So on Monday afternoon i got in my car with one of my friends and we started our venture into the city. Our destination was Mulberry street in the center of NYC little Italy. If your a New Yorker you know September in little Italy is the Feast Of San Gennaro!!!!! Ohhhh how i love the feast. ( pssss only go early in the day, evenings are way to crazy)Ok so i go with one thing in mind... ummm FOOD!!!!!! Thats what feasts are about, forget the games and the music its all about the food!!!!! Some people go for the sausage and peppers and some for the zeppole but not me.... no no no i got for the torrone candy!! Oh god, i love this stuff. Torrone is a candy made of egg whites and sugar and its filled with roasted almonds. They make this candy in large bricks. The bricks are then taken to festivals ad sold off in smaller pieces. The way they brake it is with a hammer. Not only is the candy great but i love the "show" or "drama" involved in the whole thing. Some crazy ZIP swinging around a hammer to give you some weird looking candy. FUN. So now that i went to the feast i am still craving more torrone and i am to crazy this week to head back to the city to get some more. So i find myself looking for recipes online. I'm going to make it!!!! i found some cool recipes and will give you updates on it.. any thoughts from you guys?? and have you gone to the feast??? NO??? GO!!!! The Feast Of San Gennaro
