buckeyemike Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Is Retatta one of those indigenous Western New York dishes, like beef on weck (good) or the garbage plate (awful)? Send me some sponge candy, please... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Is Retatta one of those indigenous Western New York dishes, like beef on weck (good) or the garbage plate (awful)? Send me some sponge candy, please... Mike 407613[/snapback] I won't touch a retatta with a 10 foot pole, but your gonna pee some people off with your garbage plate comment. Those that regularly partake in them swear by their cleansing abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that regularly partake in them swear by their cleansing abilities. 407632[/snapback] My views on garbage plates (I thought) were known previously on this board. Cleansing abilities?? A couple of Exlax or a jar of Metamucil will also do the trick. BTW, I read the first two pages of the old thread. That stuff sounds more awful than the garbage plate, and I NEVER thought that was possible. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 I was watching Rachael Ray on the Food Network tonight and wondering what she could do with Retatta... Methinks you won't see her cook this, or see Retatta on the menu at Ilio Dipaolo's, anytime soon. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Coli Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thanks for asking! I even did a dictionary search trying to figure out what that word meant. 409583[/snapback] Someone should add a Wikipedia entry. Make sure you do the full history, who invented it, the Retatta War of 2005, all the pertinent information. Edit: Here's the form...someone make history. Retatta entry form (anyone can edit an entry once it is in there...that's the beauty of Wikipedia.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
