Redazione

This legendary and robust Pistoiese soup has its roots in the extremely frugal cuisine of the quinto quarto. Slices of stale bread are soaked and slowly stewed in the cooking broth of beef offal until they break down into a dense, extraordinarily fortifying mixture. Enriched with pieces of tripe and lampredotto, it delivers a savory, earthy flavor with incredible persistence.
