Toasted Ravioli is a St. Louis staple! Grew up with them and love them! The ravioli are usually meat filled and served with marinara. Now I have a craving!!!

 

 

Thanks to @Kim Shook, I am now well stocked. Not only did my local Kroger have them, but they were on sale at only $2.99 each if I bought five. So I did! 😁

Add me to the toasted rav fan line. At least before the celiac diagnosis. My kids can eat a boxful at a sitting.

 

Interestingly, the Arkansas Delta has a sizeable Italian population, made up of descendants of immigrants in the 1920s-30s. I may have told the story of how they came here before; if not, and if anyone's interested, I will. But a consequence is that damn nearly every small Delta town has a reasonably decent Italian restaurant, mostly of the red-sauce workingman Italian variety, and many dishes that have been "italianized" from Southern classics, i.e.,

 

• Fried chicken with marinara sauce
• Spaghetti as a veggie side to fried catfish (red sauce with no meat)
• and my personal favorite, a debris po'boy, shredded pot roast over a split small baguette, topped with marinara sauce
• and the classic barbecue spaghetti, pulled pork and a barbecue-flavored red sauce over linguine

Toasted rav as the appetizer, naturally.

My maternal family came from the Delta - the names were Terrelli, DeMarco, and Lopresto.  They came up from NOLA and some ended up in Washington DC for jobs during WWII.  That's how I ended up being the only kid I knew who ate canned tamales!

What I consider minimum effort and max satisfaction. I take a lot of care in making my salad mixes though  😁

It might be a technicality, but if it contains lactics/mayonnaise, we‘d classify it as Fleischsalat ...

That reminds me of a Chinese restaurant where I used to live. They had two menus, one for regular people and one for Chinese customers.  We always asked for the Chinese menu then had to have everything explained to us. Some of the food had a lot of those little red chilies.  They were good but I had to take them in moderation.

Charlie had a request for dinner:  Either strip or ribeye steak, mac & cheese and a vegetable, no potatoes.  I added strawberries.
