In my class on Italian Folklore, we learned many proverbs and the stories behind them. My absolute favorite is "Finire a tarallucci e vino." Tarallucci are a type of Italian cookies, so the saying means "To finish with cookies and wine." It's used when two (or more) friends have been disputing, and when they make up it's said that they "finish with cookies and wine," and all is well again. And apparently "Tarallucci e Vino" is the name of a restaurant in the East Village!Here are some pictures of tarallucci e vino I found online:
Buon Appetito!
