I ka wā maʻamau,ʻo ka Easter (Pasqua) kahi eʻike ai i ka hopena o ka lōʻihi o ke kau o ka Lent,ʻo ka manawaʻaʻole iʻaiʻia nā meaʻai e like me kaʻiʻo, nā hua, ka waiū, a me ka paila, a he mea nui ia no kahiʻahaʻaina nui aʻahaʻaina (akā,ʻoiaʻiʻo, he aha ka hōʻoluʻolu o'Esaliaʻole?).
ʻOiaiʻo Lent ka mea i mālamaʻoleʻia e like me ka manawa ma mua, a ma kahi ao hou o ka laweʻana mai i nā meaʻai a me ka waiʻai,ʻaʻole mākou e mālama i nā kumukūʻai maʻamau i hoʻonohonoho ponoʻia e nā kau a me ka wīwī,ʻo ka Easter kekahi manawa no ka hoʻolauleʻa, akā i ka pākaukau.
ʻO kahi'ōlelo Pelekānia kaulanaʻo Italian, " Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi ,"ʻo ia hoʻi "Ke Mele Kalikimaka me kou mau mākua, Easter a me kāu mea e makemake ai." ʻO nā'ōlelo'ē aʻe, he mea maʻamau ka liloʻana i ka Kalikimaka ( Natale ) me kaʻohana, akāʻo ka Easter (ʻoiai paha e pili ana paha kaʻohana, ka nui o nā lā hoʻomaha Italia), heʻano liʻiliʻi ia, a ua noaʻoe e hoʻoliʻoli me kāu mau hoaaloha .
I ka hoʻomakaʻana o ke kenekulia 15, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa nā'Ikalia i nā hua i kāhuaʻia no ka Easter me nā mea kanu, nā pua, a me nāʻiliʻoki. I kēia lā,ʻohiʻia nā hua balekale i loaʻa nā mea pāʻani mele kahiʻoihana kaulana o ka Easter no nā keiki Italia.
ʻO nā meaʻoi loa i loko o nā ipu Easter Italia he hua a me nā keiki hipa, nā hōʻailonaʻelua o ka hoʻoulu hou a me ka hānau hou. ʻO ka pasquale brodetto o ka Basilicata ka'āpanaʻelua , ma keʻano o ka hipa a me ka frittata kīʻaha. Hiki i nā'Ilihi Pelekane ke hana i nāʻano meaʻala likeʻole o kaʻAta Aʻa e hui pinepine ai i ka meaʻai, ka uale, a me nā hua a pau, ma ka shell.
ʻO ka casatiello mai Naples kahi hoʻokahi o ka berena, iʻokiʻia i loko o ke apo i hoʻopaʻaʻia me nā hua a pau. ʻO ka'āina o Liguria i hanaʻia i nā papa he 33 aʻoi aku ka palapalapa, hoʻokahi no kēlā me kēia makahiki o ka nohoʻana o Iesū.
Hiki ke hoʻomakaʻia kahiʻai Pākena'Inelani e hoʻopukaʻia me ka puʻu, pēlā i ka pasquale Roman, a me ka hua o ka momona, i kāwiliʻia me ka hua manu a me ka pipi a me ke keiki hipa, a me ka nani o Naples i kaulana i ka honua a likeʻo ka Italian Soup Soup .
Nui ka nui o ka palaoa o ka Easter,ʻo ka colomba nui loa ,ʻo ia ka mea hū me ka'ūmū me ka'alamone a me ka paʻakaiʻulaʻula, aʻano like me keʻanoʻono a me ka meaʻono i ka Pākasi Mele Kalikimaka maʻamau, panettone . ʻO ka pahu colomba ka mea i puka mai i ka'āina Lombardy, akā ua kaulana i nā lā a pauʻo Italia a ma nā Italia i nā'āina'ē.
ʻO kekahi kai Pāpaʻi nui kaulanaʻo ia ka pastiera napoletana , mahalo nuiʻia eʻaiʻia i kēia manawa a puni. He kumukūʻauʻono ia a me ka'ōmaʻomaʻu semolina i kīʻia me ka lemon zest a me ka waiʻalani-puawai, a hanaʻia me nā huapalaoa o ka huapalaoa a me kaʻalaniʻalani. ʻO koʻu māmā heʻoi aku māmā, wikiwiki,'ōwili-ʻole ka polokalamu i loaʻa nā waina ma mua o ka huapalaoa . (Hoʻokahi mau lā e hana ai ka hana kahiko).
