Feast of the 7 Fishes - La Vigile 2025

In this episode of the Signal Award-winning I Wish I Were a Prosciutto, Sandra speaks about her visit to the Neapolitan presepio (creche) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Martin makes a mess with his grandmother's pizzelle iron. He does manage to prepare and serve delicious Saint Lucy Buns and a delicious plate of pasta alici (pasta with anchovies). In the main section, they speak with Martin's mom, Barbara Hawes. They talk about La Vigile - The Feast - The Feast of the 7 Fishes - Christmas Eve. Even though his family never used the appellation "Feast of the 7 Fishes," Martin and Barbara firmly count 7 distinct types of seafood served on Christmas Eve.#Christmaseve #lavigile #feastofthesevenfishes #santalucia #saintlucybuns #metropolitanmuseumofart #presepio #creche #saintnicholas #pastaalici #anchovies #krispele #stocco #baccala #delmontetomatosauce #beaconpodcasting #signalawards #departmentofchildandfamilynorwalkct #norwalkct #anisetteliqueur #fernetbranca #tombola #christmasinnewyork #italianchristmastradition #italianamericanpodcast #oranges #fruitbowl #presepe
