the American dream.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld.
