Yesterday my girls went to my mothers house to learn how to make the zugu and mudiga. After work I went by to taste the fruit of their labor. Yum! I had about 6 slices of Virgilio’s bread dipped in the zugu on the stove before I even got to the table.

I don’t know who’s idea it was to teach them (probably your mothers) but what an excellent idea.

I think the Portuguese call dipping bread in soup/sauce “sorpa,” if I remember from my childhood days on Mt. Vernon Street. Anyone want to help me out, here? (I’m English, Scottish and French.)
Mama’s meatballs look delish. “How ’bout the recipe, Capt. Joe?”

I’ll ask but you know those Italian mothers, unless you’re family it’s tough to get the recipe
