    I am pretty sure the original recipe calls for lard, not "shortening"

      True...but it's hard to find lard in the store where I live, and also a lot of people don't want to eat it. But it certainly tastes better that way!

        furthermore, hydrogenated vegetable oils (margarine) are so bad for your health that the FDA established there is no safe limit for consumption, asking consumer to consume the least possible amount of the stuff.

        Thanks goodness in Italian culture margarine is not much used... apart for any industrial food product you can think of... :-((

          That's what I love about eating in Italy. Whether it's in someones home or a restuarant, the food is very simple, fresh, flavorful. I have started cooking that way myself.

            Yep, she is right you MUST try it, it's exactly what you may need to feed yourself when you'll be feeling down
